Beautiful views and unique old style. We loved the pool and grounds staff friendly and helpful. We didn't like the strong food smells in the room. A scented candle or an essential oil diffuser would have been lovely. There was a lovely large candle in the fire place but no matches.

A great pub with beautiful views of Lyttleton Habour and Quail Island. It was lovely dining on the deck with delicious food and friendly staff. The evening meal was also good with a cheerful Friday night crowd.

For the price I paid I thought the room could have been a lot better. I didn't like there was mo private bathroom in the room. Having a communial shower in the hallway to me isn't very hygienic as u don't no what hidden bugs people have got. Aside from that the atmosphere was nice and I enjoyed the pool.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I loved the room-the high ceiling and shutters on the door to the balcony. The white made it fresh looking and bright. The whole place was so dog friendly even into the restaurant area. The views were awesome and I couldn’t have been more happy with my stay. The provided breakfast was delicious-homemade muesli, crusty bread to toast and slather with butter and marmalade! Plunger coffee to finish off with. Highly recommend this great place!
