Independent - accommodation in Whangaruru

The room was a great size. A big bed each! We only met one member of staff and he was the one that booked us in. He was lovely! We parked easily enough and close to our room.

Overall, the experience was decent and the atmosphere was comfortable. However, one major downside is that the place is not pet-friendly. It would really improve the experience if they considered allowing pets, as many travellers and locals appreciate venues where they can bring their furry companions along. Additionally, while everything else was generally okay, the food menu could use some improvement. Compared to other restaurants, the variety feels quite limited. Expanding the menu with more diverse options and better choices would make a big difference and attract a wider range of customers. In summary, it’s an okay place to visit, but becoming pet-friendly and improving the food selection would significantly enhance the overall experience for travellers.

The property is in a good location, very clean, the staff amazing and the 'suites' well appointed, but the interior pictures do not tell the full story. We required a comfortable and clean base, and the property fulfilled that requirement. The exterior of the property is a different story. The entire site is covered in concrete for a as many parking bays as possible, the units are very basic from the outside, the 'restaurant is now a surplus furniture and bedding store. If you require a visually attractive 'resort', privacy and luxurious suites, this is not it. The 'suites' are basically repainted & refurnished cabins or rooms. The interior photos make it look much more luxurious than it is. So, this was great value as a comfortable, affordable and well-located base, but if you expect a holiday resort in Pahia, this is not it.
