Beautiful view, lots of space
We had a pleasant and comfortable stay here. The view of the lake from our room was wonderful! Our place was very spacious and offered many amenities which we greatly appreciated. The front desk personnel were friendly and helpful. We were rather disappointed that our place was not serviced despite our leaving out a door tag requesting service. There were sufficient towels for our two-night stay so we didn’t want to quibble but it would have been nice to have had a little clean up while we were out for the day.

Amazing property and amazing view from a spacious 3 bedroom penthouse suite! The best place we stayed in New Zealand! (We stayed at 10 different places over 3 weeks.)
We came to check in after a strenuous morning hike at Roy’s Peak. We must have looked exhausted and the receptionist upgraded us to the penthouse suite!
It was so beautiful and spacious and perfectly decorated. The view was to die for! Just amazing and would absolutely love to stay here again!
