New ZealandIt was a wonderful stay to relax and take weight off my shoulder. I got the Steampunk room as I'm a fan of Steampunk. I had a chance to see other rooms, they all were a good size and the bunks looked bigger and sturdy made so adults can use them safely. The space was good so we were able to use lounge, sunroom and outside to chill out without annoying each other. I enjoyed the rhubarb straight out of their garden as I made a dessert with it.
