Personeel was vriendelijk. Het hotel is fraai gelegen aan het meer maar daar hebben wij weinig van gezien aangezien onze kamer aan de achterzijde was. Een klein koelkastje en een waterkoker met thee en koffie. Echter géén decafé. De kamer was schoon.

Het beloofde uitzicht op een prachtige tuin viel zwaar tegen aangezien er pal voor ons raam een hele dikke boom stond. Dus géén uitzicht. Wij voelden ons hierdoor opgesloten. De faciliteiten op de kamer waren matig. Géén magnetron die je in bijna ieder hotel in NZ wel hebt. De bedden waren slecht. Geen toplaag waardoor je de veren in het springboxmatras duidelijk voelde. Hierdoor slecht geslapen. De prijs van de kamer was belachelijk hoog voor wat je ervoor krijgt. Het is niet meer dan een kwart van de prijs waard.

Location was good

To call it a Villa is over selling it. It's an independent room. It needs to be updated as it's like being back in the 90's. The bed is small for 2 regular size adults. Plus be sure to keep the blinds down as anyone walking by can see everything inside through the many windows.

Very nice hotel in an excellent location. Try to get a lakeside view room if you can. The rooms are a good size, and well appointed and clean. Food is good and staff are friendly.
