The suite was wonderful—very spacious; lovely rain shower; staff was friendly, courteous and helpful with restaurant recommendations and sites to explore. Food at the hotel restaurant was great—we had a fabulous lamb dinner one evening—it was the best meal we had while visiting Australia and NZ. Go to the restaurant—you won’t be disappointed.
