Has everything we needed for a one night stopover and would stay again.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable and good location with nice view. Great to have a restaurant on site so we didn’t need to go in to town to eat. Good range of food for both dinner and breakfast.

Cons:

Never enough tea and coffee in the room ☺️

Nice and friendly staff, good location, but TV didnt work.
Pros:

Friendly staff, rooms were comfortable and very clean. We ate dinner in the restaraunt and food was good and well priced.

Cons:

TV didnt work and the sky box was hanging of the wall. There was also renovations going on which we didnt know about so workmen were everywhere and seemed to be waiting for us to leave.

Location is nice But outdated rooms
Pros:

Buffet breakfast was ok, friendly staff, parking available

Cons:

Rooms were separated from the reception/main building so if you need to go for your breakfast, you hope that it will not rain; furniture/chair needs replacement, too old, seems like there's no wood at the bottom of the chair; no exhaust fan in the toilet; needs renovation;

Family from Auckland
Pros:

The staff were lovely, as we checked in late travelling from Auckland. Our room was nice and cozy and the beds were comfortable. We would stay again.😊

Cons:

We were staying in a room next to the stairway, so we could hear people walking up and down and talking during the night, other than that everything was fine.
