Acceptable accommodation. Showing its age, a bit dated and tired. No coffee plunger or plunger coffee which is the norm now in NZ. Service by staff was good as they found something in our unit after we left and rang to check it was ours (it wasn't but had been left by a previous occupier). Overall acceptable for a quiet weekend away.

Fabulous staff and the room and bathroom was clean. The property and units are old so chips out of taps, old plumbing, old carpet etc but it is clean. Bed linen was new and very clean and bed comfortable. The grounds are a bit overgrown and rough but it's quiet and the staff are wonderful! Some financial investment to upgrade would be make the property fantastic!

Nicely situated. Bed was great and comfortable. Cosy and roomy. TV screen wifi fine. Service very hospitable and efficient. Shower was a bit lacking pressure but worked ok. Great for overnight. Outside park Light shining at night. Needed to cover with towel to get a good dark room for sleeping. 8/10

I arrived at 5pm after a long day to find reception closed and a note on the door with a phone number which I rang twice…no reply. After a while, 2 elderly Chinese people opened up and with limited English, they gave me a room (which I had prepaid). A woman travelling alone should never have this issue. The room was nice and spacious and bed comfy, but won’t stay here again….too distressing.
