Everything. Beautiful quaint charm, lovely designed lodge, peaceful location, incredible service and hospitality. The onsite chef is devine and the nicest person. The spa massage was one of the best I’ve had. The owner shared about his culture, family, special meaning of the property and even tribal wine. All in all if I could give this property a 20 out of 10 I would!

Room had everything you need for a few day stay. Location was perfect with a quick walk to heaps of shops and restaurants. Right opposite the lake. Friendly staff. Free car parking. Free WIFI. Laundry room Available. The best thing was pulling up into the car park after a few hours of driving with our toddler, to see the trampoline and swing-set - he was entertained for hours. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful hotel - right on the lake. Very friendly welcome from Filomena, Wendy and Sudhi. Our room was gorgeous! Bright and spacious with a fabulous balcony overlooking the Lake. Nice pool.

We loved the old world charm of this heritage hotel. The golf course was fun to play on, and the hot pools were relaxing, even in the rain.The staff were very friendly and efficient. We enjoyed both the restaurant and the bar food. The continental breakfast (included in the room price) was ample, and l particularly liked the cheese scones. We will definitely be returning.

It was not on the main strip but in the waterways housing. Both super markets are easy walking away. Whitianga was alive and the cafes were doing good trade. We used the hot pools at the Lost Springs excellent. We used the BBQ facilities at our accommodation. Had breakfast at the local cafes down by the water front. They were launching the class bottom boats down the ramp. If we had more time that looked like a great activity

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids. Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

We loved it.

We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close. Would love to come back to Thames at some point
