"Let’s start with the positive, the view to the lake and mountain was spectacular. Room was spacious and were able to make our meals in the room. Though situated on the main road, couldn’t hear the cars. Could update shower head. Fix the dripping toilet. The constant slamming noise of the fire doors at all hours was frustrating. Don’t think it’s suitable for families with young kids. No outdoor activities at the property. The carpark at the top, by the hedge needs a barrier against the front...

"The room we had was nice and furnished well. They charge per person in the room and our 3 year old is considered an adult. There is a shuttle service to town which is nice. It fills up fast so book ahead. A brewery is close by and on a scenic river. The NZ police decided to setup a check point on the road out front just past the park. We turned in to the park and an officer walked over to our room from the road. He said we should have continued up to their checkpoint eventhough it was...

"New property and overall quite nice. Issues: no small lamps in room, so there are multiple ceiling lights that glare on you, and don’t provide individual lighting for sleep/reading. Soap in shower is combo shampoo and body soap , but not clearly labeled. Also, bathroom is super small so only one person has room. Very weird, since the full room overall is large enough for two. Finally NO chairs in the room! Sit on the bed to relax I guess…."

"Lovely hotel and nice spacious room, comfy beds and great amenities. Really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely stay here longer when back this way. Loved the pool area and hot tub. If you have a car, there is a charge of 15 NZ dollars a night for the car park. Not necessarily a negative but there is nowhere else nearby to park your car so it’s just something to factor in. "

"Friendly welcome from reception staff. Very helpful. Room was good size and had everything that you required. Exceptional view. Restaurant was fully booked so recommend that you book in advance. However we were accommodated in the bar lounge. Good choice of wine and bar snacks that sufficed as an evening meal. Comfortable bed. Rainfall shower with lovely toiletries. Again book the hot soak tubs in advance. Restaurant for breakfast was delicious and again great service. "

"This is primarily a young persons hang out. Lots of young adults that stay out late and party (off premises). We had a problem the first night with noise but the staff was amazing and upgraded us to a larger and quieter room. We are very grateful and after the first night, we had an amazing time. "
