What's nearby

  • I would not usually consider a garden a must-see experience, but I am really glad a local told us to visit Hamilton Gardens. The experience of wandering through a maze of hedges that open into perfectly cultivated gardens plucked complete from other countries and other eras was quite possibly the closest I will ever come to feeling like Alice in Wonderland come to life. You never know what magical sight waits around the next bend in the path.
    Hamilton Central Business District
    3 min walk - 0.2 miles
  • A few kilometres downstream from Lake Taupo the river changes to some rapids for a short distance. When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

Greeted by lovely, welcoming staff. Place was fine and quiet - stayed in bottom room. The room had a bit of damage - sat on dining room chair andit was very wobbly - lucky I didn't actually break it and bit of a hole in bathroom door. The outside / roadside of the property just had rubbish that looked as if it had been there for a while but grounds inside were well kept.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Quiet room away from traffic noise. Blinds over kitchen window & vents in bathroom full of dust & need a good clean. Matress on double bed needs replacing felt like i was falling onto the floor A number of cigarette burns in bedroom curtains made the room look untidy (unit was non smoking) No contact wuth management after collecting room key & appeared to be no way to contact them if needed in emergency. Ok as a last resort but would not be my first choice to stay
