Grace Plains Holidays from NZ$1,311

The room was great for the three nights we needed. If I had to pick up things to improve on I would only say: The bathroom could have been a little cleaner 8/10 - as tiles around the bathroom could have been wiped better. For what we needed, a short break to visit family and with free parking - it was great. The car park was full bar 2 spots on the Friday night, so that could be painful if you pulled in later. I also thought the room could have a couple of bowls- incase you wanted cereal or noodles in your room- and there was only one spoon. The staff were really attentive and the restaurant attached to reception was great. Wine and pasta $30 on a Thursday night. We would stay again next time as the location was super handy and didn’t feel like you were in the city. Nice park across the road which held a wedding ceremony on the weekend. It was a good vibe and close to grandparent in thebarton so we love these aspects and it suited us really well.

Luxury attention to detail

The breakfast was very disappointing. Most of the hot buffet was dried out and not fresh looking. Little choices of bread selection or if they had choices, nothing was replenished. Also we were woken up early at about 0800hrs with an alarm sounding, it sounded like a fire door alarm and it was so annoying.

This is beautiful old style property is great history. The food is exceptional and the staff are friendliest you will find. They all seem to take great pride work at this special place. We spent two night had high tea, a massage at the spa and some really delicious food as well as the house tour. Everything was so well done with such caring people.

Average view from our balcony as we were at the side. Looked like permanent residents in other buildings. Shower pressure was not very high. Room was smaller than looked on website and we were upgraded!! No high definition tv, so won't get any channel 7 etc. Need new pillows, so soft and flat. There is a great Thai restaurant downstairs in hotel ,beautiful meals and you get 10% off for staying at hotel. The Lady we had at the reception was very welcoming, greeted us beautifully and was very helpful. So was a couple of nice thing's, but room was very very average.
