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.
