Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn

2/10 Terrible

"A nightmare indeed!!! The most aggressive, disgraceful and rude ‘host’ in the world. He simply just lost his mind and got mad shouting at me to leave the property just because I showed him the car was not parked properly and that made it difficult for others to park. He even made up things to the police officer after being extremely rude to the guest first himself. Sure, you did this because I am just an Asian mother with my daughter there..You think no one knows the truth and what you did? Shame on you! People living in New Zealand are generally friendly and kind. Your behavior makes this world more complicated and hard to build trust. Room was smelly and dirty."

Baycrest Lodge

8/10 Good

"The unit was clean and spacious, well stocked and had a private hot tub outside which was lovely to relax in after an adventurous day. The larger geothermal pool was also a treat but not easy to get in or out for those who have low mobility. The owner was very approachable and helpful. Plenty of car parks but a little tricky backing out of some spaces. Enjoyed our stay."

Alpine Lake Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay with a family, plenty of room for a family of 5. Kitchen facilities were great, beds were comfortable. Very clean and well maintained. Not far from centre of town, good parking. Lovely staff, very friendly and accommodating. We felt the price was reasonable as well. We will definitely be back to stay"
