Di New Zealand

nice room comfy bed. Very hard to see in the fridge cubby hole as there was no lighting. Would be good to have a couple of small plates, knife etc so you can have crackers and cheese for example with wine in your room.

Breakfast was excellent, staff were very accommodating, location great. Nespresso machine in the room was a nice touch but no instructions, so needed to Google them, great flavour but not overly hot. The shower pressure was disappointing.
