Top Hotels Near Wildwater Wildlife Area in from NZ$108

"Loved this place! The sunshine and warmth in the solarium made me feel like we left the Midwest for spring break! The seating around the pool and pool and ping pong tables were nice when the kids wanted a break from the pool. Our room was clean and the coffee machine in the lobby was an added bonus. "

"Summary: Won’t be back and I highly recommend you give it a miss on a $5 day (if the waterpark is open- make sure to check their calendar on their website). Good: Our room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was great. Bad: The waterpark itself is in dire need of updating (their social media says this will happen in fall 2026). It also seems that like the amenities are severely undersized- there were 50+ people waiting in line at breakfast, nowhere to sit, the lobby was packed as soon as we walked in. When we went to the waterpark, there were far too many people. The hot tubs were packed and often times had nowhere to sit, kids were waiting in line for a raft to go down the slide to then go wait in a line with 25 kids to go down the slide for 10 seconds. The lazy river was packed with tubes and kids walking. The line to go down the slide where the bucket is took 10 minutes to get through. We went to the waterpark for an hour, debated leaving the hotel, and left in the morning. "

"Pool was fantastic. Temperature was exactly right for little ones and not too deep."

"Spa was closed early on Saturday."

"Love"

"The breakfast was awesome! The pool was freezing, and the hot tub was broken. The front desk staff were wonderful! They were experiencing technical difficulties because a storm took out the phone and internet, so they didn’t know if rooms were reserved, already rented, or available. They had to go back to pen and paper. "

"The staff was friendly and helpful even in the late evening and early morning. The room and common areas were clean and well maintained."

"Parking was great. "

"Staff was great and personable. Didn’t make us feel like we needed to checkout asap in the morning. Breakfast was average, but hot and tasty. Pool area was clean and safe. Lots of seating for parents. Ran out of pool towels though. "
