We had an incredibly relaxing time here.
PLUSes:
I absolutely love the reception area, and pool and surrounds.
Cocktails brought to the poolside.
Lunch! Especially the steak and the shrimps on a skewer with the side choice of roasted pineapple. Just 10!!
Bungalow, and the deck and deck furniture on it.
Being able to hire bikes.
The poolside design and appearance, in all respects, are absolutely lovely and photogenic.
MINUSes:
Croissants: the most miserable ones I’ve ever found, consistently with uncooked dough in the middle.
Midgies always flying over the fruit at breakfast.
Breakfast, somewhat blah and remember the price is around NZ$500 a night (all day long a five star price) so food should be better.
Having to chase people to get poolside drink delivery.
Dirty wooden floors in indoor bar area. Need deep cleaning. Broken bits on outsides of some bungalows. Shabby golf carts (used for first trip to bungalows with bags).
The property is really really good but a few aspects as above need a very good refurb.
Being unable to turn off a number of lights in our bungalow (room 2) which seemed to be down to a dodgy light switch. All night on.
