I had a lovely stay at this hotel, and I can't rave enough about the beautiful location and how clean and comfortable the rooms were. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. However, the lack of variety in the breakfast menu was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it was good value for money, and I'd definitely consider coming back.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location was incredibly peaceful and perfect for exploring nearby attractions like Waitomo and Matamata. The room was conveniently heated for us on a rainy night, which was a nice touch. However, the presence of insects in the room was quite off-putting. The service was friendly, and the breakfast was delightful, but the overall cleanliness could use some improvement.
