Liked: Cleanliness
The property has some nice features in terms of furniture, fittings and ambience. The heritage bedrooms nice decor, comfy bed. Shower curtain lets too much water on the floor, nice hot water, BUT the plug does not hold water in the basin so water is wasted. Now to the food. Beautiful fish ruined by overcooked batter, should have sent it back. Steak was great especially the surf and turf. Peri peri chicken beautiful and tender but far too hot. Prices good as were the drinks. Not a safe walk to the pool except in daylight for older people, too many tree roots.

This is a very rustic property with lots of character. I didn't partake, but was told the included breakfast was very good (apparently the chef is a pastry chef) the room was comfy, and the area was serene. If you stay here you have access to the natural hot pools 24/7. The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed 4 days and it was nicely convenient to a lot of places. (We went to Hobbiton and Waitomo glow worm caves). Matamata is convenient with other dining options, but the food at the hotel was very good. Very happy with our stay.

Stayed in one of the chalets. It was spacious with air-conditioning which was great. The bed was very good and the overall experience was very good. The bathroom could use a bit of upgrading as the towel rail was missing, no towel hooks and there was a lack of shelf space . Not a big deal really forca 3 star hotel. A lovely continental breakfast was included

Absolutely breathtaking vintage hotel! The walk to the hot springs is lovely and very walkable. Being able to see the falls would add to the grandeur. I did not go into the hot pools but to a finger touch the water was warm.

Liked it was near a hot springs. Lock on the door was not great, but the area was safe. Not many dining options close by, but we ate on property for dinner. Service was slow. If we hadn’t had a small child with us, my husband and I would have likely just leaned into the vibe and been perfectly fine.

Nice but be sure to have a car

The property was beautiful and the hot springs were a delight. The personal spa was a nice surprise but it was a bit dirty. We had a difficult time finding transportation to the Hobbiton since we had no car.

The property made for a delightful overnight stop between the Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton. After the chilly adventure of exploring the caves, relaxing in the hot springs and enjoying a hearty meal at the tavern was the perfect way to end the day. I highly recommend staying here, and I’ll definitely return if I’m ever in the area again.

Lovely old quaint property. You walk in and are greeted by the proprietor and his dog. The place is so warm and cosy in the winter. The rooms are warm and comfortable. As others have noted, they are a little outdated but that just adds to the charm of this place. Shower and toilet were in our room as well. But the highlight is the hot springs which are awesome. A short (cold!) walk down and you have three hot springs under the stars with glow worms in the back corner. A truly magical experience at night.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Continental Breakfast is included and the price was very reasonable. PLUS! There is a wonderful set of thermal pools that guests can use anytime. So relaxing right next to a river; it’s a bit of a walk but so worth it! The rooms were a little on the “well loved” side but clean and warm and a great respite from the rain.
