Rangitaiki Holidays from NZ$1,068

Exceptional. We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Country Villa Estate. Danny and Mabel were fabulous hosts from the moment we arrived. We were met with a warm welcome before being shown to our very comfortable room which was beautifully decorated and with everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was superb with different options each day. Mabel is a true artist with her delicious breakfast offerings. Beautiful gardens, comfortable spaces to relax, a truly unique experience.

We had a lovely stay at Hana Lodge. Such a beautiful spot and lovely grounds to explore. The rooms are clean, beautifully presented and well thought out. The staff were amazing. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

Super lovely hotel, excellent stay and very comfortable beds! You won’t regret staying here. It is so charming. The restaurant had amazing food and fine dining

The location is excellent but that is where it ends. I have no idea why everyone is giving it the 4 or 5 stars. Please people tell the truth. The rooms are mediocre at best and very dated. The shower robes basically told the full story. They were fraying to bits. The bed was uncomfortable to sleep in as the mattress seemed very tired as you sunk right into it and the electric heaters gave such a dry heat we had to turn them all off. Freezing was a more comfortable option. The breakfast, was totally unacceptable. A few items thrown together. Full cream (full fat) milk the only choice of milk. Requested semi or skimmed only to be told the full cream is the best, the others are watered down versions!!some bread, bacon, scrambled eggs, yoghurt that was poured onto a plate already - that was breakfast! Couldn't have any eggs made to order at all. They offer a sauna & hottub at the bottom end of the garden. To access both you need to walk across a mud trodden path, through a dark garage. The sauna had to be turned on 30 minutes before you could utilise it. But no instructions given on how to utilise either! Finally, we were given a room at the top. But there were stairs going to another room further up. Considering you have to carry your own luggage, wedding feel sorry for the poor sod who got allocated the upstairs. He said he nearly broke his back taking his suitcases upstairs!

Nice staff and good amenities
