Swimming pool is outdated.
I don't believe it gets used much because of this.

we only had breakfast here, which had a good selection, the sausages are not to our taste and we like our bacon cooked more, this was something we should have asked for as i am sure tgey would have done that. room was lovely, nice to have 2 arm chairs to relax in. The shower screen could do with a good clean or replacement of the trim across the bottom of the glass. We did not use the pool but this was kept clean and tidy. I did have a massage done by Brook which was very nice.

Phenomenal environment, you need to come to see it yourself: it is like you are in the city, but actually in the middle of untouched forest.

Assistant from staff was excellent. We were offered a room upgrade but enjoyed the one we'd chosen, as it had lots of room and was comfortable. The complimentary body wash and moisturiser was wonderful with the manuka honey and kawakawa ingredients. We loved the quirky scenic drive from the main road. Nice views of the city.

I loved the quiet surroundings. The staff were excellent - very friendly and accommodating. The bed was really comfortable. The room was excellent - spacious and had everything I needed.
2 small things I didn't like - the fridge needed a clean and so did the drawer in the bathroom.

What a hidden gem! Beautifully positioned amongst nature with fabulous views. Our room was spacious, clean, bright and airy with a gorgeous outlook towards Auckland city. The bathroom was luxurious. The restaurant served very nice meals for dinner and breakfast and friendly wait staff. We only booked for one night but would have loved to stay longer. Great spot to explore the nearby beaches of Piha and Bethels
