The linen/towels etc were nice and clean and the bed was very comfortable but the level of maintenance for the whole property was very poor. I imagine that it was a lovely property and with some scrubbing of the walls and waterblasting and painting e.g the railings outside the rooms would really help. Yes there'd been some extremely heavy rain and gumboots, if we had some to get through the large puddles outside the rooms. It could look really nice again with some physical effort.

Old quaint buildings; located outside of the township, with lovely big spaces; a playground for children, plus an outdoor swimming pool; very country and sort of cowboy but without the horses. Enjoyed our stay here.

Pros: spa bath was nice. Room was warm with heat pump and fan heater on when we arrived. and looked clean and tidy at first glance , reception friendly. Nice Reno in room too. Price was right. Cons: outside very rundown giving a bad first impression. 1 hair in shower and soaps scum needed a deep clean. No extra blankets, mezzanine bedroom was warm with heat pump but back room was cold. fan heater provided but didn’t want to leave that on all night, an extra thick blanket for downstairs would be good. Some glasses were dirty.

Good location although parts need some maintenance

Good location close to thermal pools and Huka Falls walk. Parts of chalet had been remodelled and were in good condition, other parts were dated and need repairing. No dishes suitable for cooking in the microwave (no stove provided), mould in shower, only one bed side table and the base of that was broken! They did provide Tesla chargers though! and the cleaner was helpful and engaging.
