Hot tub was nice
Riya, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here for the last 4 nights. The owners are lovely and accomodating. Lots of privacy and the spa was enjoyable! The room was spotless on arrival and the cleaners were respectful when approaching our room for a service. Everything was super clean, the only thing we noticed was the spa area had a smell to it. Outside only Other than that, thank you for having us! We’ll definitely be back.
Cypriss, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in a 3 bedroom room and the view, staff and room were all amazing. Cheap price for short notice. Beds were super comfortable. Owners are lovely!
craig, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

You'd be hard pressed finding another property with better value for money. The property itself is even better than the pictures, you're located right across the road from the beautiful lake with views of Mt Ruapehu, all amenities are easily accessible, the rooms are spacious, peaceful, clean and in excellent condition. We were lucky enough to have a room with a spa - perfect way to unwind and warm up. Best of all is the service - the two owners are the nicest, most thoughtful people. Prior to checking in they called to see when I'd arrive so they could preheat the room before I got there; the home baked shortbread was also a lovely added bonus!
Early morning view of the lake
