Great food
Mark van, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Joan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Large comfortable rooms, great restaurant, awesome location
Suzanne, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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 location

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

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.

Comfortable stay

Beautiful spot Good food The gardens are in disrepair unfortunately which is disappointing Room was huge and very clean
Tanya, 1-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.

6/10 Good

Staff very friendly and helpful.
Anna, 1-night trip

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.
Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The grounds and proximate beaches are beautiful! The staff were excellent and there is a lovely relaxed atmosphere at the Estate. Golf course was fantastic!
Niels, 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

10/10 Exceptional

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!

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

2/10 Poor

Stay away until they fix the water issue.

They told us that they were having water problems but we could brush our teeth and shower. Ugg, the water was brown!!! Who wants to use brown water? They also said they would provide bottled water. They gave us one!!! Dinner was fine, the property is nice but we left without showering. Didn't feel so good that day.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is in a stunning location. The villas are in a run down condition with power points that don't work and when I arrived I had to fix the blinds that noone had maintained. Worse was the state of the water which was literally brown, both hot and cold and wasn't safe to drink and dried out the skin after a shower. The swimming pool was cold. When we called reception it took about 5 minutes for an answer and sometimes there was no answer in the late afternoons. The breakfasts were unaffordable.

8/10 Very good

The Hotel is a bit dated and needs a refreshing. All the lights on the way to our room were off and most disappointing, the pool was closed due to an outage. This can happen of course, but any kind of compensating this, was refused. We would have expected any sign to adjust the loss of using the pool area. It is that that reception was not willing to do so. As a consequence we did not use the restaurant on our second day. This behavior is not a 4 star hotel behavior. That's a pity.
