  • I took my partner up Puheke to be able to catch the sunset. I've never been at this time of the evening, and I'm so glad we went! Magnificent cloud formations that just so happen to brighten up Mt Camel in the background. Beautiful! #sunset

Very clean and tidy. I arrived early and was allowed to store my luggage in the office till the room was available. I was then directed to a cafe where I could get a lovely breakfast which was discounted. I would come back here.

Staff were lovely. We had a family room and it done the trick. Old place and relatively clean. Pool was nice not deep but long enough to do some laps and the spa was so hot so takes a little bit to get into. You also have to book the spa so if you want to use it remember that. But yes old place ans needs aircon but it did have a fan. Although no good really as no locks on windows but also so much flies and insects so catch 22.
