Guesthouse Aotearoa Premantura

I’ve stayed here several times and always found it a nice place, clean and comfortable. The hosts are very kind and friendly. Highly recommended. :)

Great value for the money, close to the nature park and breathtaking beaches. Best hosts ever! ❤

The host and location are great, and free parking is a big plus. But the WiFi only works from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. for some reason. Maybe someone is paranoid about 5G signals, etc. The toilet is squeezed into a bathroom corner, and even though I’m not a fat person, I could barely sit on it. There’s no air conditioning, which is unbearable, though the host does provide a fan. Privacy is an issue too. The window screens are wooden and can be opened from outside, so they don’t provide complete privacy. I had to hang towels over the windows. That blocked the view, but also meant I couldn’t leave a window open overnight. In the bathroom, the wooden screen can be opened from outside as well, so anyone could see everything going on in there.

The room was comfortable and spacious, and clean and tidy throughout. For dining there’s a microwave, kettle and refrigerator, plus dishes and a little table with two chairs. The bathroom is small and basic. The hostess is very kind and friendly.
