The tour guide was friendly and helpful. If you enjoy natural scenery, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland and Blue Spring are must-visit attractions.

Great 4.0

Great rooms with complete stuff. Police sirens/ambulance were just so prevalent at night. But overall our stay was great and my kids enjoyed the hot pool.
