The location was fantastic! Room was wonderful. Only one issue, I a was travelling for work & required iron and ironing board! These weren’t in the room and I had to ask another guest to borrow them! Would have got a perfect score apart from that😞

Staff was wonderful, and a clean nice place to stay after landing in Christchurch after a very long flight. Walking distance to shops and restaurants made it also convenient and there was a place to park our campervan too which was awesome.

Once I worked out the key situation, I was in a warm, clean, spacious room with modern facilities that functioned well. Having now stayed at a few places around the park, this has by far been the best. Staff were responsive to emails through the night and helped with requests. Well done!
