Wonderful service, location and amenities. Our only grumble is a lack of bedside lighting in our room to allow us to sit in bed with our books! We did visit in the middle of winter so lounging around the pool was not really an option.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay as a family of 5. The soundproof room was clean and conveniently located at the start line of The Possum Night Trail Run. Facilities were easily accessible & it was a treat to be able to swim until 10pm. We look forward to our next stay!

Was an amazing stay not far from Taupo with the thermal pools and Huka falls close nice and clean

The warm pool was really relaxing on a rainy day. Facilities were adequate but a bit dated. Navigating the halls was kind of confusing, and the signs don't always point to the most logical routes. All in all, it was a nice stay and we enjoyed our time here.

We had a lovely stay at this resort. The staff were excellent, very polite and efficient. The facilities, including the golf club over the road, hot pools, gym and sports court were great. There was a real family atmosphere and early mornings and late nights were nice and quiet, so we could truly rest up. The dinner at the restaurant was eclectic and delicious, though we needed to book due to its popularity. Our only criticism would be the buffet breakfast that was overpriced with not much to choose from, so we only ate there once. Other that that, we will definitely return and recommend this place to others, particularly as a spring or winter resort location due to its hotpools.

Everything we needed for our overnight stay. Unfortunately our room was very hot and difficult to sleep in. As tge rooms are centrally heated it couldn't be remedied.
