Needed a quilt on my bed as it only had a sheet so I was happy to receive a quilt and blanket. Heap pump is there but I dont use a heat pump. Staff are excellent, Room service excellent, highly recommend Tom Yum Prawns. Great hospitality. Booked for next month and a few of other Students have changed accommodation to Waiora so that's Word.

Room was clean, staff was extremely friendly and kindly showed us hospitality upon knowing we were on our honeymoon. The only issue was that our AC unit didn’t work. Otherwise a great stay!

Stayed 1 night

the room was OK and the limited staff were run off their feet and not answering the telephone when dialing from the room to reception. The dinner to our room was only mediocre for the price. very narrow corridors to the rooms. Booking in was slow and long winded considering that we had booked well in advance.
