Clean room, nice staff, good facilities. The only thing is you can only take stairs to the second floor, so if you have big luggage, it will be a bit inconvenient.

Huka Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls we've ever seen. Every second up to 220,000 litres of water gushes through the gorge. Besides that the best time to visit, in our opinion, is when the sun is about to set and the sky is painted in purple! #HukaFalls #LongExposure #Waterfall #Sunset #Nature #NewZealand
