Very comfortable stay. Our twin room was spacious and bed comfy. Chris was very helpful in advising us of things to do around the area. Short drive to cafes and Waitomo Homestead.

Didn't like the wad of hair in the bathroom sink plug, the mosquitoes or the lack of outside space. The offer of milk and the toaster provided. In need of update.

Very disappointed with misleading information
Hotel was advertised on hotels.com as having a opererational pool which was the main reason we booked there.the pool had been out of order for a long time now and this hotel had carried on misleading people on hotels.com with there main pictures of a pool with people swimming in it and also advertising it on there write up on hotels.com when clearly on there own websiite it says pool not available 2021/2022 ask for a refund and they refused and said no refunds which it states clearly on hotells.com u can get a 50% refund so again very misleading. They could have done so much beter but failed on all accounts here and did not care one bit about any customer concerns just wanted there money above any concerns we had.
