10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay. The room was clean, spacious, and well appointed with all the amenities we needed. Make sure to double-check whether you require two beds or a king bed, as the staff are happy to accommodate your preference. The food at the restaurant was amazing, and while the pool itself was nice, the view was absolutely stunning. The staff were exceptional—friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The only minor downside was mosquitoes gathering near the front door when the light was on, so keeping the door closed helps. Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely be returning.

Good but food prices overpriced.

Lovely place but whilst food was delicious prices in the bar and restaurant are well over priced for what you get. Nice fish and chips down the road which is way cheaper to eat.

The staff were just so friendly/ assisted with any issues/ booking changes, and was just a real pleasure to be stay there. The property is a real credit to everyone involved!

The superior room is a Quiet place with awesome views for couples and if you do not mind sharing the bed with one child, the room suits you too. The staff is very nice and friendly and will handle your requests. Book a dinner table in advance; otherwise, eating in the bar is a good choice.

Beautiful place. Room was amazing. Bathroom could have done with an update . But who sleeps in a bath 😂 . We had a meal at here and it was amazing I had belly pork and my husband has the steak. We ordered a bottle of wine that was $42 only to find out it was $27 in the mini bar . The bed was comfortable.and the staff where amazing and so nice fully recommended

8/10 Very good

Clearly a very unique property, that definitely would have been in its hay day incredible. Situated amongst an amazing gold course with incredible views, set in large grounds, with swimming pool, spa and tennis court, plus a winery to boot. Sadly you can see the property exterior/gardens/maintenance slowly deteriorating. The rooms are huge, very clean, and a little dated as well. Restaurant for dinner (being a public holiday) was really good. Great staff, very friendly and definitely a must stay, see and do as there are so many activities available also.

Carrington estate lodge room

Nice room with view over golf course. Had a stroll around grounds. Spacious room. Serviced daily. Clean Didn’t use restaurant, used bar menu to eat at for one evening, but not what was online available, only 2 options. Service ok.
Carol, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

price and quality does not go hand in hand.

the apartment was big but dull, but had a good view over the golf course. There was no cleaning the days we were there. The restaurant and bar was also inefficient, and not very professional. We ad planned breakfast there but skipped it after dinner the previous night. We had expected more at a place with that price tag.
sebastian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Disappointing

Room was comfortable and clean. Maybe needed some touch up paint. Staff were extremely cordial, just loved them Food was mediocre at best, steak not cooked as requested- asked for medium rare steak and it was way overcooked. Eggs for breakfast weren’t cooked as requested, by the gentleman working in the kitchen. Wine prices in the room or reception were great, we loaded up. Restaurant prices were over twice the price. Golf course appears to be an afterthought, bald greens, unkemp bunkers.
Diana, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The resort is not a luxury resort. There has been very little in the way of investment into the facilities. We stayed in Villa 2, which is a dump. The dishes and cutlery were filthy. The absentee owner has no interest in the villa. Also there are multiple legal disputes between staff and management and this is obvious from the staff’s attitude towards their employer. The resort is involved in other legal issues as well. We will NEVER return.
Gregory, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The pictures looked great. However, it is ‘tired’ and not maintained very well. In the restaurant there didn’t seem to be enough staff, one morning there was just one young lady serving all the tables, and taking payment. The evening menu is quite limited, we only ate there once as there was nothing else we wanted to eat if we’d gone twice. Breakfast was a bit like walking into a cafe. You were charged for every cup of coffee, unlike most hotels we’ve been to. On the last day the pool was a murky green, and we had to tell the management. We feel it was not managed very well. This was our first stop in NZ and we were very much looking forward to it, but unfortunately left disappointed.
