The staff were fab, so nice and friendly, the restaurant was excellent with great service, food and cocktails, very generous starters. The room was spotless and comfortable but it was really hot and only had a ceiling fan that made a noise, so I didn’t sleep well, but apart from that, it was great.

I will never stay here again. Firstly, the communication was awful. I was told they were closing 3p on Christmas Day and I said I’d be there. But I kept getting called, messaged or emailed to the point of harassment. I explained I’m not using my phone outside when I have wifi as it costs me $5 per day. I explained where I was leaving from and how long the drive was and even got replies. But was still called while I was driving and 100km away and told they were closing at 3p. The room was so tiny I had to climb over the bed to make a cup of tea, there was nowhere for my small suitcase, no fridge to cool my food I’d bought because it was Christmas Day. Access to a fridge should be mandatory. Then they take my credit card for security when there is nothing in the room to steal or break. The pool was closed or broken. There is no bin in the common outside area where you are forced to eat as there is no room in the room. So, bad room, staff, amenities and more. I paid only $11 more for a lovely airport hotel in Auckland the night I arrived. Everything was cheap, mean and small here down to the toiletries. It was less than a private room in a youth hostel. You can find better.
Shocking. Where they have clothes hangers is above the coffee and tea? Better to make this a single room, charge less and give the guests a fridge. Clearly, they do not care for their guests.

Not enough parking, had to park down street. Staff unpleasant, mattress dirty,...noisy: heard every footstep from the room above. Poor quality hotel. Better for backpackers who don't care but it is not at a backpacker price.

Polite staff on arrival. Comfy bed, room nice and clean. Was on the ground floor, perhaps a room on a level up may of been better, will do next time. Great location Right across the road from the lake which was lovely, and an easy walk into town.

The room was small but it was as expected and was adequate for one night. Unfortunately there was a big party staying and they were very noisy in the early innthe morning
