There are 2 blocks; 1 new, 1 old. Stayed in new one, in a double room w/out ensuite. Good sized room at a good rate. Stayed here for 3 nights. So glad we picked Laughing Kiwi as it was so cosy to return to after touring the area. Bathroom and kitchen are spacious. There are internet facilities, laundry and a spa. Interesting pictures on the wall of different countries the owner has been to. Parking spaces aplenty. We checked out the old block and it looked quite cosy too. The only downside is that floor can be quite noisy when guests are walking up and down. However, by nightfall, it was quiet anyway when everyone went to sleep. Too bad it was busy period so we didn't get to try the owner's famous muffins.
