Fabulous

Stayed here previously and service is fantastic. A bit of let down as one of the basin in the bathroom was blocked and fuse blew as soon as we turned the jacuzzi on. I was told the following morning that we could have called an after hours for urgent assistance, but it was a too much of a hassle for someone to visit late at night. The front person was very apologetic, luckily we had the fire going so it was warm enough for the night! Very comfortable place to stay. Will stay again in the future.

Easy and quick check in process, very spacious and cosy room with an amazing spa bath and incredibly comfortable bed! Great to have a mini fridge and the bits and bobs we needed to have our own meals in our room instead of dining out if we wished. Robes and slippers were a nice touch! We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

The room size was large, which meant it was comfortable to spend time in there. It had been raining, so we were very happy to spend time relaxing with a book. The room had two sources of heat, including a log flame gas heater. Two spas, one outside and the other in the bathroom, suitable for two.

Property was amazing. Breakfast was excellent. Ordered the steak for dinner $48 was excessive for a piece of meat that tasted like it had been defrosted in the microwave very chewing and I'm guessing was Cajun seasoned flavour ruined the meat. Only half was edible due to thick grizzle in the meat which could not be cut with a steak knife. Sides were poor. $41 chicken burger dripping with oil. Would not suggest dinner there. Other than that would definitely stay again.

The property is located a couple of kilometers along a gravel road. I booked a Deluxe Spa Suite (14 - Kereru). First impressions: The room smelled slightly of stale cigarettes despite a strict no-smoking policy, but the room was enormous, and had floor to ceiling windows providing wonderful views of the Amuri Basin. Decor was somewhat worn and dated, but I loved the fireplace. Lots of birdlife in the gardens to see and hear. The private spa was a treat being able to soak and relax in such a quiet environment. I didn't love the slimy feeling or colour of the hot tub water, but it was hot and the views were gorgeous. You could hear other people in their hot tubs on the balconies, but that was to be expected. The venue binder mentioned bug spray and repellent in the room, but it wasn't - I had to call and request it and it was quickly provided to deal with a few rogue sandflies and mosquitoes. Lovely spa bath, with a small sachet of bath salts provided, and incredible water pressure in the shower. I spent a lot of time soaking in the spa bath and it was wonderful. I was disappointed at the toiletries - the bulk pump dispensers and quality of the contents was like watery dish soap. It would have been more fitting to have a set of nicer quality mini-sized toiletries, considering the deluxe spa suite and room pricing. I didn't eat at the restaurant. The room had a mini bar fridge and kettle, no microwave and ample tea, coffee and cookies (at no cost).
