This was my second time staying here, and it was just as good as the first. The chalet was different from my previous stay, but the quality remained excellent—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The experience was just as enjoyable, proving that this place is consistently reliable. Will definitely return again!
Very roomy unit with all the facilities needed. Aircon was on at arrival so a comfortable start.
Bed was good, bathroom was good.
Not motels fault but people in next door unit stayed up late and were noisy.
We are staying at the motel again next week.
Ideal location if you want to avoid town and stay near the beach. I enjoyed evening walk from hotel to Saint Kilda beach. It was less than 5 km for return trip.
ににんじんきむち個室スペースの居心地は抜群ですが、共用設備の混雑が気になりました!receptionの方はみなさんとても親切でした!
【良かった点】
• 全体的な居心地が良く、3泊の滞在を快適に過ごせました。
• 個人のスペースがしっかり確保されており、プライバシー面でも安心感があります。
• ベッドスペースにあるQRコードで館内設備を確認できるのは、非常に便利で助かりました。
【気になった点】
• 水回りの混雑: シャワー4つに対して洗面台が2つしかなく、時間帯によってはかなり混み合います。特に洗面台とドライヤーのスペースが同じなので、女性の利用者が多い時は使いづらさを感じました。
• 衛生面: タイミングによってはシャワー室に髪の毛が残っていたり、排水が詰まって流れないことがありました。
• 洗濯設備: 洗濯機・乾燥機ともに利用者が多く、順番待ちが発生します。洗濯機から少し生臭いにおいがすることもありました。
(※料金:洗濯5ドル、乾燥5ドルの計10ドル。1階レセプションでトークン購入が必要。洗剤は別途2ドルでした)
【総評】
基本的には良い宿ですが、水回りや洗濯機などの共用設備に関しては、使うタイミングによって快適さが左右される印象です。混雑状況などもQRコードでリアルタイムに確認できるようになれば、さらに素晴らしい宿になると思います。
Great privacy and comfort, but facilities can get crowded.
Pros:
• The overall atmosphere was cozy and I had a comfortable 3-night stay.
• The individual spaces were well-maintained and offered good privacy.
• The QR code in the bed space was very convenient for checking hostel information.
Cons:
• Shared Facilities: There are only 2 sinks for 4 showers, which caused heavy congestion, especially in the female bathroom where the vanity and hairdryer areas overlap.
• Cleanliness: Depending on the timing, I noticed hair left in the showers and occasional drainage issues.
• Laundry: Both washers and dryers were frequently occupied. A wash costs NZD 5, a dry costs NZD 5 (tokens available at reception), and detergent is NZD 2. I also noticed a slight damp smell from the washing machine.
Verdict:
It’s a solid hostel, but your comfort depends on the timing of using shared areas. It would be a perfect 10/10 if the QR code system could show real-time congestion for the bathrooms!
SSafiyoooI had a truly wonderful stay at this retreat. The place itself is absolutely spectacular — very calming, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by breathtaking views. The deck is stunning, and it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
The owners were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and looked after throughout my stay. Their hospitality genuinely stood out. The dogs were lovely and added so much warmth to the experience. Breakfast was excellent, and the variety of teas available was out of this world.
As a female solo traveller, I felt completely safe, comfortable, and well cared for, which is something I value highly. The atmosphere is peaceful and nurturing — exactly what you want from a retreat.
The only minor downside is that it’s a bit far from the shops (around a one-hour walk). However, this was easily managed as Uber is only a 6-minute drive, and the hosts were also kind enough to offer lifts when possible.
Overall, an absolutely stunning place, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay
