The accommodation was great with a lovely terrace off our room onto lawn. Quiet and safe left windows open when we went out. Didn't hear any of the neighbors. Very roomy room. You can walk to the sea and the river from here.
I would have liked some cooking facilities and a sink not a bowl to wash dishes in. There was a microwave, toaster and jug though. If there were cooking facilities, we would probably stay longer in Karamea.
