Summary: We enjoyed our stay here at the Old school house. The old wing does have its own charm but it’s quite old smelling and squeaky compared to the new wing, which is very nicely renovated. The old wing could do with some renovation to eradicate the worn out carpet smell and hinge sounds when you walk upstairs. Otherwise it’s a good stay place for large groups and very close to Dargaville restaurants and supermarket. Would highly recommend staying here when around. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and everything was very well organised
