霍爾斯韋爾旅館 (Halswell Lodge)

* Reception was unmanned on our arrival and uncontactable on their given number. 2 families had been waiting for over 20 minutes, before the receptionist arrived claiming he had not received their phone calls, * There was an extra, unadvertised charge for parking. * Our room had not been cleaned by 2.30 pm, and smelled musty & unpleasant even after cleaning. * When the room had been cleaned, all forks, plates and bowls had been removed(!). We paid for 'run of the house'

前台是印度人，説話愛答不理的 定的是雙床房特別小和圖片完全不符，要圖片那種的又讓加了 60 紐幣！太可惡了 這***不就是騙人嗎？訂房網站你退我錢！！！

Don't stay with these guys. To be fair, I messed up and accidently booked them for the wrong night - but minutes after doing so I immediately contacted 訂房網站.com who established contact right away and tried to explain the situation. 訂房網站 called back a number of times and attempted to negotiate a solution but no cigar. They were pretty keen to take advantage of my mistake and keep the money anyway. Were they within in their rights? Sure. Is it a good faith or reasonable thing to do to a guy who could have been an appreciative life long guest? Nope. Are these the kind of people you want to do business with and what does it say about how they will treat you when you arrive? My advice: stay away.

再也不會住哪，服務很差，早上9點到下午二時過沒人在，你都無法入住, 給店住打電話態度還很差

Amazing location

this was the motel from hell. we arrived about 4pm and the access was via a steep narrow laneway. there was nobody there, the office was difficult to find and locked. we found a cleaner and he contacted and conversed with the "owner" via txt msg. he was able to find out our room and produced a couple of keys. we looked at the room in the back of an old house, access to through and off a communal kitchen. the room was extremely cold and damp, the bedding felt damp, the decor was depressing, there was a small electric heater, a TV that would not work (it was discovered that the Wifi did not work in that room and the owner admitted that it has never worked. the bathroom had been renovated albeit some time ago, and the toilet was situated so that your knees were hard against the vanity. The room had no ventilation at all, there were no smoke alarms, the room was situated such that in an emergency, vacating the room could be a hazard, and in the event of a fire in the kitchen area, no exit access. this brought to our mind a recent tragedy in a similar situation where there were 6 people who perished within 1 kilometer from this venue. we tried to find another venue to stay at as we were not happy with the whole situation, but there was nothing available at that time of day, as we were staying overnight to catch the interisland ferry early in the morning. the "motel" tried to charge us extra for overnight parking on site which was not disclosed in the booking. There was another couple who approached us who were just as disappointed, their TV screen was smashed and were moved to another room. they offered us another room, however it was up a long flight of stairs, impossible for my wife to get up due to mobility issues. The photo's of the venue show it to be a more than acceptable place to stay. TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY it is a dump and would advise anyone interested to rethink. 訂房網站 should remove this place from their accommodation offerings it is damaging to their reputation.

在紐西蘭住過許多的酒店中這間最差最不滿意！尤其是洗水間水龍頭漏水，花灑破損用膠帶貼住，床鋪下榻，隔音差，隔壁整晚在聽Hiphop 吵得睡不了！當時選擇不多才訂它，上當了！

The room was very nice. Bed was comfortable. Had a great stay. Was situated in a great location. Close to restaurants and supermarket. Would stay here again.

房間陳舊，雖然已經努力為我們提供最好的房型，除了位置其他的不推薦

Absolutely love how clean the room was. Would definitely recommend staying here
