"The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The room was immaculate. Check in and out was very easy with online options to make check in faster. Parking may be an issue of the hotel is fully booked. The front desk staff were helpful finding parking alternatives."
"I really enjoyed our second stay at Horizon, away from the busy vibes of Sky City. It feels intimate, luxurious, and personal with such a friendly staff. As soon as you step on the bridge from main building, you can relax, feel safe and calm, looking forward to your beautiful room and very comfortable bed."
"We had a great stay at Kamana Lakehouse, we hadn’t booked a lake view room so the ongoing building work (right in front of the hotel) didn’t bother us. The staff were really friendly and helpful, our room was lovely - cleaned and serviced every day, the breakfasts were tasty and varied and again the wait staff were great. Would recommend."
