The accommodation was surprisingly good for the price and location. The receptionist was very accommodating and waited for me until I arrived before she called it a day. I liked the common bathroom outside the main house as it was really warm and spacious.

Right next to the river, great for walks, what more can you ask for, Everything a solo traveler needs is there. About 15mins walk to town centre. Friendly host Alice and dog Dash.

Stayed here for the night as it was one of the cheapest option. Private twin room with shared toilet. The kitchen is also well equipped. For the area I was staying in, total of 2 toilets with shower facilities.

ワンガヌイの観光で1泊しました。施設はとても清潔で、キッチンやバスルームも気持ちよく使うことができました。お部屋は温かく、居心地良く過ごせました。ワンガヌイ川のほとりで、ロケーションも良かったです。
