Disappointing - poor value

Disappointing. Its a lovely homestead and the apartments are good. However, it is advertised as a resort and falls short of my expectations of a resort. The description was misleading as there were no dining facilities available including no breakfast. The only resort type item was the price. Had that been adjusted for the reduced service/facilities then I would have been satisfied with my stay. I would like to visit when the "resort" is in full swing.

Room was basic but fine. Owner / front desk friendly. Waitress for dinner was friendly and helpful. Food was average and shared areas lacking in any atmosphere and a strong smell of paint. Appreciated the shared guest laundry. Overall was ok for a night on our journey but I would not have stayed for longer. Note this is next door to penguin tour but had to drive back into town to catch shuttle bus so not really a benefit being close by.
