    Unable to pass comment. Everything was exceptional.

    Exceptional location, immaculately clean, room service everyday (wasn't expecting that), really friendly and helpful staff and the bed was so comfortable it was hard to get up! To top it all, the view from my cottage was a picture postcard of the snowcapped mountain range.

    No bread knife to slice the locally baked bread.

    Originally booked the 10 cottages but moved into the hotel/apartment for the extra cooking facilities of a hot plate. Both cabins and apartments have recently been refurbished and are very comfortable with new carpets and new bathrooms. All have heated towel rails and the hotel apartments have heated floors. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommend going to the glacier region in the winter and staying with the lovely people at The Terrace/10 cottages. Bonus is the walk to the Gallery Gorge is just up the road from the hotel.

    -I found the bed comfortable, but my partner felt like it was making him slide off the bed. -The bowls are tiny & not suitable to use for a breakfast bowl.

    Great location. Amazing views. -The light from the street light shines right into the room. In saying that the curtains a very good block out curtains. - good size coffee mugs. Most places we stay they are too small, but these were a good size.

    I didn’t get a cabin with a parking spot outside it and got soaked in the rain. Not major, just an annoyance. No air conditioning or spilt cycle, very humid inside.

    Loved the cabin surrounded by ferns. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Easy walking distance to the start of walks, shops, activities like the heliport and restaurants.
