Great place. Loved the beef burger. One of the best I have had, and yes, it is halal.

Wonderful service, location and amenities. Our only grumble is a lack of bedside lighting in our room to allow us to sit in bed with our books! We did visit in the middle of winter so lounging around the pool was not really an option.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay as a family of 5. The soundproof room was clean and conveniently located at the start line of The Possum Night Trail Run. Facilities were easily accessible & it was a treat to be able to swim until 10pm. We look forward to our next stay!

It can be hit and miss staying places at the lower cost end of the spectrum but Wairakei was amazing. It was clean and really nice, everything worked and the rooms were great. The kids loved the pool and the location to town was awesome. Really ideal for anyone with kids

I recently stayed two nights at Waitakei Resort and had a wonderful experience. The surroundings were incredibly peaceful and scenic, offering a perfect escape from the city. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed and a lovely view.
The staff were friendly and attentive, always willing to help with any request. I especially enjoyed the resort’s natural hot springs — a highlight of the stay. The food at the on-site restaurant was delicious, with plenty of options and fresh ingredients.
Overall, I would highly recommend Waitakei Resort for anyone looking for a relaxing and refreshing getaway. I hope to visit again soon!

Location is ok, 5 mins out of town but it does have good facilities and activities for families. We used the Basketball and Squash courts and the two pools alot. Staff were great and responded quickly to any requests.
