Guest Reviews
- R Young (9/5): -
- Eugene (7/5): Brilliant location and very comfortable stay. - It's a nice place, well maintained and reasonably modern. The heated floor is great, the in-room spa is great. View is amazing, right on the lake. It is well appointed for a family as well if needed (I travelled alone this time). Staff actually called to make sure they were there on arrival (evening). Definitely recommended. The WiFi was spotty, kept falling off, which was a bit annoying but not end of the world.
- Jen (5/5): - Location Pool (old but nice and hot) Good water pressure No netflix Cold Reception closed early opened late Grey linen No triple sheeted cover, Unit felt grimy
- Tobias (10/5): -
- Mark (6/5): Fine - Great location and views The room was tired and the coffee machine didn’t work
- Rania (3/5): - It was a beautiful view and lots of amenities. It wasn’t cleaned properly and had hair on the counters as well as coffee cup stains on the table.
- Wendy (10/5): Wonderful and relaxing experience - Comfortable Bed Spa in room Heated pool So close to the Beautiful lake and views were exceptional. Loved the privacy of the balcony making you feel so private. Nothing
- Ej (7/5): -
- tsjipke (10/5): -
- Jill (9/5): -
- Yolandie (5/5): Good location. Dated room with non quality bed and pillows - The owner was very friendly and the location is great with lake views The bed was too bouncy and the pillows were of cheap nature and very uncomfortable. There was no hot water for us when we arrived in the spa bath or shower. Onky on the morning we left
- Kiri (9/5): Must do. Basically perfect. - The view was incredible! At night we had the stars and the reflection of the city lights on the lake, in the morning we had mist from the lake and from the two thermal spots right in front of our balcony, during the day the view was stunning with the snow on Ruapehu. Gorgeous experience in the deluxe suite, the Jacuzzi in the room was so large for both of us and the King bed was so comfortable. The outdoor heated pool was a comfortable 36 degrees and was enjoyed after the thermal spots on the lake and before the Jacuzzi. The kitchen, bathroom and toilet layout was perfect. Extra blankets and a couch that is perfectly positioned to get the afternoon sun in April, outdoor furniture including a sun lounger were all thoroughly enjoyed. What else could we ask for? Also the cookies, shower caps, and beverage options were a nice touch plus friendly staff. Keep up the good work guys, incredible. The water was not getting as hot as we would have liked / deemed reasonable for a shower and for the jacuzzi though it was doable. It wasn't cold, it was just not sustainable for a good soak in the tub. Passed this info on and it was met well.
- Jane (9/5): The location is great and room was a good size. - Nice view of the lake waterfront. Liked the hot pool, though it was a bit cool. temperature of the pool was coolish
- Belinda (8/5): - The spa in the room, the waterfront location The rooms are looking a little tired.
- Lynn (8/5): -
- Susana (10/5): Very friendly and accomodating. - Good location, by the lake, loved the coffee pods Could do with upgrade but it’s still comfortable
- Ross (7/5): Pleasant, comfortable, stay in a great location. - Great location beside the Lake. Good Parking. Secure place to leave our Bikes outside the room under cover. Leak from top left hand side sliding doors during the heavy rain. Double bed a little soft for my liking.
- Guest (4/5): -
- Martin (9/5): - Sehr großzügige Wohnung! Unmittelbar am Wasser gelegen. Sehr nettes Personal!
- Trevor (10/5): -
- Vipul (4/5): -
- Jade (3/5): All in all very disappointing - The view of the lake The cost versus quality of facilities was terrible. Was in no way equivalent. Broken lights, which had to be disconnected leaving no lighting in living area, broken drawers, leaking doorway, lingering smell, mattress was lumpy springs coming through, TV was older than the room. All in all very disappointing
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Alana (1/5): Horrible - - Outdated, dirty, mold, unfriendly
- Digby (10/5): Comfortable, relaxing with such great service. - The lady we dealt with on site was incredible. Friendly and helpful and went over and above what would be expected. Nothing I can think of really. Staying there was a great experience.
- Guerin (10/5): Very friendly staff really enjoyed our day - Very comfortable and tidy room wonderful view
- Cummins (4/5): Overall a disappointing stay. I would not reccomend this place in its current state. - We liked the location, it was right on the lake, the staff were very friendly. The pool was too small for swimming, it was more like a spa. There was a large wet patch on the carpet in the middle of the floor. It must have been a leak as I had to use several bath towels so we werent walking on a cold wet floor all of the time. The room was tired and quite basic for the price.
- Adele (7/5): Enjoy the view - Nice little pool. Great being on the lake front. Bathrooms need a refresh
- Nathan (9/5): -
- Catherine (6/5): -
- Wesley (10/5): -
- Athamkavil (9/5): -
- Claus (10/5): Enjoyed it - Very nice place
- TAMNZ (4/5): - Not much. Reasonably new carpet. Nice view. Room totally over priced & badly in need of upgrade. Whiteware & electrical appliances need replacing. No fan in toilet. Combined basin & top in bathroom has cracked surface. Mould on tiles in shower. Totally not up to standard.
- Hiria (8/5): Lake view is perfect! - Great location! Beautiful lake view! Spa next to the bed in the lounge was unique. Two singles in small bedroom was very tight, couldn’t close the bedroom door! But otherwise great value for money. Would definitely stay again! Tiny bedroom with 2 singles was too tight. Was fine for one person. But 2 people and luggage in that room would be a problem.
- Tzaddi (10/5): We are absolutely grateful to our hosts and cleaning staff who made our stay perfect - View was of the lake, accommodation very clean but most of all the staff were very supportive and lovely. They helped us immensely with delayed flights which caused late check in, lost air BnB key so added on 2 additional al guests with a child. We were attending a wedding it was pouring with rain they gave us bathrobes to use so we wouldn’t ruin our dresses. Just brilliant. Thank you. Everything was perfect
- Givo87 (10/5): - The spa in the room was a bonus. Nothing
- GARY & RACHEL (9/5): -
- Lexi (10/5): - Beautiful views, good spa bath Very small parking not much wiggle room, you’d not want to be staying and expect a close park with a big car we where last in an struggled to park and we have a Highlander
- Georgina (7/5): -
- Kenneth (8/5): -
- Rochelle (9/5): Great place for families - Comfy beds, great views and hydro pool. There was no extractor fan in bathroom so there is some mold in there. Otherwise really clean.
- Tasha (10/5): -
- Julie (7/5): Fantastic location but smelled of cigarette smoke, and the spa pool in the room is a bit odd - Excellent location. Lakefront and easy walk to the centre of town. Lots of space in room, and everything very clean. Guests are allowed to smoke outside on balconies and ground floor gardens, so cigarette smoke blows onto your own balcony and into your room due to the onshore breeze from the lake, which is very unpleasant for non-smokers. The room smelled of stale cigarette smoke so it must be an ongoing issue. The property is advertised as non-smoking, but it clearly isnt. Personally found the spa pool next to the bed a bit odd, but can see the appeal to couples and honeymooners. Insufficient sound proofing.
- Debbie (7/5): - Location It’s a bit dated, bed too soft - probably old!
- Mozzaded Ibn (7/5): Expensive even it is the off seasons - Near the lake No shops and coffe
- Deon (8/5): -
- Natalie (7/5): -
- Cam (7/5): - The view exellled Kitchen was dark can put in more lights
- Mandy (9/5): Beautiful helpful staff - Incredible waterfront views A little tired and in need of some tlc
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Rebecca (10/5): - Excellent!!! This beautiful place is perfect, why stay anywhere else!! It's literally on the lake front, we stayed on the top floor. The room is fabulous, bed was comfy, good bathroom and shower pressure. The best thing though is the balcony and views! You look right across the lake, you can hear and see the water lapping, the ducks quaking, and watch people walk, run and cycle along the wide waterfront path. There are even two thermal springs in front. The view of the sunset is amazing! If you eat in, we ordered delivery from Sorrento italian restaurant both nights. Cannot fault! My only tiny niggle is pillows could be better, but that's my review from the whole Island so far... don't hesitate book here!! Just the pillows but we were OK...
- Sharron (8/5): - Prime location right on the lake front, had everything I needed for a very comfortable night Feels like it needs a wee lick of paint and a freshen up
- Anushika (10/5): Truly amazing - Beautiful view literally the lake to your doorstep . Service for essential is there too . There’s a cafe right beside the place . You can order food in but no room service of menus . Very ideal place for kids as there’s space in front literally when you open a patio door . Need some things for kids though . Like toys or something little for entertainment. Man the spa indoor was amazing we all love love love . A little pricey for 2 days but it’s fine .

- Jessica (6/5): -
- Brendan (8/5): -
- linda (8/5): -
- Dixie (9/5): - The location! Nothing.
- Mark (8/5): Stayed for a night as we traveled North - Large apartment right on the beach. Small Pool. Clean and tidy if a little dated. Nothing to complain about really. Few steps to get to the upstairs apartments so those with mobility issues need to get a ground floor room.
- Peter (10/5): - Location and quietness and friendly staff.

- Heidi (9/5): -
- Rodney (9/5): -
- Paulo (7/5): Beautiful place. Will be back... - It's locality and amenities. Uncomfortable mattresses. Way too soft.
- Peter (8/5): We would stay again - View from the room was excellent, the room was a long rectangular shaped which is quite unusual but fabulous. All amenities were fine and the thermal pool was a winner. Access to the lake was quick and easy. Nothing
- S_Ragh1 (7/5): -
- Michelle (7/5): -
- greg (5/5): -
- K (9/5): Lovely, magical and we can't wait to come back again. - Fantastic location, the view is uninterrupted. The swans outside, the water sounds it was just magical. The bath in the room was spacious and lovely. It could do with some fairy lights or similar as the main light can be strong when trying to relax but it was so relaxing to have that bath (jets cant be used after 10pm and we had a bath around 10:30pm/ 11pm but we didn't miss the jets) The bed was comfortable. The pod coffee machine was great. The staff were wonderful including the gentleman who had to deal with guests smoking in their room and on their balcony. Sadly they ignored him and kept doing it. But he was really lovely. Even when I asked for more coffee pods and milk. 10/10 for service. They have a tv and DVD player (we saw dvds in reception) some places limit you to 1 bottle of milk but these guys were happy to give another one when you ask. It was a nice layout and we are happy with most of our stay. We still recommend to others. Easy access to the room and we saw a disability access room on the lower level. There is a nice cafe next door. The curtains are great, very dark and they have sheer curtains for privacy if you want them closed. The air con wasn't working, but the ceiling fan was a good alternative with the balcony door open. the balcony door latch was broken but we were on the second floor so that was ok for security, the shower head needs to be cleaned or replaced from the build up and the hair dryer has been melted by someone. Fridge is either not cold enough or it freezes things but the door seal is broken and could be the reason why. Bubble bath decanted into a little jug but it doesnt tell you what's in it. Inconsiderate guests smoking off the balcony (no fault to the establishment, this is all on those 2 guests who stunk out other rooms with their cigarettes and incense) Just little things like that for the price paid. Not trying to be picky, it's just little things that make a stay slightly annoying. Overall, it's a nice place with enough things in the kitchen to make things. The carpark is a bit small for med and large cars trying to back out when it's full. But we are already planning our next stay here soon.
- Andrew (10/5): Very comfortable and warm with great access to walk around the lake - Perfect position on the lake edge
- Nav (9/5): -
- Toni (8/5): -
- Allison (9/5): Overall we enjoyed our stay - We loved the location and the view from the room was outstanding! The small size of the TV was actually too small for the room… needed a larger TV. Found room and epsecially bathroom rather outdated for price we paid.. needs updating…
- fatima (9/5): -
- Richard (9/5): -
- Ariki (10/5): -
- Dennis (10/5): -
- Catherine (9/5): Great place for a one night stay over - Lovely view, good size room, although I don’t like having spa bath as part of main living area.
- Kylie (10/5): Amazing views and luxury touches everywhere! - Amazing location right on the lake edge! Cafe right next door too. Thermal pool was lovely on the cooler day. Spa bath was a bonus. King size bed was very comfortable, but when my husband moved at all I was bounced awake 😂
- Mark (10/5): - Location and view
- Darren (9/5): - Amazing veiw could not get any closer to the lake, perfect spot to sit and watch the sun go down. Spacious and super clean comfotable beds. Hot water spring right out the front into the lake and amazing cafe next door (breakfast/lunch) walking distance to sailing club and other resturants. A little outb of town but that makes it so peaceful.
- Julie (10/5): Excellent would recommend to others - The view was exceptional, the hotel was comfortable and warm and the thermal pool was great. The housekeeper was amazing and the cleanliness was excellent. A little bit out of the main town.
