Penina • Couple Trip

Nice location. Just outside of the main town area. If you're a light sleeper though, the sounds of the trucks may wake you up. But that wasn't an issue for us. Spa pool available for guests for short time (6pm-9pm).

Oerhört bra ställe, så trevligt ägare, uppgraderade utan extra kostnad och var så hjälpsamma. Rent och fint, sköna sängar. Fanns kylskåp och Micro samt vattenkokare. Bra övernattning inför resan till Wellington.

Was very nice stay very quiet, tidy and warm. Bit noisey due to being next to state highway but not too much of a bother. Was a lovely stay.
