Large elongated space, windows that allowed fresh air. Rooms were very clean, beds well made. Showers very strong. Staff at counter was prompt - everything went relatively smoothly and we found accommodation quickly.

Hamilton New Zealand LDS Temple

The experience of wandering through a maze of hedges that open into perfectly cultivated gardens plucked complete from other countries and other eras was quite possibly the closest I will ever come to feeling like Alice in Wonderland come to life. You never know what magical sight waits around the next bend in the path.
