Firstly, the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much for them and the two ladies we dealt with went out of their way to give recommendations and ensure our stay was fantastic. We were on honeymoon and we were left a card and bottle of bubbly in the room which was a lovely touch, as was the robes and bottled water in the fridge. The breakfast is probably the best hotel breakfast you’ll ever get! A la carte options but I opted for the blueberry pancakes both days. The location is ideal, close to so many activities and in my opinion the right side of the Takaka Hill to make driving the area a much easier task (as opposed to basing yourself in Kaiteriteri). So many stunning walks and quiet beaches nearby. We loved Wainui Falls and Wharariki Beach. Sadly the weather didn’t allow for us to go Kayaking but I’m sure this would be a great activity to do. I really hope we can return from the UK one day and I would happily spend longer here! If we lived in NZ this could easily be a super week away. Absolutely amazing experience. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d222bb84-402c-4e2e-854b-93a5c40c78f8-1761753304050.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dinner in the on site restaurant ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/535654bf-8682-4562-9efe-0e12c30260a6-1761753304195.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b87eed0-218e-4466-ad59-0cffac29fd2a-1761753304095.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d1be20fb-3c31-44b4-8330-35a4c957c28a-1761753304898.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### vicki Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Sep 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place with exceptional staff, they are just awesome ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dylan Jan 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The most charming and beautiful place with touches that made our stay so comfortable.
