Beautiful location and easy walk into the city although it's a reasonable distance away. The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in!! Amazing. Slightly dated room decor which didn't matter a bit, however the bathroom lighting was absolutely shocking and there were no other mirrors in the room to use where there was some natural light. If you're getting ready for an event like I was, not a great space for make up!

Great location right on the Lake. We paid $160 nzd for our nights stay which represents excellent value! The service was very good. We had drinks and dinner at the restaurant & once again the food & service was excellent. Would recommend
