I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel's rooms were fantastic - perfectly sized and beautifully decorated. The only downside was that the cooking smells seemed to find their way in. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were always ready to help and even had great local recommendations. The location was a serene retreat with a stunning view of Mt Wellington, making me feel like I was in Europe. Dining was a delight with delicious, homemade offerings. Overall, a wonderful experience.

The hotel offers beautiful rooms with amazing art, including a very high Austrian bed and comfy bedding, providing open views to the mountains. While the walls and doors are a bit thin, allowing for some noise, the overall experience is enjoyable. The service is top-notch with friendly and accommodating staff. The location, though a bit outside the CBD, is in a lovely residential neighborhood close to all essential amenities. The dining experience is delicious, especially with the use of fresh ingredients from the hotel's garden. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a great stay overall.
