The big shower heads in Villa 6 may need some attention and also the fireplace didn't work.

The staff were amazing i didnt get their names but we arrived saturday afternoon and the lady on reception was very welcoming and informative, and their was another maori lady in the kitchen who delivered our kai to room 106 even though it was dark and quite far away, also the guy who was on the bar very good job! Loved the room space, and especially the bed that was so comfortable. The spa was amazing also.

While room was very serviceable the decor was bland and needed additional soft dressings / finishes.

Good location with great views.

There was no compendium with any information regarding the hotel, its facilities or local attractions. There were no plugs both sides of the bed, a small detail but annoying when you're on your own and your phone is plugged in on the other side of the room.

The room has been newly renovated, the bed was very comfortable and the room large and spacious

Only thing I would of liked in our room would of been a microwave (not a kitchenette but just a microwave ro heat up food). It did come with a jug which was great and other rooms would have have a microwave, depending on the room you book

Our room had a small deck off the side with a partical view of the water (still great view). Location and access to the water is perfect. Room had a great bathroom and bed was very comfy - we opted for King bed but it can be split into 2. We didnt use to resturant but it looked lovely and on a night evening you can sit outside and look over the dunes and water.

The apartment we stayed in needs some TLC. The property is being renovated so that will be seen to. Some creature comforts would be appreciated.

Superb location abd the restaurant and main building were just beautiful. The staff were not just friendly but could banter really well which is great training. The food was lovely.

There could been more pillows and they definitely could have been newer. We always strip the beds in the morning to help the cleaners and kind of wish we hadn't in this instance taken the pillow cases off as the age of the pillows showed,rather a lot of yellow staining. The linen, however, was clean and smelt fresh and that is the only thing we could really find "wrong" with our Superior Beachfront King room.

We were offered a room with a better view (there was a large Pohutukawa tree in the way of the view of the beach with the reserved room). We appreciated that conscientiousness. Upon entering the room, it smelt clean and fresh. The view from the finalised room was amazing, with a sunny balcony to enjoy our morning coffee. The bed was very comfortable and larger than expected so we had a great sleep even with our two year old son taking up most of the bed. The bath was a nice extra (something that is a must for us after long days on the road, or tough adventuring, a bath makes all the difference) The restaurant offered great food at reasonable prices. We couldn't decide so got Grilled Lamb Rump, Cheese Burger and Chips, Fish and Chips. (for the boy) Garlic Prawns, and Kawakawa Calamari plus a couple of non alcoholic drinks, The meals were generously sized, well seasoned and served with original flair (using a Maori influenced menu which we loved). It all came in well under $150 and we were even able to take away a large doggie box of some solid snacking for movie time later on back at the room. We awoke to paradise at the end of our fingertips just waiting for us to start exploring. Definitely a jewel in the Hokianga!

I put this here so we could share how wonderful staff were. We had trouble with air conditioner working ( it was humid) in the end they upgraded us to a room with a view at no more cost. That was amazing. Thank you. We will be back

Absolutely first class breakfast. Excellent scrambled and poached eggs. Lovely setting on a dull day

The lighting was bad inside the dining area. The bedroom also had poor lighting and no lighting going up the stairs which is a safety hazard.

Amazing views.. clean property. The bed was very comfortable.

Unfortunately the room didn’t quite meet the expectations; we had a broken slider door, and a very stained/dirty looking chair. The shower water ran out over the floor and the lovely mural was peeling off at the corners. A mirror facing the beds is uncomfortable for sleepers.

Stunning location and nice big rooms.
