10/10 Excellent
"Great accommodation. Location is good and the heated pools are a great bonus. We were surprised that the pool was heated even though it rained all day, we were able to enjoy the spa under the shelter and enjoy watching the rain. Another highlight was the King Studio room we booked had our car park directly outside the room, this allowed us to charge our EV car outside from a portable charger plugged in the room. Would recommend and also plan to be back!"

"We arrived late at night and called ahead as checkin is only to 8pm. They left us easy instructions to get our room key. Our room was a lot bigger than we anticipated and very clean. We were impressed with the quality and easy checkout the next morning. Tutukaka, the town itself, is very sleepy and it was a bit tough to find an early breakfast, but very beautiful and serene."
