A guy entered our room around 2:15am. I open my eyes a little bit to see his face but I can't recognized it. I was so nervous and scared that time so I didn't ask for help from my parents coz the first thing in my mind is that what if he has a knife or gun that he can use to kill us. He sat to our bed where I and my son sleeping. After that he stand up and turn on the light and open the door for about 2-5mins and then he go upstairs where my parents are sleeping, I don't know if what he is looking for. After a few minutes he went downstairs and leave our room. After he leave our room I immediately locked again the door and went upstairs to wake up my father and I told him that there is another person who entered our room. My father immediately went to reception but no one is on duty, he also ring the manager's number twice or thrice but the manager didn't pick up the phone to answer my father's call. So my father decided to call 155 at first and then the staff told to my father that he should call 111 for immediate response of an officer. The officer arrived in a minute and he also tried to ring the manager's number but still he didn't pick up the call. We went to our room with the officer and explained everything. Until now we are waiting for the update of cctv footage from the hotel. It's the first time I've encountered that kind of situation. My son was traumatized on what happened earlier, he don't want to sleep that time and he is crying thinking about what happened.
The receptionist on our arrival was very friendly and welcoming. All staff were. The room we had was very clean, comfortable and warm. I'd recommend this hotel to everyone heading to Whakapapa.
The only thing that I do have a gripe about is when we went to dinner in the restaurant. I had to pay separately for everything. Yes. Pre dinner drinks. Starters. Mains and dessert. But other than that. The meals were very good.
Great location, lovely dinners in front of the. Real log fireplace and great winter ambiance, tidy and clean rooms. We would be definitely back. Simple and exactly what we were after.
Great location and easy to find. Amazing views. Room cosy and warm. Spa could use a roof for when it rains. Restaurant was out of kids pizza for dinner could of offered an alternative.
We stayed for one night in family room with two single beds downstairs and a double upstairs. Hotel can do with a bit of renovation but beds were comfortable and room was clean. Staff was friendly and food looked good. Bathroom is small but shower was fine. Can hear people talking in adjacent rooms. Overall good stay as good location and services.
Friendly helpful staff who provided info on local area. Comfortable reasonably priced variety of rooms with access to free drying room after coming from snow. Will definitely stay again & highly recommended
Friendly and helpful staff. Would have liked a smart tv in the room and more spa facilities as only one was operational which meant there was always a queue. However we enjoyed our stay,the food was amazing, the restaurant's atmosphere was fantastic and the kids really enjoyed the dessert.
Good distance from ski fields. Great place to stay.

Rooms walls were paper thin so very noisy with some young folk next door. Clean and fairly well appointed although shower door and sink cabinet doors were both broken. Lovely and warm when we arrived which was nice. Spiral restaurant was ok but nothing to rave about. Service was friendly but staff were seasonal so not a lot of attention to detail. A nice stay and great positioning to the mountain.
