I have visited New Zealand many times and stayed at many places during my various trips. But this time was different. Why? Because i booked a room at Rainforest Deluxe and was met with a beautifully appointed cabin that looked out onto the temperate rainforest surrounding it. The room had top notch inclusions including a Nespresso coffee machine, a microwave, kettle, toaster and crockery for two. The quality of the amenities was also top notch, as were the duvet and pillows ... everything was perfect. The cabin was essentially new, so everything was clean and in next to new condition. The service was also great. All in all, a fantastic place to stay.

Can not recommend this accommodation highly enough from location, design, privacy, staff and amenities. Quick, friendly greeting by three staff. A map to show us to our Deluxe accommodation.undercover parking, leafy outlook, upstairs to deck and suite. Umbrellas provided in cute ceramic gumboots. Coffee pod machine, a varied selection of teas and sachet coffee. Toaster & kettle. Heated floor and towel rail in bathroom . Double size shower cubicle. Glad we booked a dining table, as it was super busy. Pity one lady barely let us stand up before putting her jacket on my husbands seat. Poor staff had to be firm with her about prior reservations. Staff worked tirelessly and with a smile throughout the evening. A very relaxed and chilled stay. The mist on the mountain and glistening rain shining from the lush under storey was delightful to witness from our suite. Thank you.

The room itself was amazing! Beautiful and high end. The bonus of the barrel sauna across from our room was lovely. The big disappointment was the deplorable condition of the hot tub. It is cracked and broken, none of the jets work and was only warm. The hot tub did not meet my expectations at all. It needs to be replaced ASAP.

Disliked: Staff & service
The deluxe tree room was ok, but the service and the rest of the facilities were both average at best. It’s located in a caravan park and surrounded by camper vans and hostel like rooms, but I would say the price of the room is not at all on par with the service you get. I also didn’t find the staff friendly and the kitchen in the room is really a kitchen by name only. It doesn’t even have a stove top and you can barely wash a glass in the sink.

GREAT LOCATION AND STAY!

Loved the Rainforest Deluxe! Actually wish that we had more time there! We only had 2 nights, but it was great! The hotel has such a great location and you can walk to everything. The restaurant on site is surprisingly good, usually hotel food is just okay, but this was really really great food! We stayed in the 2 bedroom with hot tub, and loved having the hot tub to relax in at night after hiking! Super clean and amazing layout! I'd comment on the views, but Franz Josef didn't like us while we were there and rained the whole time! HA! I'm sure the views are great! Also- the heated floors in the bathrooms are AMAZING!!! Loved it here! Would definitely recommend and stay again!!!

The "welcome" at check-in was not great - to say the least. The first impression of a hotel is always at the front desk and this person was definitely in the wrong job!

Disappointing

This resort is mostly a backpacker and with some deluxe rooms. The room was nice however the fridge is only a chill fridge and no freezer so when travelling and a kitchenette is advertised one expects a decent fridge. The rooms are not serviced until about 4-5 pm which is too late and the first service was very poor. Rubbish was left, no new milk and bed not made The amenities list a spa except that it is always full of backpackers and is a loud and unpleasant environment. Would not recommend as a deluxe accommodation For $600 per night and advertised as luxurious this property is very overpriced.
