Room was immaculate, lots of complimentary toiletries, lovely fluffy towels including huge bath sheets; both beds had 4 pillows and nice light duvet for time of year; good supply of multiple blends of tea and coffee; plenty wardrobe and drawer space; ate at restaurant last night, meal very nice and reasonably priced. Due to mobility issues, on booking l asked for a ground floor room with a walk in shower and this request was fulfilled. Thank you for a wonderful stay during our visit to Queenstown, New Zealand.

Staff go above and beyond to help the guests, extremely impressed by the extra efforts that staff went to when an elderly couple in the restaurant needed assistance, big shout out to Nancy (hope I got her name right) with helping this couple out, and while doing so she didn't miss a beat with attending to the rest of the guests. Highly recommend the restaurant.
