Perfect location, on the lagoon with views out to sea and over to the nearby private Island. Close to the excellent Koru Cafe for great coffee, breakfast and lunch. Also very close to Blue Lagoon restaurant for dinner (great food, and location but nonexistent customer service). The Boatshed casual dining is also a 5 min walk. Best snorkeling on the island is 2kms away and there is bike hire option with decent bikes that we took advantage of. Stand up paddleboards, kayaks and a small swimming pool are on site and part of the accommodation price.
Friendly service from Dylan (son of owner) and other staff. Dylan kindly ran us back to airport after pickup, as I left a bag on the plane. Also helped with booking a lagoon cruise with Kia Orana - a wonderful day out. Good fan in the room and a nice covered verandah for relaxing on. Great outdoor and very private shower.
Chilled water in fridge for arrival was very welcome and there is UV filtered water freely available which was a nice change from having to constantly buy it. Would highly recommend and definitely stay here again.
