Excellent client service and upscale feel to the entire property. While a bit “off the beaten path”, was really quiet, much less commercialized but we were treated to a beautifully appointed room, a fine dining meal and atmosphere with superb service and quality.

Our room (#10) was huge, with wonderful antique furnishings. The lobby was furnished the same with comfortable seating for reading with a cup of tea or a wonderful gin and tonic from their range of NZ gins. The dinner was excellent.

Comfortable but overpriced

Very comfortable rooms and beds. Continental breakfast supplied but quite basic for overall price. For example no special muesli or porridge or different yoghurts. Would have appreciated plunger or machine made coffee. No cheese knives for cheese board. Dinner was good. Cheerful service
