Top Putaruru Hotel Reviews

Penmarric House - Self Check-in

8/10 Good

"Location for the weekend was awesome ideal accommodation for what I required for the evening very happy thank you"

Kelly Rd Cambridge Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Overall the Lodge was very good with staff very helpful and supportive. The room was spacious and clean. One thing the management needs to aware that the washer and dryers were not working well. The laundry facility should be a good and convenience for the guests and should be a big credit to the lodge, but if the washers and dryers are not working well, it will become a big damage to the overall impression of the guests staying in the lodge. I used the washer and both dryers during my stay, and the clothes were not dry enough (the spinner not working well), and I needed to use both (two) dryers to dry the wet clothers, and I need to keep on drying the clothes again and again (total 4 times of each dryer). Very expensive and time consuming. I hope the management of the lodge need to fix it ASAP to avoid the frustration and complaints of the future guests. But overall very good stay with the lodge."
