I recently stayed two nights at Waitakei Resort and had a wonderful experience. The surroundings were incredibly peaceful and scenic, offering a perfect escape from the city. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed and a lovely view.
The staff were friendly and attentive, always willing to help with any request. I especially enjoyed the resort’s natural hot springs — a highlight of the stay. The food at the on-site restaurant was delicious, with plenty of options and fresh ingredients.
Overall, I would highly recommend Waitakei Resort for anyone looking for a relaxing and refreshing getaway. I hope to visit again soon!
They are all very good. It would be perfect if they had a private bathroom. However, this is the only room we can book in that area, so we are very grateful!
Service was good. Amenities ok. Decor a bit dated but location excellent for view, peace & quiet.
Meals & Accommodation were priced for overseas visitors. Distance to Eateries long walk.
3/5 ⭐️
The front desk lady was very nice. We had two rooms to choose from. There is a farm around, with goats, sheep, cows, ostriches, and a pig. One star is given to the pig, who was super friendly and purred as soon as we met. It is a good choice for those who want to see the caves but don't want to drive too far. The only drawback is that there are all kinds of insects in the room. You can only pretend to be blind as there are too many to kill.
The stay was very good and the food was great!
The aircon in our room (59) is very old and was making a lot of noise. We had to switch it off, there was no way we could sleep with that on.
Breakfasts were excellent & staff genuinely friendly & very helpful. The apartment was perfect in every way. We would highly recommend this accommodation.
The name may give you some illusions, but it is actually a standard motel. Many rooms are hard to find at night, but the location is good, close to the lake. The interior of the room is standard and the hygiene is good.
Breakfast is not delicious, do not have breakfast, there are ants and bugs in the room, friends in the same group have been bitten, must pay attention, the room layout is OK, the cleaning is also clean, the front desk brother is very handsome, the service attitude is also very good
Welcome was good. The reception staff were friendly and accommodated our request for a river facing room. Overall the service was just okay for it's price. For its price, I feel that parking should be included. A limited parking that can be reserved at $36 was offered when I called in a day before as well as a free parking further down the hotel that is not guaranteed. We availed of the additional $36, this includes a valet service. The hotel room design was as expected of Novotel hotels, but it was not up to it's best standard. The remote control and kettle in our room was dusty. Amenities needed to be requested, I did this in advance during booking. But there were no slippers in the room upon arrival except for the 4 towels requested. Breakfast buffet was just the usual fare.
Very Good

RRichard PollockDisappointingly average. Just small things but overall meant it was not the excellent experience you should get from the Hilton brand. For example, room not services until about 5pm on one day, running out of food items and cultery at breakfast and tables being slow to clean, and carpet to restaurant area needs a good clean or replaced (very dirty in places). However, staff friendly and quality rooms.

Rreturn visitorA tiny motel, has basic amenities. Didn't know there's a communal kitchen until we were leaving.
It's a good stop over point, but most of the town closes either early or has long weekends, so make sure you have supplies beforehand. When we arrived there there was no reception, had a number and person to ring, the entrance is a bit tricky ”around the back”...yep that's exactly what it is.

GGuest UserOur stay was really great. After a few little tweaks every thing settled in. The only issue we felt needing attention urgently was the....Ice-boxes ...in the fridge.
We would certainly recommend the Ramada Hotel to all.

GGuest UserThe front desk is on the second floor and it took me a long time to find it. The pretty lady at the front desk was very nice. Although I didn't fully understand what she said, her enthusiastic smile diluted the fatigue along the way. There are many restaurants around the hotel, even several Chinese restaurants. The bathroom is a little small, but there is nothing wrong with it.
