Very easy check in. Our room looked a little tired but very spacious and clean. Comfy bed. Don’t be put off by not having en-suite facilities, we had no problem using the bathrooms when we needed them. Ate on site, delicious meals. All staff very helpful and friendly.

I loved the location of this hotel. Gorgeous views from the balcony. The bathrooms are shared, but very clean.
We ordered pizza from the bar, it was excellent, but pricey.
We stayed in room no. 1. The wifi connection there was extremely poor. Cannot comment for other rooms.
Also, for breakfast they only have cereal and toast.

A great pub with beautiful views of Lyttleton Habour and Quail Island.
It was lovely dining on the deck with delicious food and friendly staff.
The evening meal was also good with a cheerful Friday night crowd.

Older and shared bathroom with stairs to room. A beautiful area with pleasant views. Too expensive for what it is during rate increase for Xmas holidays. Very good food and bar.

Beautiful views and unique old style. We loved the pool and grounds staff friendly and helpful.
We didn't like the strong food smells in the room. A scented candle or an essential oil diffuser would have been lovely. There was a lovely large candle in the fire place but no matches.

For the price I paid I thought the room could have been a lot better. I didn't like there was mo private bathroom in the room. Having a communial shower in the hallway to me isn't very hygienic as u don't no what hidden bugs people have got. Aside from that the atmosphere was nice and I enjoyed the pool.
