Lodges in South Island

'The stay in the stables is poor, even for a low-budget version of the castle. The rooms are very noisy, not only noises from the guests next door (even if they do it quietly) but also from the noisy staff who start preparing breakfast at just after 6:00 am. Lots of loud talking and the radio on.

'Pulling up to this estate feels like you are in a movie! The building and rooms are so gorgeous and well maintained, we felt like royalty! Especially the breakfast, it was incredible and the best included breakfast of any hotel I have been to! '

'Personeel we heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam en de kamer had een mooi eigen thema. '

' Friendly staff'

'Nice staff: Alex was very friendly and enthousiast. Nice pool table. Big room. Nice terrace. Nice walkway through the wood to town. The building was very outdated. Dark furniture. The bathroom needs a renovation. Shower without a wall around it and drain doesn’t pass the water quickly so the whole bathroom was full with water (almost 1 cm high) which was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was not nice. Clinical atmosphere and nothing special. The second day we went for breakfast to another place.'

'Kamers waren erg mooi, personeel was zeer behulpzaam en aardig. Restaurant was goed. Alle voorzieningen waren goed geregeld'

'Great stay except the upstairs floors creak depending on how active guests are late at night and early morning'
