I was in the Superior Room which their internal brochure describes as their "standard" room. The bedroom was nice and the bed was comfortable, although the dresser bureau had some sticky residue on it. The trouble was that my bathroom was split between the ground (shower/bathtub with a sink) and first (toilet and a borderline unusable sink), so I had to go up the stairs to use the toilet and then, because the sink tap had no space between the water and the bowl (see pictures), I would go down the stairs and down the hall to use the other sink. I've stayed in accommodation where the toilet was separate from the shower before, but never where it was on another level. Frustratingly, I was told my room was the only room with this split bathroom facility - but I was also told there were 2 Superior "Iwi Katea" rooms, so it's not clear which you'll get from the listing. When I asked if I could move rooms, because I was there 3 nights, I was told no, even though they weren't fully booked all the nights I was there.
Folks might also want to know that the McSkimmings Suite's bathroom is on the first floor as well, but all beddrooms and the other bathrooms seemed to be on the ground floor.
The outside grounds and gardens are really nice, and the breakfast was nice.
