原本很期待，到現場感覺比較失望
Pros:

渡假村的位置就在LAKE WANAKA步道旁，步行不遠即可到孤獨樹。房間整理得很乾淨。

Cons:

1.看照片下訂的房型結果到現場被分配的完全不同
2.整體設備感覺上有年紀了，連馬桶的按鈕都很舊還會凹陷
3.VILLA的位置不太好找，且離水岸很遠，跟原先預想的差很多

Not great value for money mainly due to noise from above.
Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

We were in a suite room however there was a unit above us and it sounded like elephants were in it! We stayed 2 nights and same for both nights. We paid for a suite so we could use laundry machine in room which was good. The cleaning staff also left our room unlocked. Reception was very apologetic however our belongings were vulnerable. Breakfast buffet was nice but we felt it was a bit overpriced.
