Wouldn't stay again - there are better hot springs
Pros:

The hot springs were good and we also had a private hot tub.

Cons:

When we arrived, the check-in person asked us where we came from and when we said Auckland he said, "The best view of Auckland is the one in your rear vision mirror." I thought this exceptionally rude. The job of people who work in hospitality is to make you feel welcome not insult you.
Our unit did not match the photo on the website. The website photo had been lightened so that it looked bright, fresh and new. I think this is dishonest.
The staff serving in the restaurant were exceptionally casually dressed - in lycra, track pants, jandals and trainers. The food was average pub food quality (i.e. not very good).

Great place for a night, will come back to play a game of golf, the hot springs were quite unique.
Pros:

The place had heaps of character, it was really clean for an older place, and overall had a good vibe. The hot springs were a great extra, and a substantial continental breakfast.

Cons:

NOthing we didn't like.
