"We stay’d here for 4 nights as our flight was cancelled. We practically lived in room 506 for those days and nights. The beds and pillows are soooooo comfortable, after being awake for 27 hours it was just lovely to sink into that bed.
The staff are awesome the facilities are very good and cleanliness very good.
Highly recommended "
"The Kamana Lakehouse is exceptional. We felt very well taken care of our whole stay. The front desk staff was extremely accomodating, holding our bags before check in and taking them to our room and booking a taxi for an excursion. The servers and bar staff we're great as well. The food was the best we had on our entire trip to NZ. The included breakfast in the morning is completely worth it!
It's easy to get to the wharf via Uber or the bus. You can also walk to the Sunshine Bay Track nearby for an easy hike. There is a restaurant and convenience store across the street as well.
There is construction going on nearby, I was worried this would be more disruptive but it wasn't too bad. It was active (and loud) during the day. It did affect the experience in the soaking tub, so if you can, book after 6pm when the construction is done for the day."
"Lovely, clean and reasonably new complex to stay at. Has modern furnishing and decor. We probably didn’t appreciate how far out or tucked away in Frankton it actually was. It was disappointing there wasn’t a cafe/ restaurant on site and what was there was a nespressso machine and packet food. It was a fine place to stay for one night but expensive for location and amenities. "
