Excellent stay! Waterpark was just what we needed!
Excellent 4 night stay in 2 Bed Chalet. Room service was unexpected but very welcomed. Waterpark was open from 08:00 to 20:30 so great for dipping in and out around other trips. Discounted rate for customers but would have made sense for the option of a Pass to tie in with length of visit, but minor irritation. Overall totally recommended!

This was such a good stay - we just needed a stopover on the way to Auckland and wanted to swim in the hot pools to break up the trip so grabbed a cabin for the night - it was clean, safe, with excellent facilities onsite, the staff were fantastic - couldn't fault it for value for money.

Mineral pools well with visiting
Loved the private mineral pools nice to soak in. Room was clean and comfortable, Hilton hotel next door had a nice restaurant and bar which was convenient without us having to pay Hilton rates for a room.
