Everything. Beautiful quaint charm, lovely designed lodge, peaceful location, incredible service and hospitality. The onsite chef is devine and the nicest person. The spa massage was one of the best I’ve had. The owner shared about his culture, family, special meaning of the property and even tribal wine. All in all if I could give this property a 20 out of 10 I would!

Room had everything you need for a few day stay. Location was perfect with a quick walk to heaps of shops and restaurants. Right opposite the lake. Friendly staff. Free car parking. Free WIFI. Laundry room Available. The best thing was pulling up into the car park after a few hours of driving with our toddler, to see the trampoline and swing-set - he was entertained for hours. We will be back for sure.

This hotel has a special factor in that it has a natural thermal spa in its garden! What a delight to be able to try out the 3 ponds next to the river, where we saw a visiting seal. All the meals we had were exceptional value and quality abs the staff were warm and welcoming.

Everything was excellent, except the Centennial Golf club pro on the morning of Sat 25th Oct. He did not listen . We had prebooked 2 weeks prior as a group of 5, which was confirmed at the time of booking then again on the day by the lady in the proshop.(no mention of not being able to play as a 5!) We were halfway through the first 9 holes and suddenly a man appeared introducing himself as the pro, and he was approaching us to tell us we were actually breaking protocol by playing in a group of 5. I tried to explain we had prebooked and confirmed 2 weeks ago as a 5 and then an hour ago registered at the proshop as a group of 5, and nothing was advised at that time, she gladly took our $300.00 with no mention of protocol! Just a heads up to the pro on the day. If you are going to enforce any protocol, then make sure you and your staff are all on the same page and your paying guests are advised at the time of booking. This will save any further embarrassing situations for you (the pro) and your club staff. It will also help your guests to have a less stressful experience knowing they have been fully informed of any local club rules

It was not on the main strip but in the waterways housing. Both super markets are easy walking away. Whitianga was alive and the cafes were doing good trade. We used the hot pools at the Lost Springs excellent. We used the BBQ facilities at our accommodation. Had breakfast at the local cafes down by the water front. They were launching the class bottom boats down the ramp. If we had more time that looked like a great activity

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids. Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close. Would love to come back to Thames at some point
