Water Newton accommodation from NZ$176

The only thing that I can fault is the coffee, it is definitely not the best quality, probably the worst I’ve had

2 night stay, couldn’t fault the hotel, only downside was the pool which is not for swimming more a family pool

This was my second stay at this beautiful hotel, which has lots of charm. The location is so peaceful, and listening to the dawn chorus in the morning, after a great sleep in a very comfy bed, was a pleasure. Plenty of tea/coffee etc. in the room, although no fridge. The spa was spotlessly clean and the facilities really good for a quick session in the evening - a nice extra treat to enjoy the stay. I do have quite a critical eye though, and there are things that could be a little better. The room was lovely but the paintwork was knocked in places and needed touching up, and marks on the wall where a previous guest must have spilled a drink needed cleaning. The shower leaked despite the glass door. There were some damp patches in the bathroom. There’s just a little feeling the hotel isn’t as loved/cared for as it could be, and a little TLC would elevate the experience. Not much effort would make it excellent, instead of good. All that said, for the price I paid it’s really worth it for a quiet getaway, and I will stay again!
