We had a conference here recently - the place is in a state of dis-repair! In my villa, clearly for some time the window had been leaking for some time and the carpet was rotting, and stained! In the main venue - the roof was leaking! Varnish is missing off of ALL varnished areas! I don't believe that the staff... More

The carpet was covered in stains, as was the couch, the shower floor was dirty and there was urine on the toilet wall and skirting. The bed had a very thin sheet ontop of a dirty mattress, and the woollen blankets made you itch. Even in the main reception area the toilets were very dirty. The food was really bad,... More

These villas are set towards the back of the park and overlook the water. The villas feature large bathrooms and bedrooms, with undercover parking space outside each villa.

We stayed for a weekedad good the state of the rooms and facilities to be very unclean. Mould on the carpets, shower, walls and fridge. The service and general attitude of the staff was very poor. We played a game of golf and the course is in a terrible state, there are much better courses to play on around Auckland... More

The rooms arent the highest of standard and could do with some renovating but I still enjoy staying here when well in need of a night away but not far from home.. Theyre spacious as are the... More

Firstly I will say that even though the main attraction here is golf even if you are not into golf (like myself) their are still lots to do at this resort and nearby. It is set amongst huge grounds which are great for walking or just relaxing under a tree and it also has a fully stocked gym with swimming... More

Stayed here for our last two nights in NZ for a game of golf. The villas are very spacious and have great potential but badly need refurbishing. The carpets, furniture, curtains and bathroom all need replacing. However, the bed was the most comfortable we have slept in during our two week stay. The service was very good and the staff... More

This place has potential...ex villas and an awesome location however every meal we had to wait 30 minutes for service and that was before the food even arrived! It has good sports facilities but everything needs upgrading, especially the showers and toilets. More
