The Adventure Climbing To the Pool
I did not see towels by the pool. Fortunately I had taken the precaution of taking with me a bedroom face flannel.
I wan't carrying anything up all those wooden steps, about twenty from our chalet front to the road at the back, another twenty up the second row of chalets to the hotel, plus one wrong turn at the Y junction down from the pool, and another wrong turn into the wrong chalet. (All wooden wrong way straight ahead stairs and decks, anticipating guests getting lost, marked with a small sign saying the chalet number and the warning, no exit.)
The pool had steps in the shallow end which was good. The best, practical pool stairs of any pool I'd tried, though the weather was not over warm in February.
I could not get any pump action from the outdoor spa. But it was uncovered and easy to get into.
I had managed to get in through the lift up pole fastening, which seems to be the latest thing, at least in New Zealand, which seemed to be the latest style, which I had learned from my previous hotels in January-Feb 2025. This was a challenge getting out, but another taller guest pulled it up and pulled the gate to let me out.
Hotel Facilities
Their room guide said they had mini golf. Not crazy golf but mini golf.
Chalet Bedrooms
Our room was one of many in separate chalets. A large number of steps down and parking on a slope. Not ideal for those who don't like steps. An interesting challenge. Our room chalet 41, had a tranquil view of trees, and birdsong. Pay more for sea views. Another guest thought all the rooms had sea views. We had come all the way from the UK and got no sea view. I was not happy.
We had a moth in the bedroom. And a cockroach in the shower room. So shake your shoes.
The breakfast buffet was for a group. Not us.
The food in the room all cost extra. The first hotel of the six we stayed us which gave us no water or free biscuits or nibbles on arrival.
We checked out early, at the required 10 am and breakfasted elsewhere.
