"Wow! An amazing experience at a beautiful property, with outstanding service. We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our travels in NZ, and this was truly the highlight of our trip. The setting is stunning, the food is outstanding, and the room is beautiful. But the staff are what make the place really special. Over the years, we have stayed in excellent hotels around the world, and this one ranks among the best. Exclusive, exquisite, and refined. Highly recommended."

"The location was close enough to the shops restaurants and bars but far enough away to be quiet. The rooms was very nice but when the rooms were serviced all that seemed to be done was the beds made and dirty towels replaced."
