The hosts were very friendly the place is in a nice location close to all amenities. The bar and restraunt was a amazing with great food. We could play poll have a drink and watch the all blacks with a short walk back to our room. The room we stayed in was clean and bed was comfortable also. Amazing and the price really exceeded our expectations. Thanks Salty Dog Inn. We will definitely be back.
