pleasant short stay
spacious roomeasy checkmicrowave absence
i found my room spacious and very clean it had a bath with a shower and a separate toilet. the location proved great as it was only a 90 minute drive to milford sound covering about 100 km. i appreciated the easy check in process also.
i noticed the absence of a microwave which was a bit inconvenient . this could be a helpful addition wanting to heat up snacks or leftovers in their rooms. i think it would enhance the overall convenience.

the room was quite spacious. also, it was cleaned well. i appreciated that the location was close to the lake.
the bedding cloth looked worn-out. it had a yellowish tint, so it looked old. also, there was only a bottom sheet on the bed. no mattress protector was present either.
