The host was wonderful, we got a fantastic welcoming and she was ready to help us with all the needs and questions we had.
The room was spacious and warm, the bathroom was over the top. Comfortable, clean, perfect location.
Absolutely loved our stay. The room was beautiful and just as advertised. Took a bath in the jet tub, felt so good. Comfy bed and linen. Lovely view of NZ nature. And the staff is THE BEST! Our heli tour was canceled so we were earlier than expected. Room was provided early as a courtesy. Upon leaving, there was heavy rain. Our receptionist came outside to collect the room key so that we didn't get wet.
