New and clean hotel, very good room with nice soft bed. TV almost unfathomable, spent a long time trying to get anything - and I’m techie! Failed. Only one small negative, we had been looking forward to the wonderful Kaikoura sea view, but wer told that if we wanted that, it would be an additional $230 on top of what we had paid!! — for just one night.
