An enjoyable place to stay, great location & very reasonably priced.
Pros:

Excellent location! Very close to the lake where we swam and a lovely walk called Waipaihihi where we took lots of photos. Also close to an amazing cafe/bar on the lakefront called the 2 mile Sail Club.
Good sized room, lovely staff & very reasonably priced.

Cons:

Didn't try the restaurant, pool or spa so can't comment but pleased that they were there. The bed was a bit soft for our liking but not terrible. Arcoroc cups not my favourite but not a game changer.

Comfortable apart from the water pressure in the shower
Pros:

Friendly staff, easy check-in and rooms were a decent size. Easy parking and access.

Cons:

Water pressure of the shower was really bad. I have pointed it out to the staff on checkout, and they said they will pass that on to management.
