Toka Ridge was a real stand-out on our five-week trip around New Zealand. We are four well-travelled seniors, who appreciate comfort, beautiful architecture, surroundings and nature, and this place has it all. Really, it’s modern, meticulously maintained and stunning in every detail inside and out. And while it is a bit of a drive to some of the thermal attractions just south of Rotorua, the walks nearby — Hamurana Springs and Okere Falls — are very special. We truly loved our three-night stay here and the folks who own the property live nearby and are totally responsive and helpful if you have any questions. Worth a five star rating for sure!
