The property overall was very good for our purposes of somewhere warm, clean and tidy to stay. One thing I would change was the shampoo which seemed more like detergent rather than shampoo and caused my hair to go frizzy.

Even though we had a spa bath, it was very basic. Could only just open door into bathroom. The higher level kitchen cabinets were too close to door and too low so nearly knocked them several times. The fridge didn’t work properly/ only slightly cooler than room temperature.

Heat Issues in Outdated, Uncomfortable Hotel

Old, outdated, although the bathroom had been updated, the room was not. The bed was horribly uncomfortable. Room has a heating problem, there is a heater that can not keep up with cold whipping through the walls and windows. The toilet seat was very frigid with no heat at all in the bathroom. Tile was also very cold on your feet. Kitchenette was good. Overall, this hotel needs upgrades and since I feel heat and comfort are the most important things in a hotel, I struggled to give them even 2 stars!

Chose this property as it was close to the kaikoura whale tours and had a nice set up for a four person family. Bonus: our bathroom had a Jacuzzi tub.
