Overall great value for money. The bedrooms are really nice. Multiple bathrooms and toilets. The living room is spacious and comfy and has a homely feeling to it. The hotel staffs are great and very nice and will help you if you need anything at all. Nice location, two minutes walk from supermarket, liquor store, and other shops. Stayed here one night and would absolutely recommend it to anybody, will go back there if I come to Rakaia again.

Good food, not blingy presented, just good wholesome country food.
Facilities are from the 1930 era and generally the Hotel is a bit tired, but current owners are trying hard to improve it

The bed was comfy and had two pillows. My room was spacious for one person and the staff were very friendly.
The toilet doors don't lock as well as the window to my fire escape.
