Book Independent Palmwoods accommodation from NZ$180

There are better value alternatives

Brilliant location, just across the road from the beach. Room had everything you needed and was perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wish I could have stayed longer.

A "resort" without the corresponding facilities seems was an odd experience. There was a time when the word Resort meant you were stepping into a beautiful place built on a large area with beautiful gardens, pools, spa, gym, massage and beauty therapies, restaurants and bars. This is not the case at Lowanna "resort". The studio room is small and pokey. Certainly not worth the rate per night. The windows open, which would be great however there are no screens to stop insects, mosquitoes entering the room. To have parking you must "upgrade" something else that a "resort" would not have as its policy.If you do not upgrade you park on the street. The rooms are not serviced daily nor are you offered fresh towels. This is not mentioned in the property description or at check in. There is a shopping centre behind the "resort"

I was super surprised at checkout when the 2 drinks (1 beer and 1 standard spirit) consumed the evening prior cost $39 !! Pro tip: ask the price first, then find another bar.

Overall property has a lot of features, things to do and beautiful lobby. The yard and pool could use a good cleanup
