Top Rakaia Gorge Hotel Reviews

Coronation Park

Coronation Park

10/10 Excellent
"Booked last minute, the host messaged and let us know the key will be left in key box and they left the lights on for us since we arrived late. Place was fantastic, kids didn't want to go the next morning. Only small negative was the excessively loud bathroom fan which automatically turns on with light but aside from that, would definitely stay again."
