Romantic and very idyllic, but with drawbacks *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

We had a 3-week trip in New Zealand for relaxation and had decided to stay at this hotel. The food and the rooms are good European 3-4 stars and it is also actually as described on the side of the hotel. However the information on the possibilities of activities and sports activities. They were either non-existent (except for snorkeling and kayaking, paddle was nothing!) or totally overpriced, for example river, rafting for around 220 euros per person the shuttle had not worked out and about 70 euro would otherwise have had to be paid extra. Overall so a three (mark), we would be for two weeks beach holiday there gefajren we would give it a four.
