A wonderful venue, highly recommend for your events, weddings, family reunions, birthdays etc.
Pros:

Loved the overall experience being there all weekend and having the place to ourselves. Our family and friends for the wedding. What a stunning venue with all the amenities for a successful event. The renovation of the rooms are fantastic, modern clean and very comfortable.

Cons:

A bit of condensation in the room. Not having a cafe/barista feel onsite.

Pros:

What an amazing place to stay. We had our sports team stay here during a tournament and it worked perfectly. Great grounds and facilities. Rooms are spacious and clean and have everything you need. Close to town but tucked back from the street that you feel like you're on holiday.

Cons:

Would have been nice to have dinner there but understand its a work in progress.

Nice, but bad location with no food, or food delivery available.
Pros:

Very new, very clean

Cons:

Beware this location is in the middle of nowhere. There is no restaurant, and ubereats doesn't deliver here. If you don't have a car finding food to eat here will be tricky. There is no one at reception ever so you have to go hunting for staff on the grounds to find your room key or if you need any help at all!!! We had a wedding there at the staff clears the table really fast like 2 hours before the reception was due to finish! Even if your wine glass is half full they'll take it and clear up while you're on the dance floor really really, 2 hours before reception was meant to finish because they're so short staffed.

Absolutely amazing.
Pros:

The staff were absolutely amazing, going out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for me. The room was amazing aswell, and loved that you could choose to either have a normal shower or a rain maker everything was just perfect. And again big ups to the staff member that I encountered I'm sorry I did not get her name but she will never be forgotten she was a Rockstar. Will definitely come back even if it isn't for an event just to stay and relax..

Loved it, absolutely value for money
Pros:

Modern and clean, best of all it looks brand new. Comfortable stay, parking was right outside the door

Cons:

Have to turn in from the motorway. Good thing is that there is a dedicated turn right lane to wait for traffic to clear before turning ☺️ but it missed that turn will have to drive ahead before able to make a U-turn

Pros:

Clean and newly revamped. Comfy bed...slept so well, thank you! Great location between Levin and Otaki. And also if anyone wants a place to have their wedding where their guests arriving, can have a few days to stay and attend your special occasion... definitely see Tatum Park as ideal for all accommodations and the location to have a wedding!

Cons:

Nothing really to mention... understand that it was close to Christmas too and that even the staff needed time off. So we totally get it!
Communication by the team at Tatum Park was also amazing and clear with instructions too.
