our small group had loved staying at the convent hotel. the rooms had personal touches and the public areas - hotel bar, hallways, stairways had an eclectic mix of artwork. comfortable beds. great amenities. and an awesome "chef's selection" group dinner at their onsite restaurant - ada, which was a memorable highlight for most of us during our 12 day visit in new zealand. will love to return one day!
