An old convention centre and sprawling hotel from a bygone era, buried in the back streets of Ashburton.
Everything quite dated but rooms were clean & spacious. Staff were great. Meals exceptional.
Good value for money if you don’t mind it being a bit old fashioned style

The staff were very welcoming kind and accomodating of our needs. We enjoyed the simplicity and cleanliness of the place! The only downside which was definitely not a major was the pool was a little green! Other than that it was awesome and we would stay again if we’re ever in the area :)

The hotel is now let down by the quality of the rooms. Hotel rooms are now tired and facilities such as showers over the bath belong to a bygone era. However food and staff were great.
