"Beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere"

9.0

View was amazing. Room was big and spacious. Bed was great. Breakfast was also lovely. Staff were very helpful. Loved the retro feel of the dining room and other common spaces.

The road down to the hotel was a bit difficult as two cars cannot pass each other so you have to veer off the road.

"Fantastic place"

9.0

The place is quite in the middle of nowhere, but once you find it that's great stuff! Superb view over Auckland, huge room, excellent breakfast and restaurant. We didn't manage to use the SPA, but we were amazed anywa also by the very good service.

No complaints.

"Outdated, rundown with unaccommodating staff"

2.0

Had nice views

Drive was single lane for about 400m with no safety barrier to sheer drops on either side, with passing points every 80m or so with two way traffic. Hotel room had cobwebs and smelt of damp, and there were window doors through to the bathroom that did not close properly (so good luck going to the toilet in privacy). The room also had an outdated fridge which was very loud. The spiders webs were an extra big issue as wife is arachnophobic. When we complained to the front desk to how unclean the room was we were told not much they can do, and we could pay to upgrade our room instead. So we asked if we could reduce our stay to one night instead. We were told that isn't possible, and the only way they could refund us if someone else rented the room, and they'd charge us booking.coms commission (?????). So I said I'd cancel it through booking.com, as I would only be charged for the first night. They said that would could as cancelling the entire booking and I wouldn't be able to stay for the night. Despite being charged the night rate for the room. This was for our honeymoon, and they were completely willing to help us out in any way. Even after I offered to pay the commission to just stay the one night too. After a back and forth for a while and getting no where. We decided we'd rather pay the day rate to NOT stay there.

"Absolut empfehlenswert wenn man etwas Ruhe vom Alltag braucht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Abends"

Der Ausblick ist atemberaubend

Das es nicht transparent dargelegt war, dass man sich das Frühstück wie z.B. Rührei mit oder ohne was dazu, extra bestellen muss.

"cozy & comfortable"

7.0

While the restaurant was closing at 7.30pm which I found to be absurdly early, the food was excellent

Bathroom fan could do with a clean, property not well suited for vehicle of height or with roof racks. WIFI password was a mission to find hidden on the bottom of the page 17.
