Great stay. Had everything we needed. Only thing I didn’t like was the 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/soap. I would generally take my own for a longer stay so not a huge deal.

Great location good breakfast

The bar and breakfast were good. The parking situation a bit less so with having valet parking only. But even that wasn't that much of a hassle. Great central location very convenient for the restaurants and a short 15-20 minute walk to the Rugby stadium.

A celebration stay.

From the time we arrived until we left all staff were excellent. Always friendly and helpful. The best we have from any place in N.Z or overseas. The dining room ensured the food was correctly prepared to meet specialty requirements for guests we had. Thanks to them. The room was very undersized but comfortable.
