Make an extra effort to stay here. The only thing warmer than the welcome was the hot spa pool/jacuzzi and the most gorgeously inviting geothermally- heated pool probably on the planet!
From the moment we arrived we felt like honoured guests. The place was spotless and perfectly equipped. The pool though was something else...it reminded us of swimming in a warm tropical sea....but having it all to ourselves!
Its really worth finding time to put this place on your journey plan, we felt we could have stayed for a week, chilled out, and not really cared about seeing the local attractions. The local attractions deserved attention though...a great local beach as well as the surfing at Mt Maunganai. I golfed at Mt M golf course....lovely course with trees so attractive my ball kept wanting to meet them....
Don't hesitate....don't pay to go to thermal spa, just come here.
