    “This place is heaven, we both did not want to leave. We were lucky enough to have 1 on 1 service and the weather was amazing. Helen and her team did an amazing job of greeting us on arrival and looking after us both until we left. Nothing was too much trouble and it felt like being a VIP to me. I have stayed in a lot of places around the world but this is the best. We had the 5 course dinner which was so special and cooked to our specification along with some amazing wine. If you only had one day left on this planet this is where I would like to be!!! I can say no more.”

  • This is no Four Seasons, but it is priced like one

    Alberto · 2025-02-12

    “In no way this is a 5 star resort. Completely overpriced for the level of services provided. Staff members were all polite but definitely not well trained and transactional, food very mediocre. Spectacular location. This resort is priced at the level of an Aman or Mandarin Oriental-type property and it is very far away from that. Very disappointing for the price we paid. ”

  • Avoid school holidays unless you have kids!

    “We had wonderful views and a large balcony with delightful Tui birds inhabiting a nearby tree. Breakfast was inside or out on the same terrace they served lunch from. The walk up to the Lookout was well worth doing and we enjoyed kayaking too.”

  • Beautiful location and amenities, really let down by their restaurants

    Don · 2025-01-15

    “This is an amazing location with wonderful views - unfortunately the weather was overcast and cool for summer so no stars at night. The rooms are good and maximise the views. Ok its not really five star but good given the location. I do have to comment on the food. A few tweaks could have made a big difference. The beef was beautiful produce but sadly overcooked. and I would not call a bowl of cold brocollini and sum raw baby spinach with a simple dressing a course. its an accompaniment. And some seasoning, lemon or lime and chilli would have gone a long way to lifting my breakfast huevos rancheros to a decent level. I had to do that myself”
