Enjoyed the facilities available however was disappointed by the fact that I booed a room with a king size bed and it was made up of 2 single beds joined together. Also instead of a king duvet we were given 2 single duvets which kept dislodging when we slept. My partner and I were very disappointed and frustrated as we specifically paid more to book this room and the Tv was not programmed so we could not even watch TV. Hopefully the hotel will get in touch and try to make amends.

I had an amazing solo getaway. The staff were lovely and really helpful. They let me check in early which was a nice surprise. I particularly enjoyed the heated pool and spa and the close proximity to the beach and pauanui hike. The staff also showed genuine care and told me to be careful on my way down from the hike as it can be slippery when wet. I would definitely come again
