We stayed two nights in room 11 (lakefront). Excellent location, nicely appointed room (very comfy bed) with a spa bath that opens up to the room and view. Wi-fi was $5 for 50mb which was very reasonable. The pool and spa area are lovely, and it is great to have easy car parking right outside the door. The owners Bryan... More

Made a last minute booking over the phone. The room we had was next to the pool with a really big lounge/kitchen, flat screen tv, huge comfy bed in the bedroom and a deep spa bath in the bathroom which was fantastic after a day up Tongariro. I would definately stay at The Reef Resort again, it is a cosy... More

The only down side was that we didn't get a room with a view - but we did only show up last minute and thats all they... More

Views to the lake and mountains are stunning. Rooms are very very comfortable. Lovely pool plus hot pool. The owners Keren... More

My husband and I stayed in a very comfortable room with a balcony overlooking the lake. The rooms are exceptionally clean and are located right at the waters edge, a short walk to the main town centre. Highly recommended.

We had a lake view third floor room, which looked over a couple of buildings in front so I guess lower rooms might not stand a chance of the view. But unlike some hotels where it's all about the view, this one was substantially about a clean, comfortable, well equipped, good sized, light and airy room with just about everything... More

We found it a nice stroll into town along the lake, about 10-15mins. Only... More
