Excellent location with units hidden from traffic noise behind a small hill. Very peaceful with nice views of river and bush. Not your usual main road motel. The river is a background white noise generator - very relaxing. Excellent restaurant if eating in.

If approaching from the south, continue another 200 metres to the turn-around and come back from the north as the entrance is on a fast section of highway. Check Google Maps and plan your approach. In cold and damp conditions (we were unlucky with the weather, but it did not spoil our stay) the room would benefit from a bathroom extractor fan to reduce condensation.

Stunning view & location. Just beautiful! Our room was perfect to entertain our group gathered at the venue. Bed Linen & towels were ok, fresh & replaced each day. Nice & warm, good kitchen facilities. The gardens are truely amazing.

Not overly clean, stained carpet throughout. The duvet & matching pillow covers were stained, as were the drapes in the bedroom and a window in the bedroom was broken. Overall our stay was very cool, but the property needs some TLC & attention to the aesthetics. If the rooms had the same attention as the gardens, then this would be top notch accomodation. Slightly over priced restaurant, meals very nice flavours, although the wait service was good.

Loved the location, long driveway, ample parking, and of course walking distance to a lovely, inviting, warm restaurant The river was a breathtaking view, and It was peaceful. We had a simple, easy check-in, which was great! The room/unit was big and spacious and seemed clean to the eye, and the spa bath was bliss. They had this cool bath bag to add to water while was filling, which we loved! Tv worked well, we streamed the All Blacks 2nd game, and air conditioning worked well and was a blessing on the rainy, cold night we arrived. Jug, fridge, and other facilities in the room were absolutely up to par.

I Didn't enioy the "double" ( 2 single mattress together) bed, fell into the middle gap most of the night, so wasn't all that comfortable, and pillows were a little less to be desired. Spa & Bathroom: The Downside was the tap had seen better days,( starting to come unstuck from the wall) and the bathroom windows could have had a better clean (quite a bit of black/green build-up).

Just right for three days of exploring the region, while we were based in this surprisingly comfortable establishment. The accommodation is a part of a large complex that serves as a convention or conference center, in a country setting. It was very quiet. We had a lovely view across a meadow with cows, from huge windows and a balcony. The spacious room is well appointed, not in a luxurious but in a comfortable way, with a kitchen that served us well since we like to shop at the store and prepare our own. The location is at a ten-minute drive from “downtown” (such as it is…}. There is a restaurant on the premises, we did not visit it.

Nothing

Lovely view, nice grounds to walk around. It was very private. Location was close to town and relatives. Good shower. plenty of hot water, heat pump kept the room warm. Really nice restaurant, coffees were fantastic. Food was very nice too.

You could hear noise from the other rooms, each morning there was a huge amount of condensation on the glass, double glazing would have fixed both of these. Position of the tv meant you had to sit on the bed, Would have been nice to sit on chairs - especially as we watched a whole series on amazon prime.

Very friendly check-in. Owner was on site and helpful. Wonderful location even if a bit hard to find. Close to a beautiful walking/hiking trail.This would be a great base to use while visiting the many close-by outdoor places. Especially if there were a group to help spread the costs.

For someone not familiar with the local geography, it is a little difficult to locate. The actual buildings are quite far off the road, and once on the grounds it isn't clear which is the office. Those things are NOT enough for me to make a negative review. Overall I was very happy with the place.

Location to town and facilities were great. It is a very good option for meals having a full restaurant on site with fabulous views. The view from the apartment is great and it is very quiet and peaceful - I even heard a Morepork (small owl) calling out one night - I loved that! The outside of the apartment and grounds are also very good and looked after. All the staff were very nice and helpful.

I would say that the interior of our 2-bedroom apartment now needs a repaint and the kitchen updated. The microwave was very sad unfortunately and definitely should be replaced, especially as you can buy very good mid-priced microwaves for about $400. The top drawer for the cutlery was broken. Also the sink and kitchen faucet needed replacing. If those items could be tweaked and replaced, then it would bring it back to a very good standard.

Great location, beautiful views and so quiet. We were looking for a peaceful spot to stay with our toddler over the weekend when visiting for the tattoo festival and are glad we picked this place. Easy check-in, clean and tidy studio apartment. Much bigger room, bathroom, bed and kitchen than anticipated. It met our every need with our toddler. The views are unbeatable, rolling hills, lush native forest and the river. We hardly saw or heard anybody else during our stay. The hotel is a quick 5 minute drive into the city which was easy as and we had a view of the mountain every time we came of left the property which was fantastic. Would recommend to families or anybody travelling through looking for a quiet, serene place to relax and unwind.

The view was absolutely stunning. Friendly staff. Andrew was lovely. Serviced daily. Free laundry facilities. Lots of parking. Two toilets. TVs in each room with sky. Large rooms and living area. Fireplace.

Pillows and cushions were a bit old and smelly. Sheets didn't fit bed so kept riding up during sleep. Need a fan in upstairs bathroom. No fan meant we had to open windows during our showers, and the bathroom flooded with mozzies and sand flies. Jets in spa bath need a decent clean. Pink mould.

Fireplace with proper dry fire wood ready to go with kindling and matches provided. Good safe parking well away from roadway/public view (Own expensive motorbike). Steak meal onsite restaurant excellent. Big sliding glass doors, view and decking. Good bath and bath salts provided for relaxing soak.

Breakfast unavailable/closed, staffing issue due to public holiday??? Hard sharp edges around bed base and chairs in restaurant don’t have very good back support.
