We had a great stay here. The room could do with upgrading slightly and the bed wasn’t massively comfortable (though we are spoilt with our own one at home so could be being picky). The room we had was spacious, sunny and warm and in a fantastic location. The temporary property managers, Karen & Terry were awesome and so helpful. We would definitely recommend this property and will happily stay again next time.

Absolutely beautiful property! We could have stayed forever with the gorgeous view of the lake from our window. This was our favorite place to stay in New Zealand.

Thank you for your review we hope that we will see you again .
Located next to the lake, the apartment had everything you might need including a washing machine and dryer. It’s a short walk to the town where there are local restaurants and amenities.

thank you for your review we hope to see you again.
A very modern & comfortable apartment with all the modcons including the in room washing machine & dryer which was handy . A nice balcony coming off the lounge . Friendly staff & an awesome swimming pool .
Stayed for two nights and were impressed by the accomodation and amenities. Loved having a fully equiped kitchen and laundry facilities! And that they replenished the laundry powder each daily, unlike many other places. The unit was spacious and the fold out bed in the lounge was perfect for what we needed. Great location to the lake and easy walk into town. Only negative if I had to have one was probably the transactional nature of check in and check out. No smile, not warm NZ welcome but that’s better than bad service any day. Would recommend.
Great location, clean, comfortable, and easy commute to stores or restaurants.

Fantastic apartment
Wonderful property so well laid out. Easy parking right next to your door. Huge apartment with comfortable bed. Washer and dryer were really appreciated. Lovely views. Pub next door for a great meal.
Very quaint apartment very close to the water, view from apartment not great, but because of its close proximity to everything, that didn’t matter to us. Check in was easy and hosts were friendly
This place is a real gem. Way better than an ordinary hotel, but yet we still got all the services of a hotel - amenities replenished daily and the place was kept spotless. We had a huge bedroom with a partial view of the lake (see pic), other rooms would have had better views. Highly recommended.

The owners were super nice and helpful. Our room was clean and tidy. You get your own parking space which was very convenient for us. The motel is not too far from the town centre and there is a restaurant right next door on the lake front if you are looking for somewhere to dine
Plenty of space. Good kitchen. Bed mattress was hard. Unit was tidy and clean. The reception lady was new and limited in being able to help with questions.
Great staff - nice to deal with. Flexible re late checkout
The vacuum cleaner head in Room 5 was broken when we arrived so was tricky vacuuming the room
The barbecue tools were dirty so had to pre-wash them before using barbecues
Really liked the barbecues and that area though
We had a 2bedroom upstairs/downstairs unit and it was cold downstairs (winter) with only a small wall heater in both bedrooms, apart from that really nice place, with good facilities, good hosts and convenient location

Very comfy, great place to stay for 3 nights
Nice apartment style accomodation with everything we needed. Relatively central short walk to a nice bistro restaurant. Unfortunately didn't have a chance to try the pools. Managers were really nice.
