Great stay, right across the road from the lake, it made going for a swim super easy. It was an easy walk to town for a meal and a few pints and air conditioning in the room to cool the hot summer night. We could have gone to the bar on site for a drink and food. It looked very nice but we wanted to see more of the town. We loved the upstairs room because of the view.

The lady at the front desk was very friendly but we were disappointed that our rubbish wasnt cleared as it was advertised that this would be done. We also needed to ask for more towels as we stayed 3 nights. Room was spacious and shower had good pressure and the spa bath was nice. Air conditioning was good.

I was met with the most lovely lady who then came out of the reception to show me our room and car park, she was so warm and welcoming, lovely lady ! Our room was beautifully finished and decorated and exceptionally clean, super comfortable bed and pillows. Highly recommend. We had just arrived from Napier on a rd trip seeing family. We we're a little disappointed with the motel there which was supposed to be a good quality one, so we're not so easily promoted to write a good review. Thank you for our lovely experience here, most definitely will rebook when we return March.

Yes, the room was very dirty, the towels were badly folded, and the bathroom was really filthy. I'm not even sure if the room was cleaned, and it wasn't the room I paid $250 for on the website. I can't recommend anyone stay there.

I felt the shower was a bit dangerous as it was a high step up / down. The water was very hot but I had a near burn because the mixer on the shower was hard to know which way was hot or cold. A vacuum under the bed was needed. Very clean and comfortable beds .

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Room had an abundance of coffees and teas. Soap,tissues and towels provided. The floors probably needed to be mopped as the floors were very dirty. There was no toilet roll holder. Also no iron in the room. There was no available parking but reception was kind enough to arrange an alternative spot. Good location
