Location was spot on. Very comfortable beds. Towels were replaced every day.
Good value for a lakefront property with clean room, balcony, and a kitchenette with Nespresso machine. The spa in the open plan bedroom is a cool feature. Will be happy to come back again.

Pleasant stay
Thermal pool was lovely. View from window nice over lake. French Manager very helpful and replaced sliding door lock.
Spacious room fairly well equipped but the property is a bit tired.
Location is great and outlook over the lake wonderful.
Under-floor heating very cosy.
Very good value.
This was one of our favorite stops. We loved our room looking out over the lake and appreciated the jacuzzi tub after doing the Tongariro Crossing hike. The room was clean and was a short drive to shopping and restaurants.
