Nice stay with shops and dining not far. It was nice having hot pools and slides next door for the boys, you do have to pay entry but discount if staying here. The accommodation was ok but needs some updating as a bit outdated, didnt have many bathroom amenities. Fridge and drawers in kitchen were stinky. Pillows weren't fabulous but bed was comfortable.

We stayed in a lodge and parking was just next to it. Bery easy for loading and unloading our staff. We left luggage for storage and picked them up after our visit to Tongariro National Park with no issue. The common area in the lodge is a little bit small for five adults to move around, but the rooms and number od beds are OK.

Excellent stay! Waterpark was just what we needed!

Excellent 4 night stay in 2 Bed Chalet. Room service was unexpected but very welcomed. Waterpark was open from 08:00 to 20:30 so great for dipping in and out around other trips. Discounted rate for customers but would have made sense for the option of a Pass to tie in with length of visit, but minor irritation. Overall totally recommended!
