We stayed in the studio for 3 adults with spa bath. It was very comfortable and had everything we required. We only had an overnight stay and unfortunately it was raining in the evening when we arrived so we quickly explored the area in the morning before heading up to Mt Cook. Would definitely stay there again.

The room is very clean and well-maintained, with jacuzzi bath and very close to the lake. The reception is not quite visible from outside and signage is not easily found. Parking is a bit inconvenient due to the room entrance is facing main driveway to other rooms.

The pod was comfortable and matched the description. It is located within a larger holiday park that seems more worn down. The common areas were functional but could use some updating.

The location of the cabin was amongst unused sited caravans- close to shower/wc / kitchens etc bedding and room clean - downside was the metal bunk beds which were a little squeaky when turning over- beautiful lake which in season would be a busy site.

The unit we stayed in was ok. When booking the description lake view with hot tub…I didn’t expect the lake to be so far away and the hot tub being a jacuzzi bath in the bathroom. We would loved to have our door open and sit and admire the view however the guest next door smoked all evening so we had to keep our doors shut unles we wanted to share the cigarettes

We stayed 2 nights but only had 24 hours of WiFi. The office was closed when I went to ask for the next 24 hours. I had work to do and could not do it. There should be a way to have WiFi for the entire stay.
