The restaurant was buzzing when we arrived for dinner, and there was about an hour’s wait for a table, so something to keep in mind if you're planning to eat during peak times. Our neighbours in the room next door were quite noisy until around midnight, which made it a bit hard to wind down. That said, the staff were absolutely lovely and welcoming, and our room was spotless. We really appreciated the care that went into keeping everything clean.

When we booked the room, there was no clear indication that children would be required to have their own beds or that they couldn’t share a room with parents. We stayed the first night without any issue, and only on the second day were we told we must pay for another full-priced room, or leave. We did not stay the second night, and yet we were charged. The hotel’s failure to communicate this policy at check-in, combined with Expedia’s lack of clarity during booking, resulted in significant stress and additional cost to our family.

A guy entered our room around 2:15am. I open my eyes a little bit to see his face but I can't recognized it. I was so nervous and scared that time so I didn't ask for help from my parents coz the first thing in my mind is that what if he has a knife or gun that he can use to kill us. He sat to our bed where I and my son sleeping. After that he stand up and turn on the light and open the door for about 2-5mins and then he go upstairs where my parents are sleeping, I don't know if what he is looking for. After a few minutes he went downstairs and leave our room. After he leave our room I immediately locked again the door and went upstairs to wake up my father and I told him that there is another person who entered our room. My father immediately went to reception but no one is on duty, he also ring the manager's number twice or thrice but the manager didn't pick up the phone to answer my father's call. So my father decided to call 155 at first and then the staff told to my father that he should call 111 for immediate response of an officer. The officer arrived in a minute and he also tried to ring the manager's number but still he didn't pick up the call. We went to our room with the officer and explained everything. Until now we are waiting for the update of cctv footage from the hotel. It's the first time I've encountered that kind of situation. My son was traumatized on what happened earlier, he don't want to sleep that time and he is crying thinking about what happened.

The receptionist on our arrival was very friendly and welcoming. All staff were. The room we had was very clean, comfortable and warm. I'd recommend this hotel to everyone heading to Whakapapa. The only thing that I do have a gripe about is when we went to dinner in the restaurant. I had to pay separately for everything. Yes. Pre dinner drinks. Starters. Mains and dessert. But other than that. The meals were very good.

We stayed for one night in family room with two single beds downstairs and a double upstairs. Hotel can do with a bit of renovation but beds were comfortable and room was clean. Staff was friendly and food looked good. Bathroom is small but shower was fine. Can hear people talking in adjacent rooms. Overall good stay as good location and services.
