10/10 Excellent
"Everything was amazing from walking into reception to be greeted by Sophie who gave us a tour of the building and showed us our room. She was super welcoming and helpful. The views from the restaurant on Mt Hutt were mind blowing. Dinner was next level and full continental and/or English breakfast. Will definitely be back!!"
