Reviewed Feb 9, 2026Very clean, comfortable, clearly just recently decorated and modernised. Within a few minutes walk of town centre
Situated right by the main road, and despite double glazing throughout, traffic noise is unavoidable. Fortunately Waimate is a very quiet town so traffic volumes are low and pretty much nonexistent at night
