We stayed here for one night on our road trip. Although we loved the hotel, location and room, the parking charges of $59 a night seemed very excessive. This is Valet Parking only. Yes, you do have the option to park on the local roads, but as this is only free between 5pm and 9am, you would need to pop out early and pay if checking out later as we were. We opted to pay the charge for convenience. After travelling around New Zealand for a month, this was the only place we paid for parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful and they have a free milk machine in the lobby. We looked at the restaurant for breakfast, but thought the choice was limited, we found a very nice breakfast a few doors up. If we returned we would probably stay elsewhere due to the parking charge.
