The staff were lovely we felt so sorry for the lovely lady on reception desk as she had very rude and ungrateful French people just before us arriving which had really caused her anxiety and upset. If you are come to visit NZ just relax and let the wonderful people of NZ look after you Don’t stress this is a place to share a smile and relax
