Road Sun Tourist Lodge

We booked to stay for the Guns n Roses concert (we are from Auckland). Yes we booked the only option available via booking.com of non refundable" but I've had really high confidence in the hospitality sector that if we were unable to travel due to COVID then an arrangement could be made for a refund or deferred booking. Sure enough a few weeks after booking

Rooms literally look like 5 star. Spa, sauna + pool 5 stars. The fact that they were able to cater bfast + lunch for our group was great. Location was great for getaway, surrounded by trees and a pond. Even if weather isn’t great you can eat inside and out, plenty of options. We really are impressed by the place. The host/ owner also is reachable by text, so we were able to just message him whenever we needed something. Eg. What time we were ready to have bfast etc.Tea was amazing.Plenty of car park.Very clean.Downside:Although the 2 men were friendly, his friend creeped us out a bit. It would be great if they weren’t inside the Bnb and hung around somewhere else. ( the Bnb was big, i guess it was just because it was a group of girls in bikinis we felt weird ) but w/ out taking out of context they were friendly!! And very kind.The butter was expired. Didn’t really bother us since we didn’t eat the butter.We asked for a late checkout 1pm and this was discussed and approved by the owner. I guess prior he wasn’t booked up for the night and then maybe woke up the next morning all booked up, it still was annoying he reminded us check out by 11am. He did let us leave at 1 when I reminded him, we could check out at 1pm.
