    Pros +

    • staff and location
    • The staff were very lovely, pleasant and helpful. We had a really good meal in their dining room.
    • A beautiful big bed, very warm & we were super fortunate to wake up to a beautiful clear blue day on Sunday.

    Cons -

    • We travel about 9 months a year so stay in miriads of accommodations. This is not a bad place but is absolutely not a 4 star by any stretch of the imagination-- better as a two star so would meet expectations. It also smelled very stale when we entered.
    • The room we had could use some updating. The decor really needed to be updated. The rug was not so clean as was the upholstery on the chairs. The bed was ok but no headboard. Outside, there was fences needing replacement, they were falling over.
    • Shower curtain prefer a screen.

    No fuss check in, room & facilities basic, but very clean & everything we needed for a comfortable night. Plenty of hot water and a great shower.

    Shower curtain prefer a screen.

    Easy to find, clean, comfortable

    Dated, small bathroom

    Customer service 15/10! Very kind, friendly & attentive staff. Was warmly greeted the second we walked into the front door. Room was very clean and very tidy, bed was super comfy and the view from the balcony was stunning with the full moon and the sunrise.

    Small downside was the water from the shower ran almost the door and toilet, not a major issue just a little slippery for the kid. Otherwise, everything else was Great!

    5LorettaPosted on: 4-12-2025

    Room was clean and tidy

    The bathroom shower head won’t stay up and the water from the shower went all over the floor. This made it very slippery during the night going to the toilet

    7PaulPosted on: 4-2-2025

    Was clean, tidy and warm

    Very small and basin very small (only water source/no sink

    8TonyaPosted on: 3-17-2025

    Amazing views, room was well set up, would stay again.

    As the balcony is shared, some net curtains would be good for privacy without losing the view and natural light.

    6GillianPosted on: 3-3-2025

    Wonderful views

    The shower was difficult to regulate and the basin was too small to have a shave in

    7KerryPosted on: 3-2-2025

    Good location Had all facilities we needed

    Unable to close windows in kitchen and bathroom so room had several bugs and no fly spray Bed was lumpy and could feel mattress springs

    7DelPosted on: 3-2-2025

    The room has been refurbished with a beautiful finish. I found the slope in the room a bit unnerving at times, especially when getting out of bed, my partner not so much.The bathroom is an excellent size. It was unfortunate that the shower floor didn't allow adequate drainage, causing a large, migrating pool of water to collect. I think the drain probably wasn't big enough and/or in a good location. Overall, I was happy with our stay. The room would suit anyone who is wheelchair bound or requires extra space to maneuver.

    6ShourongPosted on: 3-2-2025

    Room is a bit small.

    It's pretty clean and easy to park.

    7MclachlanPosted on: 2-15-2025

    Clean room and comfortable bed. Friendly staff

    The meal we had in house wasn’t up to standard. The pork chops were dry and even a steak knife didn’t make it easy to cut.

    8PaulPosted on: 2-14-2025

    Bed was comfy. Restaurant food was very good. Staff friendly. Good value!

    8ScoobydrewePosted on: 2-8-2025

    Spot,less rooms. Plenty of towels. A bonus was the sandwiches and cake and apple in the fridge. Staff were very friendly. The views were beautiful. Shame the restaurant balcony wasn't on the sunny side. The centre if town has only one bar so the fact that the hotel was a bit of a walk we found the bar there quite acceptable

    Internet a. It hit and miss but that's OK.

    10HelenPosted on: 2-7-2025

    We are staying with them again for a longer period. Helpful and very accommodating. JPL appreciate

    The Scotch steak dinner was delicious, with a glass of NZ Pinot.

    Needs railings. Difficult to do stairs.
