Went for Sunday lunch smorgasbord, found to be below average. Service slack. Food below average. Lighting above table flickers all the time, seems all the lights were the same. Would avoid this place if I can

Stayed here for Two nights over the weekend. The accommodation here is what is rated, it's average. It's no Palace, but it's neither a brothel.Me and my friend arrived late, and we found our keys were plastered to the window. Which is fine, but could of easily been taken by passer buys if given the opportunity, We stayed in Room... More

The reception area was dark and seedy. Built like barrack blocks sandwiched between a big liquor store, a booze barn and a large dusty bus park at the back, not a bit of green in sight ('garden'?) The rooms have seen better days. . Everything was organised for the bus tours (if the bus tour people had finished their meal... More

Very basic accomodation... the whole complex is a little Adhoc.. a little musty and a little run down. Had to walk a long way to find the laundry... and it was a mess.... with only a childs ironing board and a pathetic cheap tiny iron. The Restaurant also closes at 8.15pm and its badly run.... and the food was very... More

After spending 30 min at the I-SITE looking for accomadation with a pool, we booked a night at the garden motel. Which was the worst pick ever... The only room left for 3 people, was a Standart triple motel unit. The room was smelly, dark, the windows on the back "kitchen" side were broken and locked. The Fridge smelt, and... More

We stayed a night both in December on the way down to Queenstown and a night in January on the way back home. The place is in the suburbs but we didn't care because we had a car and found a great price online at $95NZ for 3 adults in a studio room layout. The stuff were modern, a large... More

We wanted to stay in a suburb, as we are looking to move to NZ in the future. Shirley is apparently very popular with Brits. We had a two bedroom unit, with an extra bed in the lounge. The kitchen area had 2 hotplates and a microwave, along with fridge, kettle toaster. The lounge had sofa and table with chairs.... More
