What guests loved the most

“The buffet breakfast was varied and nice. The rooms are spacious.”

, Australia

“Another nice stay for all of our parties. We had booked 3 rooms so everyone was happy and enjoyed the dining and the location for evening and morning walks. Another great breakfast spread and a very enjoyable stay.”

, New Zealand

“A very nice and spacious room with all of the comforts. The wifi speed was very good. We dined in your restaurant for dinner and really enjoyed the meal so our compliments to the chef. We also had breakfast on both mornings and were extremely impressed with the delicious spread that was presented. We had been tramping in bushland for 4 1/2 hours so the spa pool was a welcome relief to our tired muscles. All in all a very enjoyable stay, so much so that we are returning this weekend with a party of 8.”

“I loved everything about staying here. There was a room available for me and my family on really short notice, room was lovely, facilities were great and my kids loved it to. it was an amazing experience.”

, New Zealand

“The hotel is in a good area close by to many things. Handy location and easy parking off street. We used room service for the evening meal and this was excellent. The food was to a high standard and well presented. There was also plenty of choices on the in room menu especially if you are ordering between 6pm and 10pm. A more limited but very adequate in room menu also available for outside those hours. Staff where friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also plentiful, and lots of choice. I did notice that they also cater for Gluten Free if needed. Our room was very clean as where the public areas. While we did not use the bar when we were there, it certainly is a great option for a pre dinner drink, or to meet local friends in the area or for a work group staying to relax for the evening. Shower great pressure and roomy bathroom.”
