It was easy to retrieve our tickets - just scan the barcode at the ticket office and the staff will run you through what you need to do before hopping on the boat . The cruise itself is very pleasant ride and spacious. For man's O war. Pack a picnic for the day and you can relax on the sand and enjoy the water . The winery itself is phenomenal the staff are friendly and the food is amazing.

The room is exactly as described in the photos. There were three adult occupants in the room. Stayed in the hotel for three nights from Dec 31 to Jan 3 and split the transactions to maximize the discount code. It's location is very centralized. two blocks away from St Patrick's Cathedral.

Great location, convenient for walking to the harbor or lively areas. The double room is comfortable, with a private bathroom, and a decent amount of space. The room is very clean. The front desk staff is courteous and offers temporary luggage storage. The kitchen utensils are not very complete, and some guests don't have the best habits when using the communal kitchen. Used dishes are often piled up in the sink without being washed immediately, which is a minor drawback.

We had a pleasant stay and really appreciated the space Breakfast: the variety was quite limited, adding more options and installing a coffee machine would greatly improve the experience.

Our driver and guide, David, was very happy when we met him. I learned a lit of things and trivias about New Zealand as well as Auckland. He was very nice. The time for the tour was enough. Our guide within the Hobbiton, Kingston, was so funny! he was very effective as a guide.
