I didn’t like how run down this property was. The mattress was so stained and grubby it had a vial smell to it also the service is not daily. ##### Shirley Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Garth 13 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I arrived in Auckland and left immediately in a hire car, allowing a generous 3-hour window for what is typically a 1.5-hour journey. Unfortunately, due to an accident and heavy rain, the drive took much longer. During this time, neither I nor a representative from Expedia could reach the lodge manager, which only added to the frustration. Upon arrival, things went from bad to worse. I was left running around in the pouring rain, trying to locate the correct unit—only to find the entrance gate was locked and I had no access. After a stressful and confusing search, I was finally offered a single room with a single bed—completely unacceptable, as I had booked and paid for a two-bedroom unit for two nights. Eventually, I was moved to a larger unit, but it was in an appalling state. The paint was peeling throughout, the benchtop and shower window sill were damaged, and the walls were heavily stained and marked. It was run-down, neglected, and clearly not properly maintained. There was no further communication from the management about placing me in the correct room, nor any apology or attempt to resolve the situation. They simply shoved me into whatever was convenient for them and washed their hands of the issue. Terrible customer service and a terrible property. I would never stay here again and could never recommend this place to anyone. It’s not always wise to choose convenience over a bit more travel. Avoid at all cost!!!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c277370-c4e3-43d2-b70d-34faa367e681-1749808991871.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3022b547-9780-4b76-a35e-059e36e52c13-1749808992013.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7df1d63b-3422-405e-b4f1-890897d8ea23-1749808991596.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4eda0157-390c-463c-ad8d-64e9fc7f44d2-1749808991847.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Garth Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Shelley 4 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### hospital stay ##### Shelley Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### anne 16 Jan 2025 ##### anne Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joni 10 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Joni Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Shirley 8 Nov 2024 ##### Shirley Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sandra 3 Oct 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels in Howwood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Howwood-Hotels.d6130550.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Trafalgar Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trafalgar-Square-Hotels.0-l508420-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [caravan hire turnberry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Girvan-Hotels-Caravan-Hire-Turnberry.h57265710.Hotel-Information) > - [Villas Seminyak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seminyak-Villas.d6047747-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels near Green Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Green-Park-Hotels.0-l507737-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Naranjas y Limones, by Homing U](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seville-Hotels-Naranjas-Y-Limones-By-Homing-U.h105626570.Hotel-Information) > - [macdonaldhotels Hotels in Benalmádena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benalmadena-Hotels-Macdonald-Hotels.0-0-d500652--bMacdonaldHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Karma Borgo Di Colleoli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palaia-Hotels-Karma-Borgo-Di-Colleoli.h57243768.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B East Didsbury Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Didsbury-Station-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6172834-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels in San Sebastian de Garabandal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-De-Garabandal-Hotels.d6358264.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Brooklyn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brooklyn-Hotels.d177851.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Ketton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ketton-Hotels.d3000431624.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Blu Hotel Natura & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folgaria-Hotels-Blu-Hotel-Natura-Spa.h4132787.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Potsdam Christmas Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Potsdam-Christmas-Market-Hotels.0-l553248621563232726-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Palm-House.h4127734.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Corsair](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corsair-Flights.cSS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars > - [Car hire in Elmo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Elmo.d6361446.Car-Hire-Guide) > - [SurPrice Car Rentals Car Rentals In Olbia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/SurPrice-Car-Rentals-Car-Rentals-In-Olbia.d2664-c1034.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities ### Packages > - [Durdle Door](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durdle-Door-Wareham.d6092145.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > - [Visit Pantai Tengah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pantai-Tengah.dx6058280) ---
