Thank youOur housekeeping team work very hard to provide clean and immaculate rooms. It's a shame this was not mentioned as you had a spa unit, which is actually very nice with great views. Yes the water is on a rings main. In this climate and being a kiwi owned business we take pride in what we have to offer.

Very friendly staff and spacious rooms, it's bit noisy at times but can’t expect to much quiet. Pool is convient especially with kids. Overall it’s a beautiful property
