7.4/10 Good! (1,000 reviews)
It is a very grand hotel and we loved our big king room, overlooking the racecourse! We dinned in the restaurant, with the food being lovely! Fairly priced, good portions, and range of food on the menu! The hotel needs patronage - it is a diamond amongst many hotels to choose from. We will stay there again!

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.

An Unforgettable Stay at On The Point – Lake Rotorua We had such an amazing time at On The Point, even though our stay was far too short! From the moment we arrived, everything felt so personal and intimate, it truly felt like we were receiving one-on-one care. And the animals! ❤️ They were honestly one of the highlights of our entire stay. The miniature horses, donkeys, and sheep were absolutely lovely. I genuinely wanted to cry when we were leaving, and I missed them almost immediately! I could have happily stayed there just to spend my days with them. A very special shout-out to Nicky, who took such wonderful care of us. The breakfasts were delicious, and she made us the BEST coffee every morning. You can really tell how much she cares about her guests and making sure they feel at home. Also, a special thank you to "Sairy" (I really hope I spelled her name correctly or at least got close! 😊), who looked after us during our beautiful, intimate dinner. She made the evening feel even more special. The property itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking 360-degree views everywhere you look. Peaceful, beautiful, personal, and unforgettable. Come stay here, you will NOT regret it. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer. ❤️ We will definitely be back!

"Those at the front desk weren’t very welcoming and talked among themselves while standing there being unacknowledged. One of our biggest reasons for booking here was the heated swimming pool, however it wasn’t heated but very cold. The coffee from barista in breakfast room was terrible and very expensive. ..."
