The view at this property is amazing. The beds were comfy and the room was spacious enough. The shower (which in gerneral terms is scored by its own star - is 0) is not very good. especially if you visit the mudpools and want to wash your hair after. They really need to change the heads. There was also no privacy glass bewteen the bathroom and sleeping area - meaning going to the toilet was everyones business. But the view - does make up for a lot of this.

A quiet resort / motel on the shores of Lake Rotoiti. Recommend the Lake view rooms. Restaurant meals were excellent and pleasingly very well priced. The inclusive buffet breakfast is well worth it; a wide range of options.

Lovely location and enjoyed time there. Property really run down though and needs some tlc. Understand covid situation may not have had cash flow to do this, but gardens need doing, walls need painting, definitely not how i was used to seeing the condition of this property in. Shower in bathroom was mouldy but rest was clean. However room rate vs what had was good value for money.

Had an excellent overnight stay. Hotel room was spacious, clean, modern and beautiful. A comfortable sleep also, and staff were very friendly. Dinner was incredibly tasty. Would return in the future,
Room surroundings were noisy (due to other patrons at night), and only minor negative was due to staff shortages we couldn’t order individual breakfast items (continental breakfast was nice but bloating).
Thanks hotel for the great experience.

A real shame, the property is in an excellent location, however it hasn’t been maintained and repaired
Out door chair split canvas seat, hence couldn’t be safely used
Elsewhere outdoor wooden picnic table had quarter of table top collapsed.
Extremely low water flow in shower, estimated 2l/min, while hand basin probably 8 to 10l/min
Carpets appeared unvacuumed
Others persons hair on bathroom floor
Many cracked and damaged tiles in bathroom.
No robes as advertised
Missing handle on the bathroom - bedroom folding divider shutter doors..
USB power outlets on bedside lights not working.
Overall disappointed that a previously great property has been neglected.
Our stay very short, overnight, thankfully the bed was clean and comfortable.
Also no traffic noise, and the lake was very peaceful.
