A gem on the Timber Trail, worth the 6km off the track. The place has real character! Beautiful peaceful location, a real retreat. Comfortable rooms, well stocked kitchen. A treat to have a soak in the spa pool after a day on the bikes.

We loved our stay here. Sadly, the weather turned and we couldn’t do the Tongariro Crossing hike as we’d planned. But the lovely woman at check-in gave us several other shorter options that we could fit in before the storm hit. We spent an entire day curled up on the comfy sofas in the lounge. The staff started the wood stove (yes, this was in summer! :), and we felt grateful to have such a lovely place to ride the storm out. The staff was all very helpful and we appreciated their service with a smile, especially so close to Christmas. If we’re lucky enuf to come back, we’d love to stay again.

Have to make sure that the weather is good before you decide to go. Book the accomodate that is with free cancellation, as if the weather is bad, then there is nothing much you can do there. In summer, hiking the tongariro, in winter, go ski.

Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Art Gallery is exceptional. There's a good range of funky cafes and bars (check out the craft beer spots on Drew Ave and the Papaiti Gin bar) and the Saturday Farmers Market is definitely worth a visit. Other places to check out are the Durie Hill tower and elevator, the walk along the river and Paige's book shop. Fuirther out of town there is Bason Botanic Garden and Kai Iwi beach.

The empty Chateau is a shame but we hope that will be sorted soon. The neglected buildings in the village on both sides of Bruce Road is not a good look.

Unfortunately the unit we stayed in was infested with ants which were in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. We awoke to find them in our beds and crawling all over us. Most unpleasant experience. I advised the manager but he didn't really apologise and I believe he was aware of the situation. His response was that he would need to get a pest controller in. I felt he didn't believe us, but we showed the cleaners and they were shockewd.
