we only had breakfast here, which had a good selection, the sausages are not to our taste and we like our bacon cooked more, this was something we should have asked for as i am sure tgey would have done that. room was lovely, nice to have 2 arm chairs to relax in. The shower screen could do with a good clean or replacement of the trim across the bottom of the glass. We did not use the pool but this was kept clean and tidy. I did have a massage done by Brook which was very nice.

Assistant from staff was excellent. We were offered a room upgrade but enjoyed the one we'd chosen, as it had lots of room and was comfortable. The complimentary body wash and moisturiser was wonderful with the manuka honey and kawakawa ingredients. We loved the quirky scenic drive from the main road. Nice views of the city.
