My family and I stayed here for two days and found our experience quite enjoyable. The staff were amazing and accommodated to our needs which I appreciated. We stayed in 3 rooms as my whanau is big in numbers and we liked how close and convenient we were to each other.

Property was clean, staff were friendly and accommodating. The only issue we had was that the bathroom had peeling wallpaper/paint and was very mouldy above head level

Nice and convenient and quiet. Price good. Spa bath with shower attached not friendly for elderly or people that have difficulty in climbing in and out of bath. Shower taps were hidden under bath towel. Took a awhile to find them. Bed was comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice room for one. Bed comfortable . Good tea bags , milk provided, and biscuit. Bathroom had shower over spa bath so could be difficult for older people. Plenty of soap, hair shampoo etc. There was a swimming pool which I didn’t use but others were. Plenty of parking.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely adored the friendly staff, the pool was Devine on the very hot days! and the wind down in the spa with a glass of bubbles to end the day truely amazing. However, an aircon wouldn’t go a miss in the rooms, as nights were extremely hot and although there was a roof fan (in the room of our first night) and a floor fan (on our second night, different room) it didn’t make much difference. We had too keep the door wide open to let some breeze in and cool the room down. Buuuuuut Definitely will return here, purely for the pool, and the spa ☺️ Ngā Mihi!

I don’t understand the 8.8 “excellent” rating on Hotels.com — it doesn’t reflect the actual experience. The property was clean, but overall quite rundown and clearly in need of maintenance. The fridge froze food, while the cooker burned it even on the lowest setting. Sleep was also disrupted by very bright exterior lighting, and curtains that didn’t properly block it out. I travel frequently for business, and properties with an “excellent” rating are usually of a much higher standard than this. It wasn’t a terrible stay and the price was fair — but it did not meet expectations based on the rating.
