Lovely hotel by a lake
A wonderful hotel room. Very spacious with good facilities and on the ground floor (there’s no lift). The onsite restaurant is good, which is essential as the hotel is 7km from the nearest town (Cromwell). The lake makes a nice backdrop and a good place to walk.

Was Ok. Probably would not stay again
Was ok. For the price. Expected better. Lots of noise all through night from people above us. Barely any milk for coffee. Was not topped up day 2. Wifi average in our room.

Party hotel obviously
Paid through the roof for this accommodation only to have a party downstairs and no answer from reception at 10pm so had to ask the occupants to turn the music down ourselves. Given we were there for business there was little consideration from the staff for guests varied reasons and right to peace.
