Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, especially at Christmas. The hotel is positioned by a small lake lovely for walks or a morning run. Plenty of nearby restaurants but quiet surroundings. The rooms were comfortable clean and well equipped. Easy free parking right outside. We used the restaurant for breakfast and for evening drinks and were pleased with quality and value.

Everything. Beautiful quaint charm, lovely designed lodge, peaceful location, incredible service and hospitality. The onsite chef is devine and the nicest person. The spa massage was one of the best I’ve had. The owner shared about his culture, family, special meaning of the property and even tribal wine. All in all if I could give this property a 20 out of 10 I would!

I had a fantastic experience at this hostel! The receptionist was very friendly and helpful during check-in, making me feel welcome from the start. The shared kitchen was tidy and spacious, providing a great space to cook and socialize. I also want to highlight the excellent service from the staff. I accidentally locked myself out late at night, but when I called for help, they responded quickly and assisted me in unlocking my room door. Overall, a great stay with excellent service. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

24hr access to the hot springs with a swipe token, lots of space in the room. We had a chalet which had a hot tub in the back with loads of privacy and a mini fridge where we could keep our beverages. Continental breakfast was very good. Dinner at the restaurant was great too. Free parking right outside the chalet. A quick 20min drive from Hobbiton

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids. Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.
