"Still a work in progress"

7.0

Stunning location, cheery reception staff. Comfy bed.

Rooms at the back give no hint of the view. Some weird design choices feel poorly thought through. Double height windows are only curtailed to half way up, leaving light flooding in in mornings. Wet room style bathroom means every surface gets soaked and there is no fan. Food was good but felt expensive. Hotel markets itself as luxury but it doesn't feel it quite hits that mark. It feels like a motel trying to transform itself but it's still a work in progress

"Schöne Lage und wunderbarer Ausblick"

8.0

Sehr schöne Lage und wunderbarer Ausblick, perfekter Freisitz am Restaurant, einfach zum Genießen.

Das Frühstück war im Vergleich zu den anderen hotels in Neuseeland und zu den Sternen des Hauses nicht so gut. Kaffee macht man sich selbst mit heißem Wasser und Instant Kaffeepulver, der Raum zum Frühstück wirkt etwas lieblos, das Besteck war alle und wurde erst auf Nachfrage nachgefüllt, kein Aufschnitt, in Summe eigentlich schade, weil das Hotel wirklich gut gelegen ist. Aber der Aufpreis von gut 17 Euro zur Übernachtung ist meiner Meinung nach in einem nahegelegenen Diner besser angelegt.

What an amazing stay! We were upgraded to the villa, which was an amazing surprise and I’m very grateful for! The private spa, incredible bathroom and cosy bed were divine. Staff were also amazing and very friendly!

Nothing - it was perfect
