No customer service at all

Asked to get early breakfast as we were catching the early ferry to north island but they couldn’t accommodate. My partner left behind his earphones and they couldn’t send them to us even though we offered to pay a generous amount of money to cover costs plus some

I advised Sequoia that I wasn't coming because the event(air show) that I was to attend was cancelled. I attempted to advise Wotif also, but my emails were rejected by mxb.expediagroup.com. I prepaid $184.34( collected by Wotif), am not happy and would like that amount refunded. Thank you.

Convenient location for a night before catching morning ferry, but do bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper as is located on main roundabout into Picton so freight trucks braking as they head past to the ferry in the middle of the night can be disruptive.
