Pub across the road! Clean.
The bedroom door was hard to open/close. Rubbed on the carpet. Shower was terrible. Needs to be replaced with a new unit including a new mains pressure hot water cylinder for good pressure.

The evening meal was excellent
The price considering the room was a backpackers, we booked a cabin with private bathroom but it was an old house with 4 separate rooms in all with 3 beds but only one bathroom absolutely awful.
The condition of the room and the building it is in

Liked the proximity to the pub - the only place in Kumara for a meal - and the West Coast Wilderness Cycle Trail.
Comfortable bed and the living room was also comfortable.
Very safe storage for our bikes in a specialised locked shed, it was across the road in the grounds of the pub, and which also had the facilities for charging ebike batteries - a real bonus
No separate toilet so if someone was in the bathroom ....
It was pouring outside so needed some distraction in the afternoon until the pub opened (4:00pm). However the TV only had one channel - Prime - if it had more could not find them. There was a very limited amount of reading material and much of that was in Scandinavian or another nordic language However, to be fair, it was a backpackers so cheap, cheerful, and basic.
