Very good

It's a beautiful location, which our whānau have had a long association with. Glad to see the original proprietors are managing the property again and bringing back the charm, quality service and friendliness we always associated with this place. Looking forward to future visits.
We had a wonderful stay here - only small issue is that the accommodation was a bit dated - however everything else, including the restaurant and the service from the crew, was excellent.
