Lovely location. Room was lovely. Dinner and breakfast were really good. We were prepared for the shared bathroom, but those facilities could have been better laid out, and a little cleaner. Also nowhere to hang your dressing gown or towel in the shower room

We started our NZ vacation here after landing in Christchurch and it was the perfect start. The pub served wonderful appetizers and desserts. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the bay--great for settling in and relaxation. The pool was cooler than I hoped. Breakfast is self-serve with limited but thoughtful options. Sharing facilities wasn't a problem, but there weren't many other guests during our stay. Staff was warmly welcoming and very accommodating.
