Coffee, teas, and hot drinks are in the room as well as an iron and board should you need them. We didn't use the TV and the WiFi was very good. Our hosts offered a lovely breakfast with fresh fruit, hot drinks, cereals, toast, and homemade jams. Since we're vegan, we don't know the other breakfast options that are available. This place was a lovely discovery on the drive to Christchurch from the West Coast.
