Stayed 2 nights as part of holiday around NZ. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, and we were informed as soon as we got there that we had been given an upgrade. The room was fantastic with large living area, a kitchen area, nice bedroom and big bathroom with shower and jacuzzi bath big enough for 2. The restaurant was nice, though I felt the choice was limited. We had breakfast there. Parking was in the hotel grounds, close to the room and free. The help yourself breakfast was quite expensive and we didn't want that much so we had something smaller where coffee and juice was not included, so we had coffee in nour room.
