Room had a lot of marks and damage all over the walls and curtains were very dirty. Water kept coming through the shower door and over the lip of the shower, so floor kept getting wet. Bonus was there were plates, knives and cups and a small table. Beds were comfy

This is a stunning location. However the particular unit we had was in need of some general maintenance. We specifically paid more for a unit with a deck but then couldn't use it because the outdoor furniture was in such bad condition you couldn't sit on it. We got provided 2 teabags and hardly any sugar which is not good in a serviced unit. If you want hotel type service with bed making and replenished supplies, don't stay here. Ive stayed here a lot but always had other units. This one was disappointing.

Lovely hotel by a lake

A wonderful hotel room. Very spacious with good facilities and on the ground floor (there’s no lift). The onsite restaurant is good, which is essential as the hotel is 7km from the nearest town (Cromwell). The lake makes a nice backdrop and a good place to walk.

Nice setting. Clean room. Booked a 1 bedroom villa so we had our own outdoor deck in the sunshine. Disappointing that the only furniture on the huge deck was a dining table. There were no outside sofas or sun loungers as shown on the photos on Expedia. Would not have booked the more expensive room if we had known this beforehand.

It was the perfect place for that one night we spent in the area. Clean, modern/new, with a small balcony where you can sit and enjoy the view. Our unit was one room with one queen and two single beds. The restaurant at the property was very good as well. It can get quite busy so need to make reservations.

Party hotel obviously

Paid through the roof for this accommodation only to have a party downstairs and no answer from reception at 10pm so had to ask the occupants to turn the music down ourselves. Given we were there for business there was little consideration from the staff for guests varied reasons and right to peace.
