Nice little hotel. Pools, gym and sports areas were all great. Wifi is basically non-existant. As well, the hotel was quite noisy due to how loud the doors were when closing. Walls are pretty thin! Staff were very pleasant, overall decent stay.

Wonderful property. It is dated but I love the old luxury feel so it doesn’t bother me any. Nice and quiet, great amenities, has 2 pools and a gym facility that has a hot tub and sauna. The rooms were gigantic! Which was a plus for my party of 3. Had a nice balcony to sit and listen to the bride early morning. The restaurant was ok. Seems to be the norm that New Zealanders are afraid of flavor and I have yet to have a great piece of chicken anywhere that doesn’t have the consistency of rubber. but the search continues.
