It's a lovely place to stay. The room is clean and spacious. The location is between Auckland and Rotorua that is suitable to stay one night to unwind and join the hobbiton movie set tour next day. The dinner and breakfast are yummy.

Everything. Beautiful quaint charm, lovely designed lodge, peaceful location, incredible service and hospitality. The onsite chef is devine and the nicest person. The spa massage was one of the best I’ve had. The owner shared about his culture, family, special meaning of the property and even tribal wine. All in all if I could give this property a 20 out of 10 I would!

Beautiful place, right on the Lake. We had a lakefront studio and the room was beautiful, immaculate, comfortable and had a great view from the balcony. The whole place was beautiful and the staff we met friendly and helpful. The food was the best dinner we have had since visiting NZ!

    Love the room setting that made us feel very homely with lots of characters and all supplies we need the moment we're in. The Christmas decorations were really lovely around at the time. The area is very green, lovely and quiet with lots of old trees, and there's a trampoline and tennis and golf course for kids. Specially, the hot spring pools right next to the river are amazing, the feel of so close to nature in natural hot pools is just exceptional and unforgettable.

    A 1 night stay to break up our journey from Wellington to Hamilton. Large 1 bedroom apartment which was very well organised and clean. Two large sofas made for a comfortable relaxing evening. The pool is small but the hot tub (no bubbles) was heated to 38 degrees. Both were enjoyable. The kitchen (no oven) had everything you needed to prepare a meal. The staff were friendly and provided a bottle of milk for a much needed cup of tea

    Taupo is much better visited outside of the busy periods (school holidays). When there's less traffic and you can get around without issue and finding a carpark is more likely. So much to see and do and many amazing restaurants. Wairakei is also only up the road and there are many geothermal attractions within a short driving distance.

    Whitianga is a very picturesque place.

    Whitianga is a very picturesque place. There’s a beautiful long beach, green countryside and mountains surrounding the area. The town is a decent size with everything you might need. There are many restaurants and cafes to choose from and the real fruit ice cream is superb. The staff member at the information centre is brilliant. A little ferry takes you to another area but beware of the hike to the top of the hill- it gets very challenging! I went on a two hour boat trip which was fabulous.

    My first trip was 45 years ago.

    My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.

    We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close. Would love to come back to Thames at some point
