Have stayed here a few years back and it was great but wouldn’t stay here again primarily because the service was so disappointing. Their website says they “offer luxury, indulgence and exemplary hospitality to match” so I booked a “5-star luxury apartment” with “daily servicing” included. None of this is true. The key reason we were so disappointed was because when we checked in for our week long stay, we were told after we paid almost $3000 that they wouldn’t be able to service our room “due to COVID”. It’s worth noting that at this point in time there was ONE community case of COVID in the entire South Island! Two days in, we asked for more towels and toilet paper (both included in the price according to the compendium). We were made to feel like we were inconveniencing them and we got given towels and ONE roll of toilet paper. We didn’t bother asking again, just bought our own toilet paper and washed the towels. We received an email a few weeks before our stay saying we had to be fully vaccinated to stay, and I’m not sure why they didn’t say in that email about servicing. To be told after we had paid, felt very deliberate. We were not offered any discount for no servicing, even though this was clearly going to save them money! The wifi was also poor, dropping out constantly and we had to use our own data in the end. The room itself was nice but more 3.5 stars than 5 stars. It was comfortable and spacious, but tired. There were many other things I could details here but I think I’ve probably said enough! The managers are trying to sell their management rights so I suspect this is why the service has slipped so badly. Hopefully new managers come along soon and rejuvenate the place back to what it used to be.
