“Great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

We stayed here for one night in early November as part of a Tauck tour.

Checkin was quick and efficient.
The room was medium sized - decent work area. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was good with lots of counter space.
TV was OK
Internet had a high fee, so we didn't use it.
The grounds were gorgeous - our room looked out onto a gorgeous lake.
The restaurant was good, though a little disorganized - I think they were busier than they expected. But the food was excellent.
The only concern, is that the hotel isn't really near anything. So if you don't have a car, you'll probably have to spend most of your time on the property.
But all in all an excellent stay,

“A unique experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

For starters, french doors opening from your room onto an expanse of lawn leading down to a beautiful lake is so far removed from your typical sterile hotel room it's like like a holiday resort tonic ... and the view from the bathroom is a brilliant concept! We were there for a family birthday celebration and it was a great location ... the pool/spa/sauna were clean and well maintained; the dinner superb and sitting in the sun in the chairs outside our room reading the papers and drinking in the view was a great start to Sunday morning. Heaps to do around the area as well ... great white water rafting. Loved this place and hope to be back again for another weekend soon!

Room Tip: Go for the rooms with the view across Lake Rotoiti

“Scenic with lots to do!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

The condominiums at the hotel are a great places for families. I love how it's situated right on the lake front. Though spa pools would make for a great addition after a dip in the lake.

As a side note Okere falls cafe (down the road) has amazing blueberry pancakes!

“Relaxing with spacious room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay. Room was spacious with King size bed and overlooking lake. Very comfortable. We checked out the Okere Falls Store (5 mins drive) as a cheap lunch alternative. Hotel restaurant looked nice but did not eat there as we were on a budget, but sampled a few food items (room service) which were delicious. Really enjoyed our stay. Would happily return.

“Very nice, and hope to return soon!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

We had one of the units of the time share resort,

Everything was great.

Only comment was some traffic noise with the back bedroom facing the road, however i don't think this would affect the hotel as it is further from the road.

Regard to the spar pools, I advise a sail shade or pergola roof to shelter from the rain as two spa pools are out side by the main pool.

There is no shower close to the sauna or in the changing rooms.

The staff were friendly and helpful.
