The view of the lake was awesome and when the sky was clear you could see Mt ruapehu from our lodging. The heated floor was a bonus for the winter chill and the beds were nice and soft. Town was down the road and family activities were close by. Was an amazing time for me and my family.

Super convenient location near hot pools. We booked the cheapest cabin (without bathroom). It was perfectly located between reception and the amenities block, so everything was close. The check in staff was friendly and helpful. The room had a fantastic heat pump that kept the room lovely and warm on a cold night. The curtains blocked out the light really well. The only the negative - and the reason I won’t stay again - is because this room had zero sound proofing with the adjoining unit. We could hear word-for-word our neighbour’s phone conversation and TV when we went to bed, and were woken at 5.45am when she spent an hour thudding about 3,000 steps around the room, opening and shutting drawers and doors. Even our drink bottle sitting on the table was rattling when she walked around. I’m a light sleeper and I needed a decent sleep before doing a 3 hour drive, so the lack of soundproofing ruined an otherwise great stay.
