"This property suited our needs perfectly for a brief stopover travelling with our dog. The check in was friendly. The chalet spacious & clean & had been thoughtfully warmed for our early evening arrival on a cold, wet day. The property offers excellent value & simple in room amenities. It is a bit worn & dated but with a very comfortable bed, refurbished bathroom & cosy heatpump we were more than happy. We Would happily stay again!"

"Great family option just a short drive from the town centre, easy access to Huka Falls and Craters of the moon. The main pool is hot, approx 36 degrees so ideal for early morning and late evening dips rather then only during busy day time periods with family's Buffet is average but only charged per adult head so if traveling with multiple kids, value for money."

"The view from the room was spectacular. Walked along the shore right from our room. Room was clean had many useful amenities. The “heated pool” was ice cold. The jacuzzi as barely warm enough to get in. The staff at the check in desk were fantastic. The staff in the dining room were very condescending."
