The property is older and showing signs of age, but it appears there are efforts to update it. There was quite a bit of traffic noise. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The pool was wonderful!

The facilities could use a little refresh but are spacious for a family of four (including teenagers). All clean and tidy. We didn't manage to book a room with a private pool but the swimming pool was a pleasant surprise (and heated!). Location is great but traffic can be noisy at times. What really makes this place stand out is the staff - everyone we encountered was always smiling, professional, cheerful and willing to help! Perfect for a last minute booking - we will be back.

we enjoy our stay, it was clean and the thermal pool and outdoor pool was awesome 1 thing i could advise on is where the tv is situated just a thought in maybe putting the tv's on the wall with brackets that can be moved into different positions to be able to watch it anywhere in the room. other than that loved our stay would recommend it to anyone who is looking for accomodation in tauranga

Shocking access to the property. The rooms were dark (no lighting) and worn. The bathroom in particular was in desperate need of an upgrade. Paint was peeling off the interior of the spa. Could hear the neighbours talking next door. Not up to basic market conditions.
