Staff were extremely helpful and quick to reply when contacted through the app. My one issue would be that the property is marketed as apartments when in reality a lot of their rooms are just hotel style rooms. You pay a premium for an apartment but then are unable to cook food in your unit."

The highlight has to be the wonderful views of the Remarkables —waking up to that scenery was a treat, especially with such easy access to the nearby tramping trails.
