Our stay at this resort was truly memorable, with outstanding amenities, including a huge heated pool and fun areas for the kids. The exclusivity of the facilities was both a pro and a con; while it ensured a relaxing environment, it also meant we couldn't invite family to join us in the fun. Overall, the value for the experience is unbeatable, but the price for day visitors is quite steep.

I had an amazing time at the campground! The powered sites with ensuite bathrooms were a lifesaver during the cold weather. The pool was warm and fun, and the staff were great. However, I did experience some frustrations with customer service when I faced issues regarding our site and pool temperatures. Overall, it's a unique place for families, but there are areas for improvement.

We had an amazing experience at this resort! It was a fantastic venue for our wedding week, with great amenities and entertainment for everyone. The cabins might seem a bit pricey at first, but the experience and value you get here is unbeatable compared to other vacation spots in New Zealand. Unfortunately, I heard from a guest that there were some issues with the service and the cleanliness of the showers, which could be improved. Overall, it’s a hidden gem and an excellent choice for gatherings with family and friends.

Our stay was fantastic, highlighted by clean and spacious accommodations and an amazing pool. The swim-up bar was a hit with the family, especially during our movie night by the pool. However, there were some minor inconveniences like the family bathroom design that made it a bit tricky to manage things with young kids. Overall, it was a great value for a family getaway, and we'll definitely be back.
