Hotels in de buurt van Yellow-Eyed Penguin Conservation Reserve (Harington Point)

"The stay in the stables is poor, even for a low-budget version of the castle. The rooms are very noisy, not only noises from the guests next door (even if they do it quietly) but also from the noisy staff who start preparing breakfast at just after 6:00 am. Lots of loud talking and the radio on. The breakfast itself is good, but the breakfast location (the stable) is cold, (coincidentally?) the heating is partly defective, especially when the stable doors open on both sides because guests also enter from another part to have breakfast in the stable. The showers are extremely old-fashioned and below any current standard of comfort. No decent space to hang your clothes and get dressed, which is desirable because the shower cabin is located in the public corridor with the other rooms. In addition, the shower cabin has to be shared by several hotel guests, just like the toilets: 4 for 6 rooms. Each one is too small and too limited to properly make a toilet there. Moreover, there was a cockroach walking around. The staff does their best but is partly inexperienced. In short, staying in the rooms and the stable is not worth the money and certainly does not offer the experience that the castle hotel pretends. Not recommended! "
