No showers

The room was musty smelling and when we had our showers the water trickled out. I was going to wash my hair but decided to wait. The manager just said they are trying to fix it but didn’t want to compensate us for not being able to have a proper shower. Not a very good start to the day. The place has great potential if they got these things fixed. Cool playground.

A cottage in the country complete with cows at the window. Very unique. Families will love the extensive outdoor adventure area amidst the trees with tree hut, flying fox and many more activities. Large peddle cars and swimming pool top it off. Even the young at heart enjoyed the activities.

Check in was great with the very friendly owner/manager. Originally booked a caravan on location, but the owner/manager encouraged us to stay in a cabin for no additional charge, which was very considerate. She didn’t seem like she wanted us to stay in the caravan and, after seeing and smelling it, we could see why. The showers and toilets are average. They should just state that they don’t have WiFi with how bad the connection and speed is. There are also chickens and cats that freely roam the property.

Sadly the owners/managers weren't very friendly from the very first contact. The park says there are BBQ facilities available but doesn't state it's an extra charge. The hot pools were empty and the attached spa pool to the cabin had other people coming and going and had an additional charge of $30 per hour. The property was clean and warm... It did feel a bit slap and dab with a thrown together cutlery set and different wine glasses and cups. It has all the potential to be a really good little spot and living just down the road could be a great weekend break away. Sadly with the above issues, I'm not sure if that will happen especially with so many other nice little places in the immediate vicinity.

Hot pool but only un beach

Petit lodge avec lit,frigo et terasse,. Literie de qualité moyenne. Douche et WC commun, relativement bien entretenu. Très proche des hot pools, service de Fisher and chips qui ferme a 20h. Possibilité de barbecue et autres activités dans le camping. Manque clairement un hot pool et ce serait parfait

A little bit of paradise

About 2 km from the small thermal town of Te Aroha, this property offered a low cost option when we had to be in Hamilton by 10am the next day. The cabins are beautiful, the rural setting divine, the night sky breathtaking. There is a pool an hot pools that were well-used, although we went down the road to a thermal resort. The beds are comfy, bedding is good, the kitchen adequate (bring your own food). A good option if you have a car. Prices very reasonable. I usually stay in urban hotels so this was a welcome change of pace. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The town of Te Aroha is exceptionally beautiful and there were plenty of dining options. So if you have a little bit of extra time in your business itinerary, make your way to Te Aroha and replenish the spirit under the mountain.
