Francis Creek accommodation from NZ$140

Everything was great. Stuff was very friendly

Nothing says "Welcome" like dead plants, peeling faux leather, and wall wraps falling off a filthy elevator. Toilet seat falling off must have been missed by the cleaning staff. No charging ports for smart devices, and beds hard as a rock, and well worn on one side! Other than that, will find somewhere else next visit, perhaps a 2 or 3 star hotel.

We stayed in May 2026. The room is nothing fancy but was adequate for our stay. Rooms are mostly in original condition and are kept clean. As any hotel on the older side, they come with older hotel smells, not unique to this hotel. The rate matched what we were expecting. The lobby still has great charm. The location and views are awesome. We had dinner and breakfast. Both evening staff and morning staff were attentive and hard working. We had the perch for dinner with baked potato and apple custard cheese cake for dinner - all were delicious and served promptly. We had the included pancakes and eggs for breakfast, and they are really good fresh portions. We used the hot tub (temp was as it should be) and the pool which was enjoyable. We did not use the pool bathrooms as they were pretty dark and dated. The outside was beautiful. Only real issue was that the back door, close to our room was left unlocked all night so anyone without a key can access the place at anytime. We never felt unsafe, but it should be standard to keep anyone not staying on the property out. We would stay again when we come back to the area. Cheers.
