"This motel was in a fabulous location, right opposite the lake and easy walking to shops, cafes and restaurants. The motel had easy parking. The staff were all friendly and inviting. The rooms were very clean and modern. Having a kitchenette was great and we loved sitting on the deck area, overlooking the lake for drinks and nibbles. Loved our stay and can’t wait to return. "
"Stunning property, beautifully clean and perfect for a family. Travelling with 6 adults and a child, we found this lovely house provided an abundance of space, gorgeous views directly overlooking the Waikato River and an immediate feeling of luxurious relaxation. An easy 20 minute stroll along the river to town and the lakefront, and being in a private court it is super quiet. While the house is not in the middle of town, which we knew when we booked, the location is so picturesque and the house so comfortable that we had no issues with needing to drive 5 minutes to the CBD if the weather was poor. The kitchen had everything we needed and love the inclusion of cooking essentials like oil, herbs/spices and quality cookware. We visited during Spring with cool nights, and used the thoughtfully provided plug in heaters in the bedrooms, with the fireplaces and once we worked out how it worked, the gas heating kept it cosy in the living areas. We loved our stay and will be back without a doubt - highly recommend staying here if you have the chance. "
