Overall a very nice place to stay. It was clean and comfortable. Shower was awesome Instant hot water. Although the hand basin was a tad on the small side. But again overall the bathroom was clean We stayed there for 2 nights, which would be enough as the kitchen facilities is basic with a small fridge. Karuah is a wonderful place to visit

This place is beautiful! A great option, I love it heading north when looking for a rest stop, as you can miss the morning rush through heatherbrae and continue your drive fresh the next day!
