    Remote, beautiful, peaceful location. Fully equipped kitchen. Close to Kai Iwi Lakes. Lovely and helpful owners. Spotless and private rooms. Stunning lake view. Tranquility and relief.

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    We had a wonderful stay at this luxurious hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt a sense of relief and tranquility. The owners made us feel right at home and provided us with great tips for exploring the area. The 1-bedroom apartment we stayed in was incredibly comfortable, with a fully fitted kitchen and a stunning terrace where we could spot birds and enjoy views of the pond. The hotel is also conveniently located near a beautiful lake and a Kauri forest, which provided awe-inspiring experiences. The hotel's modern and spacious lodges, along with the warm and helpful staff, truly enhanced our comfort and enjoyment here.

    This hotel is highly recommended for families seeking a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    This place was amazing for celebrating the New Year! the spacious rooms with stunning views were a highlight. Plus, having a selection of DVDs in the room for rainy nights was a great touch. the location was definitely remote, but we loved the peace and quiet and the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

    We had a wonderful weekend away with our family and friends in a peaceful and private location. The lodges were fully equipped with everything we needed, including bikes and kayaks for some fun activities. The owner, Ruby, was very welcoming and made us feel at home. We loved the park-like gardens and enjoyed a picnic on the lawn. The location near the beautiful lakes and forests was perfect for our outdoor adventures. Plus, the underfloor heating kept us cozy and warm during the chilly nights.

    Although the lodges were well-equipped, there were no nearby shops or supermarkets, so it's important to stock up on supplies beforehand. We also had some trouble with the wifi connection.

    The location of this place is quite good, as it is just down the road from the Kai Iwi lakes. it is set around a small lake, with wonderful landscaped gardens, and has well-appointed and decorated lodges with good privacy.

    The appliances in the lodges are a little outdated, making them less functional.
