One of the best stays I have ever had. Got to enjoy a beautiful view of the mountain ranges near Te Kuiti whilest enjoying our time in the spa pool. The sun set from the spa was spectacular. We got a private room (ensuite) with many complimentary snacks. Will definitely visit there again. To relax and unwind. Highly recommended.
