    Nice “old style” resort hotel, near the lake and all restaurants and bars. Friendly staff, good parking, updated bathroom, good size room and balcony. Not sure why it’s only a 3 star, way better than some 4 star hotels.

    The team were so friendly and such fun to talk to. The evening meal was wonderful and the rooms were understated luxury and comfort. Just a 4 minute walk to the Air Force Museum which was a real gem. A lovely end to our New Zealand vacation. Thank you Team Wigram.

    The location could not be better, its like 300 metres from the centre of town. The fitout, bedding, aircon was just great. I cant speak highly enough of this place and is a must book. It felt a little bit luxury and would be a great romantic get away for two.

    What a beautiful resort. There's everything you want in a luxury resort, the location is stunning. Sad I didn't have enough time to fully enjoy it. The dining room manager was exceptionally helpful and found us a table in the fully booked restaurant.
