A look at NZ's biggest hill
Disappointing we had to wait for the room to be cleaned as their check in time is an hour later than anywhere else we have stayed, otherwise staff were friendly and helpful. Looking for the entrance to our accommodation block we could not find it at we thought it was the laundry/housekeeping area will trolleys of laundry at the entrance and in the hallway to the room. Food was excellent, room was neat and tidy, overall it was a pleasant stay.
