Clean and tidy. Slight funny smell in the room. Also ticked that I would pay at the property yet the money was taken out of my account 2 days prior. Description said that there was a spa pool, but there was only a spa bath. Convenient to town.

We stayed here for one night over the Matariki weekend. Great layout of rooms for our 3 kids and ourselves downstairs . Plenty of towels and toiletries for us all which was great. Bathroom opened up into the lounge which was a little weird, but ok. Well stocked coffee and milk and great little kitchen with all things needed to make meals. Great options on TV with Netflix and Disney which was cool. Good location for four square, restaurants and other amenities. The breakfast was fully booked out so we couldn’t take up this option, which we would have liked. Parking was very handy right outside the unit. Walking distance to the lake and other places of interest. A comfortable stay all round.

The staff and service deserve top marks. They were welcoming, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast. The bacon was delish. We had a bit of trouble getting the TV working, but we're able to stream a few Freeview channels in the end.

Booked the studio(private garden) room and stayed 4 nights. Paid a bit more and booked this property because of the "private garden"in the description, the room with a two-seater sofa in their pics and the cooking facility. However, The "private backyard" is a common walkway with two chairs in front of your door with narrow fences between you and your neighbours which apparently not "private" at all; the studio room is much smaller than it is in the pics and definitely has no space for a sofa. When asked, the staff didn't apologize for giving the misleading info or gave you a room that matches their description but asked you to pay extra for room upgrade. I booked 324 nights on hotels.com and this is the first time rating an accommodation one star. Mainly because the description and photos are quite deceiving and the reception staff not feeling wrong of providing false info. If they apologized that the description and photos are exaggerating and will change their description and photos, I probably will just let it go without leaving a one star review. But apparently they would like to keep their way of running their business. BTW, cooking stovetop is a old portable one and very slow so couldn't use it to cook even simple stuff. Full breakfast is very basic and very limited choices. Good thing is the cleaning staff changed towels for us every day. Overall try to avoid a dishonest business as you don't know what what are getting from them. Definitely not what you paid for.

Cleanliness could be better

The room was fine but the bathroom was very dated and worn. Mold in the bathroom tiles, the cabinets and bathroom door was moisture damaged. The shower was like a school camp curtain cubicle with a shower head poking out of a floor to ceiling stainless steel pole in the middle of the bathroom. The room itself needed a good dusting and deep clean. On the plus side the sheets and towels were clean and replaced daily and the hotel is in a good location.
