Reviewed Jun 19, 2026The room itself was nice.
Breakfast was fairly pricey for what we got and had to pay for a decent coffee on top of that. Barmaid in public bar was hardly welcoming and made us feel as though we were putting her out by ordering what turned out to be a really expensive bar meal. Kept up by live music till late, then room parties and yelling in the hallway till 3am, then lack of sound proofing meant we were woken again by our next door neighbours being very friendly with each other at 5am. Gave up trying to sleep at 5.30.

Reviewed Jun 17, 2026Loved this lodge. Staff were excellent reception, housekeeping and restaurant staff all very accommodating. Stayed in a suite which was great. Ate in the restaurant for a number of dinners and had great food and service every time. Loved being able to have a drink in front of the fire pre dinner.
The suite was not very soundproof and we could hear the people in the next room talking and watching TV.

Ontbijtbuffet (Continental breakfast voor 24,5 Nz dollar, zeer weinig keuze uit buffet en niet vers. Omelet van de warme keuken (33 NZ dollar) wel lekker en voldoende, maar de dame die ons in de ontbijtzaal bediende, was zeer onvriendelijk; alsof ze erg tegen haar zin er werkte (zuchten en de borden voor ons ploffen zonder iets te zeggen).
