It was a lovely place to stay where your surrounded by nature and peacefulness. I loved the food at the restaurant and recommend the eye fillet and the secrets of citrus for dessert!

Keryn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We stayed in one of the two apartments. It smelt damp, the bed was very hard and uncomfortable and the couches had stains on them. Unfortunately the beautiful view didn't make up for that and the sauna didn't seem to ever get to temperature.
Anna, 2-night trip

Lovely. Views outstanding, pool & sauna on site. Restaurant good. Can recommend
Gary, 1-night trip

We had the villa for one night and wish to stay there much longer. The location is very quiet, nice view towards Auckland. We can definitely recommend the accommodation.

beautiful location
Doris, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is an older hotel that's absolutely full of character and should be enjoyed for what it is. We totally loved our stay there and will definitely be back. It's in a stunning location, the staff are all super friendly, it has a great restaurant overlooking Auckland, and the rooms are comfortable. It's not perfect and that's part of its charm, but it is unique and fun.

Wendy, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Stayed for 4 days very beautiful place to stay, fresh air and friendly staff. Fresh towels everyday. Gym room was good. Pool was nice too. Only gave 4 stars due to noise from other tourists in the hotel, too noisy late at night, when trying to rest. I would stay here again, thankyou.
