"Parking was clise to the door of our downstairs room, tidy well set up kitchen with a dishwasher. There was a great mixture of lightning options. The shower water was lovely and warm. We only stayed one night would have loved to stay longer "
"The property is amazing, but is being left to go to wrack and ruin (it's not there yet, but it's certainly on its way). It's rather sad to see. The staff are lovely, but there are very few of them. Oftentimes you'd go through reception without seeing anyone on the desk. Rooms are not serviced daily, which feels a little inattentive, not Kiwi hospitality. There's old furniture stacked up in poritcos, hoses left straggled under hedges, hedges themselves are roughly chopped. Weeds are taking over the formerly manicured grounds. Leaves are strewn across the lawns. Even easy maintenance tasks like replacing moldy silicone around the basin has gone by the wayside... the whole place feels rather devoid of care..."
"Quieter time in town, but asked to check in earlier, which was fantastic, as it allowed us to get to the springs for the afternoon, followed by dinner at a great nearby restaurant."
