Nice but be sure to have a car
The property was beautiful and the hot springs were a delight.
The personal spa was a nice surprise but it was a bit dirty.
We had a difficult time finding transportation to the Hobbiton since we had no car.

Lovely old quaint property. You walk in and are greeted by the proprietor and his dog. The place is so warm and cosy in the winter. The rooms are warm and comfortable. As others have noted, they are a little outdated but that just adds to the charm of this place. Shower and toilet were in our room as well. But the highlight is the hot springs which are awesome. A short (cold!) walk down and you have three hot springs under the stars with glow worms in the back corner. A truly magical experience at night.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Continental Breakfast is included and the price was very reasonable. PLUS! There is a wonderful set of thermal pools that guests can use anytime. So relaxing right next to a river; it’s a bit of a walk but so worth it! The rooms were a little on the “well loved” side but clean and warm and a great respite from the rain.

Snug and clean
It was raining during our stay, which made the hot springs magical. Snug and warm and friendly. We would stay again if we pass through the area.

Surprised with review rating as photos are misleading. It is a very tired property with bare patches on carpet in our room. Our check in was delayed as the power was out on arrival and their generator was not working. With an eta given of 4.30. Eventually generator was up and running outside our room. We asked to change our room, but we’re fully booked. Overall really disappointed with lack of customer service and property overall.

Very "interesting" property. Situated in what seems like a forest, amazing views and the walk to the hot springs is incredible. The 3 pools are different temperatures, recommend the lower one near the trees - you can catch glow worms at night. Room was ok, bathrooms need A LOT of TLC. Very old and rustic, would not want to stay more than 2 nights

Beautiful and quaint with very friendly and helpful staff. Our fault we missed the check in time, but they were very nice about it. Unfortunately, the pools were closed for cleaning, but when they opened, they were amazing. Would go again for sure!

The property had no air-conditioning, no small fridge in the room but we coud use the fridge in the common room but they said they couldn't guarantee no one would take it and the decor is very very dated

Central location in the Waikato, within an hour of Tauranga, Rotorua, Hamilton and Hobbiton.
Hot pools are handy and a golf course across the road. Staff were friendly and courteous and the food and beverages top class.
