The only “bad” thing was the carpet in the bathroom; it has a moldy smell, probably because it gets wet and doesn’t quite air out. Other than that, wonderful ...

Room was clean and tidy. Sadly it was raining most of the time we were there and did not get the benefit of the view from the room. We did go to the bar for a nightcap which we thought was a little sad

Cities near Ross

Travelling by car gives you the most freedom. This is the case anywhere, but in New Zealand you definitely need a car to explore the most beautiful, remote landscapes.
