Summary: This is an amazing location but be aware the drive is a bit treacherous in the rain. It doesn't say on the website how steep the descent to the hotel is. This has been a stunning hotel in the past but does need updating in places. The beds are super comfy though. The drinking water however is not nice, really weird tasting (spoilt the tea/coffee) so take bottled water with you. We mentioned it but was told it's always like that and nothing wrong with it. Staff were friendly but looked a bit scruffy for such a nice hotel. We would stay again but not in the rain and we'd take our own water.

Summary: A lovely quiet peaceful place to stay

Summary: The facilities were immaculately clean… but some of the discrepancies are what add to the charm. Think ‘Budapest Hotel’ and you’ll absolutely LOVE IT! My husband and I had the best time ever. So much fun. Thank you!

Summary: Resort in need of a refresh
KAREN May 24, 2026 06:19:23 AM
Summary: We booked two nights here but one night would have been sufficient. As many other reviewers have pointed out, the views are fantastic and the staff friendly and helpful. Our room was dated and the entire resort has seen better days. Dinner was a mixed bag; the salmon main was delicious but the pork belly was all fat and the vegetables overcooked. We ate out on our second night. We had breakfast included and it was mediocre at best. The pastries were stale and the continental selections were limited. Our cooked items were pretty tasty and we left feeling like we’d had plenty to eat. We wouldn’t recommend staying here when there are plenty of other accommodation options throughout the Waitakere area to choose from.

Summary: Stayed one night in a loft room (Room 15). The stairs are narrow but manageable, and the room was bigger than expected, very clean, with a great view. Excellent shower. Staff were genuinely lovely. A really nice, easy stay.
