Beautiful historic hotel. Very clean excellent staff. Great music in Ruapehu Lounge. Food in lounge left something to be desired which manager replaced promptly and courteously. Everything fine except the meat. Not the chef but as it turned out the product. Overall a wonderful experience.

Beautiful hotel and an awesome setting. Staff were great but we were there late in the day and they appeared reluctant to offer the full late service menu. I wanted a salad and was warned against it. That said, I did appreciate the honesty so I enjoyed alternative meal I chose. The breakfast buffet was lovely

Lovely old world charm in the lounge and restaurants. The chalet we stayed in could have done with and upgrade.
