Rooms are comfortable and cosy. Oil heater kept the rooms warm and when off, room kept it’s temperature. Value for money with a great restaurant in the complex if required. A good base if you are wanting to be close to activities and the mountains.

Great stay. Just be aware that bathroom is small, which makes dressing after a shower near impossible. Friendly Reception and Bar staff, lovely meals in the Restaurant.

The twin room was spacious and ensuite bathroom could be so much better if have selves and more hanging hooks, had to go outside passageway to get to room. Friendly staff and the dining in was great. Unfortunately the weather was not favourable and mountains 🏔️ in clouds but we did enjoyed the drive up the Whakapapa valley

This was a very good property. Room was large and clean. Nice amenities. All the staff was eager to help and their food was very good we recommend trying the chef specials…way more food than we could eat and it was really good. One downside was there was no lift and we had large suitcase for each of us.
