Members of my family stayed at Robin's Nest, where my daughter's wedding was held. Looking at the website from New Zealand, we thought we would be in for a real treat. The staff made the marquee look charming for the wedding, and Jessica was very accommodating with allowing members of the bridal party into the kitchen to prepare food.
We were disturbed however at the presence of so many cats on the property, not to mention in the kitchen itself - a mother cat and four kittens no less! Surely this would not meet food regulations, and our breakfast was being prepared from here each day. Also one cat had vomited on the deck where part of the wedding took place, and we ahd to ask for it to be cleaned up. Yuk!
The other big disappointment was that the bride (who is vegan and who had provided recipes and ingredients to kitchen staff), did not get to eat breakfast with the rest of us either of the days we were there as the food for her was not ready at the same time. This was not good enough.
Overall the rooms which looked great on the website did not meet our expectations with some aspects of them being rather tired and shabby.
