We loved the setting with mature trees and well cared for outdoor area's.The team were welcoming, breakfast was just right in a spacious area with indoor or outdoor options. A solid and characterfilled building ideal with good transport connections, near to the airstrip without the bustle of Central Hamilton. Great option for a meeting or conference as well as an escape

Clean and spacious, and relaxing room with very friendly staff. The venue, the decorations, and the building itself are all so gorgeous! The breakfast every morning was tasty and great to start the day. We stayed two nights but we should stay longer and should enjoy the stay itself more. That was very memorable and relaxing time, thank you so much.

A very unique and somewhat quirky building on expansive wooded grounds. Non conventional structure incorporating exposed welded iron beams, glassed in common area on the main floor that fully opens up to the outside, and lots of reclaimed timber in the floor and trim throughout. Live edge wood counter with an industrial style stainless steel shower stall and sink in the bath. Large central skylight, and wrap around outside decks accessible from the rooms. If you're looking for another standard issue chain hotel room,this isn't it - I really enjoyed it, construction quirks, floor squeaks and all. 😀 Nice staff and a good continental breakfast as well. 👍

Wonderful staff who accommodated our very late arrival. Room was clean and well appointed. The having to go up a few steps to get into the bathroom took a little getting used to, but when you know the history of the building it was understandable. Great place, I highly recommend it.
