Très confortable mais pas de flexibilité pour qui a des contraintes alimentaires.
Pros:

Personnel accueillant et aidant. Chambres très agréables, mais n'y allez pas si vous avez des contraintes alimentaires.

Cons:

Le restaurant semble réputé mais la carte manquait de choix végétariens, donc nous ne l'avons pas testé.
Formule petit déjeuner déconcertante, avec presque rien au buffet et seulement un plat a choisir au menu parmi une dizaine de choix, mais sans aucune adaptation possible pour les diabétiques et les végétariens.
Au final c'était très bon et nous avons bien mangé, mais sans choix du fait de nos contraintes et de l'absence de flexibilité.

Ive stayed in nicer for alot less money in Queenstown probably wouldn't stay here again
Pros:

Nice view from the room and the room was clean

Cons:

Considering the price the room was rough paint flaking from the exterior wall on the balcony table in the room was peeling on the laminate coffee machine hadn't been cleaned inside we did the hot soak and the tint on the glass had been ripped off in areas with a building site below and a giant smiths crane parked right infront if the viewing area this was advised before booking the hot soak but it definitely was a disappointment
