Independent The Waterways hotels

"A beautiful location for a laid back vacation. Close enough to the village centre to walk. Lots of places nearby to explore, Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach, Cook's Beach. We were there in the off-season so we understandand, but getting dinner each night was a bit of a challenge with only one restaurant (which was off-site) open."

"Gantastic little villa, had a very relaxed stay. "

"It was amazing, I found everything to an excellent standard. I have stayed at a lot of motels and this motel is right up there. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. I would stay there again if I come back to Thames. You should give it a try."

"Hosts are just wonderful people!"

"Lovely unit with separate bedroom. Beautifully clean and tidy. Nice wee outdoor area and great parking. I'll definitely be back."

"I had an amazing solo getaway. The staff were lovely and really helpful. They let me check in early which was a nice surprise. I particularly enjoyed the heated pool and spa and the close proximity to the beach and pauanui hike. The staff also showed genuine care and told me to be careful on my way down from the hike as it can be slippery when wet. I would definitely come again "

"Excellent location, nice place to stay "

"Impressed with all the facilities and loved our stay at Top 10 Holiday Park Hot Water Beach. The location made it, I loved the beach and the opportunity to see Glow Worms at night. "

"Wonderful clean and quiet place. Will definitely be going back."
