Thurstonland accommodation from NZ$122

Decided to have dinner in the hotel restaurant, terrible mistake. The starter was gambas pil pil, spicy prawns. They were dry, no sauce whatsoever and tasted like they had been dipped in tomato sauce. The side salad with it was sad and limp and had no salad dressing. The main arrived, pork, should have been with a risotto, none available so had chips. Once again the salad was sad and limp with no salad dressing. The meal was inedible. The pork was totally overcooked and tasted like old boots. Eventually a waiter came to take away my plate, not to check on the meal. I explained it was inedible, he at least agreed the pork was ruined. Breakfast was not much better, I picked the cooked items from the hot plates. Bacon, it was dry, left in the hot plate too long, potato, tomatoes, which were burnt and the driest sausage it has even been my misfortune to have on my plate. I asked for a freshly fried egg, it was burnt around the edges and didn't look at all attractive. The cup of coffee I simply couldn't finish. You have serious problems in the kitchen.

I had a pleasant stay and staff were very friendly and helpful at reception

Excellent facilities great location
