Beautiful hotel with comfortable, clean, and stylishly decorated rooms with all the amenities you could need or want (toiletries, robes, coffee/tea). We arrived late and missed the check-in time but we were still able to get to our room okay (sorry for the late ring!). Breakfast was continental style with mainly fruits, breads and cereals and the woman responsible for cleaning and restocking throughout breakfast was simply lovely, and did such a great job making sure everyone had what they needed. Highly recommend this hotel stay! Also highly recommend the blue penguin encounter in Omaru, it was a highlight of our trip!
