Weekend stay

Brought friends over for the nz experience from Australia. The rooms were ok. Beds very comfy. Needs to have some sort of cooking facilities as no where near for food in mornings. They do a lovely meal for dinner.

Over rated

Accommodation was overpriced. Wet floor and smelt musty. Shower was hot but fluctuated and would be dangerous. Bed comfy.

This is the only real hotel on the island and has plenty of space for the thirsty. We had the steak special with mushroom sauce and fish and chips. The steak was cooked perfectly for my medium-rare taste. The beer battered fish was not as...More
