★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great food, lovely spot.
Have to say though, having only one waitress serving, taking orders, running the bar, running the bottle shop, taking orders to the hotel is a bit absurd. We truly felt sorry for her as she was totally run off her feet.
Hopefully this can be sorted out.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Paekakariki's secret. More than a pub, it's a great place for lunch and a cleansing beverage. Some nice NZ craft beers on tap and a good selection of wines.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Review for restaurant only, didn't stay.
Food I'd score 2 stars, very average, and 2/3meals small portion for the price. Small menu, and several items not available or not available as on menu (including blackboard menu, seriously just rub it off! lol) Bread&Butter pudding dry and well past its best.
Service however was impeccable, 5 stars. Our server knew the menu (and changes), and the drinks. Was pleasant, friendly, chatty but not intrusive.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Horrid chips and service. Just wanted a Friday night scoop and I was greeted on the phone by a man who took 10 minutes for me to order. Chips were soggy and nowhere near enough salt on them. Truly disappointed that I wasted my time and money on this.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went for dinner on a Sunday evening, restaurant about 1/3 full. Took 25 minutes to get served, after watching others get seated, drinks ordered and served, and dinner orders taken. Was told it was because it was very busy, 7 tables being used, no large groups. May have been short staffed? Still for me one waiter should be able to take care of at least 7 tables, I know I can with a hangover ;)
Ordered beef burger then was told they had no fries, waiter and I agreed on some wedges and a salad, then the other person on floor (bartender or duty manager) came to push me into either or, or pushed pasta so I picked pasta as I like a good carbonara and not such a fan of wedges. 30 mins for pasta to be served, no one else entered the restaurant since the group after me.
Carbonara was a good portion, penne al dente and the sauce rich and hearty. Overall very satisfied with the food. Service was frustrating, however I noticed a review posted 2hrs prior regarding the wait time to be served so may be due to short staffing or new staff. Covid has been playing havoc on us all of course. Other observations, light was a bit bright, tv a bit loud but neither uncomfortable, overall a pleasant experience once finally having drink in hand and food on fork.
Would eat here again

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Under the latest ownership many things have changed. Have stayed at Finns five or six times over the years but this stay was nothing like the other times. The room was disappointing, a coffee plunger, no perc coffee. Lights didn't work, bathroom not clean, towels were stained. The meal was average and the bar not well stocked. Great deli across the road thank goodness!!!! Will not be staying here again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Easy to get to now that Transmission Gully has opened. You don't feel like you are taking your life in your hands to cross a busy highway to get to Finn's. Even though they are now slightly off the main highway it is well worth the short drive to get to them. Double down chicken burger - so good ?. Busy today being Easter Sunday - but still not too busy to enjoy lunch. The food was amazing - hubby had the Fish burger ?
