Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Absolutely stunning piece of NZ. Accommodation itself is in need of a really good clean. Surface clean, but run down and needs a thorough clean/spruce-up.
Great view from lovely big room with high ceilings.
Not much choice in meal options. If you stay, ask for the "sll day bar menu" as well!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disappointed paid over $400.00 per night the room was untidy and low spec. The Wait at the bars was far too long , I had to park my vechicle away from our room not what I expect from a hotel.
Hotel is right in the beach. Rooms don’t have air conditioning. Limited menu items at the restaurant. Left the sliding room door open at night and several flies of some kind came in and bit my wife at night. Okay property if just staying for one night.
