10/10 Excellent

"Mel’s Retreat was a very comfortable Suite to stay. Beautiful area, well furnished suite, and well worth the stay. Mel had more than one could ask for for a continental breakfast.Well worth the stay. Only thing I would comment on is it is a little tight for space."

Waitomo Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Considering what we paid and the location of the hotel , we were a bit skeptical until we arrived. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean , very spacious and very , very comfortable. Little things like water bottles, chocolate, and milk in the fridge just added to the enjoyment. Town with shopping and restaurants is a short walk away"
