Waihi

"The location is beautiful and only a short drive to Waihi where I spent 2 days working The arrival is confusing with no clear signage to say where reception is. The website says check in available till 9 pm but I had received 3 voice messages at approx 5.30 pm to ask what time I was arriving. The access to my accommodation was through lawn with no designed driveway access. There was no working Tv and a rude sign saying that was because guests had caused the problem While the sheets...

8. Smokebush Cottage with WIFI

Turangi

"The owner messaged me before our stay asking for my email so I could pay via paypal. I told him we had already paid for the room on hotels.com, but he said that was incorrect. I finally convinced him that I had paid the nightly fee, just not the cleaning or linen fees. At this point I was concerned it was a scam so I checked with hotels.com and they confirmed that it was in fact legitimate. However, they encourage guests not to pay outside of their website until check-in, so I waited until we...

Millennium Hotel and Resort Manuels Taupō

8/10 Good

"Lovely room on the lake with an outside table which was perfect place to sit and watch the world go by. The bathroom is now quite dated, but spacious and functioned well. Very comfortable bed. Staff were not very welcoming at reception. We arrived at 1.30 and told room would not be ready until 3. They did not check to see if it was ready or offer to keep our luggage, but suggested we go to the bar and have a drink and wait. When we arrived back 3 hours later with all our luggage to check in we were told we had to go back into the car park and walk to the end of the building and enter by another door. There was an internal corridor that would have been much easier to roll our luggage on but that was not suggested to us. Dinner in the restaurant was pleasant. I requested a second glass of wine which did not appear so I asked another staff member to check where it was. Both of them added the glass of wine to the bill, so that had to be resolved when the bill was presented for signing. Great location, service and presentation could both be improved."
