The location here was wonderful, the services were good, and the staff were really friendly, offering a big room with separate bedroom and sitting areas.

We have booked cottage with great facilities. The room was spacious, and we had a great view of mountain. This location was amazing and favourable, short walk to the falls and the river the sea and amazing people and the East coast.

Plenty of options, outstanding food. Central heating, a microwave, and a refrigerator in the room and the very comfy bed. Amazing and particularly good location in a wonderfull garden, in the nice enough area...

We've stayed here before and we highly recommend it to everyone! the location is absolutely beautiful, and there's a great café nearby that you shouldn't miss. 🌟

The beds here are exceptionally comfortable, and there are convenient coffee/tea making machines, a dining area, and a seating area available.

rapaura watergardens in tapu was a true oasis of tranquility. our longer stay allowed us to fully appreciate the unique setting, private gardens, and warm hospitality. the 1960s-style cottage was cozy and spotless, with a comfy bed. sally and sacha were delightful hosts, and their passion for the place shone through. highly recommended for a quiet, romantic retreat!

Noisy possums on the roof at night.

The restaurant at this place has a fantastic location, making it easy to access key attractions, and the staff is very considerate and welcoming.

Outstanding hosts, amazing dinner, beautiful cottage and gardens, no wifi, refreshing and peaceful.

Nothing negative to say.

The value for money at Rapaura Watergardens was exceptional, with a spacious and comfortable room that had everything we needed. The location was perfect, surrounded by beautiful forests and coastline, providing a peaceful escape from the busy world. The hosts, Sally and Sasha, were incredibly friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was remarkable and relaxing.

The morning meal could have been improved with a greater variety of options.

clean and well-maintained; beautiful location. very close to Koru Cafe - where you can enjoy delicious food and treats. gained local insights about walking trails - gardens, and waterfalls in the area. outstanding service provided by the hosts - Sally and Sacha - who offer a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs and plunger coffee

Strongly recommend

The location of this hotel was fantastic. It was located close to key landmarks and attractions which made it easy to navigate the city on foot. The staff were friendly and welcoming, providing excellent service. The facilities at the hotel were top-notch, especially the fully equipped kitchen and the beautiful terraces.

The dirty sand-road leading to the hotel was a bit of a challenge to navigate, especially if you were not familiar with the area. The lack of WiFi in the cottage was a slight inconvenience, but it was available in the nearby Cafe during the day.

Title: A Unique Oasis of Nature with Delicious BBQs

Oh, how dreadful to not have Wi-Fi available in the cottage. How else would I share my fabulous retreat with the world?

Spent my Christmas in New Zealand and it was a memorable experience. the location was perfect, with scenic views of the forest and waterfalls. the food at the restaurant was delicious, especially the fresh eggs offered for breakfast. the rooms were spacious, well stocked with amenities, and felt just like home. the lack of Wi-Fi was a great opportunity to disconnect from the rest of the world and truly relax. the well-maintained gravel road to the eastern side provided an adventurous journey.

That I had to leave. I wish I could have stayed longer to continue exploring the area and to enjoy the peace and quiet of the surroundings.

From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The hosts were friendly and went above and beyond. The lodge was old but well-maintained, with timeless design. The fully-equipped kitchen and fresh eggs for breakfast were a bonus. The location was central, making it easy to access nearby attractions. The peacefulness of the forest at night was a delight. The lack of TV and wifi allowed us to reconnect as a couple and enjoy games.

The lack of information about the road conditions, especially for tourists unaware of the streets. It would have been helpful to know about the dirty sand-road from the east.

From the moment I arrived at this charming retreat, I felt right at home. The peacefulness of the surrounding forest and the stunning watergardens were simply breathtaking. The cottage was spacious and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. One highlight was the delicious dinner prepared by the hosts, Sacha and Sally, which left me craving for more. Although there was no WiFi in the cottage, it was actually a blessing in disguise as it allowed me to disconnect and truly enjoy the beauty of nature. I highly recommend this hidden gem for those looking to unwind and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the Coromandel Peninsula.
