Hotel berhampiran Lake Park, Morrinsville

I cannot even begin to say how much we enjoyed our stay. Great location for visiting local Hobbiton. Sue was an absolutely superb host - this is the absolute best place we have ever stayed in! It is one large house with three bedrooms, a living room and dining room attached to a kitchen, then Sue and her family live in another part. You feel like you are in a well loved home, but not that you are sitting in someone else’s living room - clearly guest only space which makes in comfortable and un-intrusive feeling. The photos on website do not do their rooms justice. All rooms are beautifully and tastefully decorated, with a farmhouse feel, but also modern extras (plenty of unobvious USB charging points throughout rooms for instance). We arranged a time for breakfast and when we came into the dining room, we found yogurt/fruit, cereals and juice waiting for us. Sue then brought pastries, more fruit and then a full cooked breakfast. Quite honestly, the most amazing breakfast I have ever had! Sue will cook a dinner for you if requested (additional cost), or can provide a discount card for restaurant in local Matamata, which we opted for - a great idea so you can see local town and restaurant was a fantastic Italian, only 12 min drive away. She also had an honesty bar and drinks fridge in dining room for you to use. On the day we had to leave, we left room at 10.30 so it could be prepared for next guest, but Sue was very insistent not to make us feel rushed out. So we spent the morning reading and relaxing in lounge, which was prefect before our next drive. Sue even turned up with coffee and homemade lemon scones! We seriously cannot rate Villa Walton and Sue highly enough, and would gladly fly 28hours from the UK again just to stay again.

Quiet rooms conducive to sleeping during the day since we worked night shifts. - Breakfast offering was the same everyday, and dinner menu is limited. However, I appreciate the friendliness of the staff from check-in to reception. - The pool isn't heated. - The gym facilities are limited. - The sauna wasn't working.

Absolutely one of the best in hospitality, Service, spacious and beautiful rooms. So caring and thoughtful whilst our stay as our Mum was in Waikato Hospital. They really went above and beyond, can't really thank them enough. Maree and Grant are superb hosts and we would refer them to anyone 😊 Thank you for Everything!!! Simon Bel and Boys

We stayed at the novotel for 3 night while I had surgery. The hotel is clean and tidy. The rooms are great with everything you would need. We didn't get milk but saw them on a service cart so might have been missed. The rooms were quiet but wouldn't say sound proof. The only issue was parking. We paid 32 for valet parking and it's was fine first night as it was kept in the basement but then it got busy and they took it elsewhere. Hubby was trying to come see me after surgery and he waited 40 mins outside for the vehicle. He isn't someone who likes to go back and follow up he hates confrontation and he waited till 30 mins then went and asked. Staff were friendly and there was always someone on the desk. Room service was good and hubby had dinner but was quiet expensive. I wouldn't stay again if I needed parking. But if I didn't I'd stay there so close to town and hospital

This was the most expensive motel we stayed in on our holiday and the worst. We had a one bedroom and a single in the lounge both comfortable. The roller blind in the bedroom did not fit right over the window so bright light from outside came in both sides and there was no curtain on the back door and as it shone straight into the kitchen lounge area the single bed space was very light. The kitchen was very small and all cups etc on a high shelf we had difficulty reaching. The microwave was above the sink at face height so often banged our head as we tried to do dishes. The bathroom shower was great but bathroom extremely small and no where to put anything, toilet shower vanity all in together which is fine but you had to shut the door to even open the shower or get to the toilet was very squashed. Also long black hair on the floor in bathroom and we are both fair! yuk. They had no where comfortable for 2 people to sit and was quite noisy by the road. Says on website about a cafe but we didn't see one and it wasn't mentioned by owner and we were there 2 nights. Overall not a great experience sadly .

We stayed early Nov 2023 for our sons wedding. The accommodation is very clean and everything there that you need. Large bathrooms and there was plenty of water and milk provided in the fridge on the first floor. The beds were large and comfortable. The venue for weddings is perfect, plenty of parking and room for large groups in the common areas. The reception room is perfect with a view from all the windows it makes a great backdrop for the photos. The grounds are very well kept and it was a delight to stay there. The staff are so attentive, hard working and so friendly and efficient. Check in was a breeze, very informative and helpful. The continental breakfast was very well catered for starting the day. Thank you everyone at The Narrows Landing, I will be highly recommending to family and friends.
