We really enjoyed our stay in this very warm ground-floor unit. It had everything we needed, and the pool table was a bonus! The thermal pool was absolutely lovely! It's in a pleasant location and we had a very nice soak each night.
The space is huge for a couple, so if there were more of you, you'd be fine. We liked sitting out on the patio in the evening, overlooking the excellent herb garden.... we used some basil and mint in our cooking, while there!
The kitchen is a little small, which was no problem for us, but might be a bit tricky if you're a larger group.
We really appreciated being able to plug in our car each night so that we could explore the area. There are so many stunning places. We recommend the walks near Urchin Campground in the Kaimanawa, the walk around Lake Rotopounamu, and the Te Porere Redoubt.
