This is the best motel room we have EVER stayed in especially for the price. We have nothing but great things to say about our stay. The rooms are spacious, you can actually fit 3 people comfortably on the couch. The beds are comfortable. The towels are dark and don’t have a strong smell of bleach. But the best features would have to be 1. an actual Big Smart Tv, the biggest of any other motels we have stayed throughout the country. 2. Heated flooring in the bathroom 🙌🏼. 3. Half price to the pools. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Thank you we will be back again.

Most disappointing holiday park in all of North & South NZ! The physical look of the park with the lights in the tree and of the powered sites was nice. The kitchen & dining area was uninviting and run down - There was no dish soap. The laundry dryers don’t dry your clothes. The after hours support staff were useless in assisting us, couldn’t even change our money to coins so we could pay for MORE drying. Thank goodness for the lovely Hilton staff next door, they changed our money (after we walked through the park at -1 degree). Unisex toilets and shower. Expensive site, will not be recommending this park to anyone.
