Ravenscar accommodation from NZ$88

Had a nice stay, room was nice and roomy. Staff were enthusiastic. Didn't use the WiFi as it wasn't strong for security. Had nice views of the sea. Ate in the restaurant in the evening. It was really good food. Had the cod loin which was really tasty and very fresh. Would recommend a visit here.

Faded grandeur. Beautiful entrance and lobby and public areas. Rooms very dated and basic. Mould in shower, small room, poor and limited dated furniture. Nice staff. Probably value for what I paid. Only great issue… noise from plumbing. If rooms use their radiators and turn them up knocking sound reverberates around rooms, disturbing sleep. Mentioned to reception, not really interested. A lovely faded gem, and a place I’ve wanted to stay in for a while. So enjoyed experiencing a journey back to perhaps a different time. Did note however check in chaos when it was busy… queue round the lobby at one point, so best advice check in handy otherwise you are in for a long wait.

Lovely hotel, it was very quiet, given it was March but a 25 minute wait for someone to come and serve in the bar seemed excessive- just didn’t seem to have staff about the place. Beach view was great and room very big. Great location if you can find a spot to park your car.
