Such a warm and frirndly welcome with that wonderful kiwi humour. We were provided with several eating suggestions within easy walking distance. The room was impeccable and comfortable. They provide their own shuttle service to the airport so no wondering or waiting for your ride to turn up. We left at 4am for a 10 minute trip to the airport. Highly recommend.
