Can’t say enough positive things about this place. The staff and service was fabulous, the rooms were so comfy (we loved sitting on our balcony enjoying a cup of coffee and listening to the birds), and the food was great! Self serve laundry was an added cherry on top.

We loved our stay at Te Waonui. The staff were friendly and engaging immediately making us feel comfortable and welcome. The pre-fixed 5 course dinner was a fantastic deal and the quality of the food was excellent. The rooms are lovely and it is nice to have a pleasant view each morning when awaking. Highly recommend this hotel.
