Overall nice stay, and would stay again. The staff and the restaurant were nice. Only one spa was going. The beds were comfortable. The cleaning needs a bit of upkeep perhaps.. there were live larvae and dead larvae shells under our beds. We noticed this as our daughter lost an earring so we had to move the bed to find it… wish we hadn’t of done that. Otherwise nice place, handy to the mountain and great facilities close by.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in a king room on the ground floor. Very convenient for driving to Whakapapa ski field. Cosy bar and dining room for the evenings, and pleasant staff. Note for future guests, the bathroom is very small. Daily room service available if desired. We will stay again.

Wont be back

The family mezzanine is not young family friendly. The toilet + bath is so small, it was hard to get a water for the pot because of how small the sink was. It felt like they forced the setup to have 2 beds downstairs. Not enough space to move. Upstairs was also tight, the bedside table was already blocking the entry way from the stairs, and also blocking the sockets. It is also not that clean, the stair is steep and not stable. Outside and neighboring rooms can hear sounds from your room, so you really need to be quiete for the benefit of your sensitive neighbors. The door also doesn’t lock, I mean because of the wood expansion, it was hard to lock the door. If you are unable to notice it, then you’ll end up having an unlocked door.
