Well, it starts with the view of the lake, and the inviting outdoor places to sit...and the interior amenities have been carefully and sympathetically planned for the comfort of travelers on the road...individual lighting for reading in bed, comfy lounge chairs, easy parking near the room, short distance to restaurants and shops. It was lovely to have 2 nights there, on each side of the boat trip to Doubtful Sound. Thanks for the hospitality.

We got a free upgrade from a standard trip room to a kitchen cabin. Overall the kitchen cabin had a few dead flies and bees near the window. Might have froze to death in the cold. Other than that, the area was clean. Nothing much about the views because it was rainy and gloomy when we arrived. Everything was in order, check in and check out was ok too. We were able to leave our luggage at the counter before check in too which was great.
