The spa room is good but a little dated since I went last and the level of food is really bad compared to my precovid stay. Don’t get the steak. The breakfast is simple wish the quality was better. For the price you pay there should be good food options onsite. Stayed during a public holiday and there was no offer for food during the day sadly so had to venture into town which has good food. Will stay again for the spa room only very disappointed by the food which they ended up taking off our bill as we were dissatisfied which was a good thing. The staff are very nice and accommodating.

Our room and views were incredible, loved having our own spa onlooking the mountains. However the hospitality of the staff was a little lacking for 5 star accomodation and the restaurant seemed fitting for 10 years ago, but not nearly up to todays standards.
