Book Totara North hotels

Just wonderful! Everything was great from location to rooms and especially the views. Mark was a fabulous host helping us with roads open, closures due to torrential rain to get back to Auckland. We couldn’t get out much but what a perfect retreat in inclement weather.

The room was spot less and was absolutely amazing

Lovely location across from the weekend market yet far away off the road to be quiet and serene

Parking was right in front of my room. Place was clean, roomy, and convenient.

I have given a 4-star rating, but if there was a 4.5 it would have been that! Everything was really lovely, the view, the food, the bed was comfortable, the staff were excellent, it was clean.... But, there were a few maintenance issues that should be addressed. The biggest issue is that the light switch in the bathroom is faulty - doesn't stay on unless you wiggle the switch a bit. I'd say either the switch is loose or the wiring is a bit dodgy. Either way, that needs to be fixed. Other more minor issues are: The curtain was hanging off the curtain rail in the bedroom, the shower would not drain properly (we fixed that ourselves by pouring hot water down the drain, but clearly the drain needs a proper clean), the shower rose leaked (I think it's the wrong shower head on the hose), the heat pump/air conditioner did not work in the lounge, it didn't work when turning on at the machine, and there was no remote control. Overall a very enjoyable stay and these issues did not detract from our enjoyment, but they should be addressed.
