Love the stay here. Pity our stay was unexpectedly cut short by one night due to our flight cancellation. Poppy was accessible throughout online to ensure our smooth check in and making our stay as comfortable as possible. Her warmth truly made a difference in settling us down from the very first night in NZ!
