"Wow! An amazing experience at a beautiful property, with outstanding service. We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our travels in NZ, and this was truly the highlight of our trip. The setting is stunning, the food is outstanding, and the room is beautiful. But the staff are what make the place really special. Over the years, we have stayed in excellent hotels around the world, and this one ranks among the best. Exclusive, exquisite, and refined. Highly recommended."

"Good clean room and beds, etc. Comfortable enough bed for bunk beds. Room heated up quickly with small fixed heater. Limited parking spots around the property but front desk staff were very friendly and helpful with finding and showing me alternative parking spots to use on-site when the regular marked spaces were full. Only negative was the wifi was not working in the building I was accommodated in during my stay, although I was able to access it while in the reception area. Location a short walk into town."
