Lake Mahinapua Hotel

3.0 star property
7.0 out of 10, Good, (14)
"Loved our stay but found the restaurant and bar being closed on the Mondays a bit of a bummer and also the alcohol ban in rooms/on site was a surprise! However food was great the night we did eat there and the staff were all lovely and helpful. I imagine in summer it would be a great vibe.
Beach
just a stones throw away which was fabulous. Rooms were perfectly adequate for what we needed...clean..modern bathroom with great water pressure in the shower. We would definitely stay again"

Blackhouse Guesthouse

3.5 star property
3.0 out of 10, (2)
"Not as we imagined. Thinking a guesthouse as in the title thought would be welcoming…. Said breakfast included, it isn’t. You get 1 v small milk carton and teabags. Prob great for a group but squashed dead insects on the door of the loo, dust behind the doors and just felt like staying at a grandmas house without the welcoming grandma….we sent a message to the owner on arrival as a lock safe entry and 2 days later no response. Up to you but not for us, disappointed "
