Waipapa Resorts

"I travel often for work. This was the best location I've stayed at. Lovely owner, beautiful room, and a very friendly cat to keep me company. Thank you Jinxy and Mark! "

"Very nice. We were in the newer section in the back - the space worked for us. Overall the hotel is fine - we ate dinner there once. Sat on the porch which was a little cold - they have plastic curtains to close it off (to a degree) and radiant heaters. Seems like they were a bit light on staffing - saw only 2 waitstaff - so they had a hard time keeping up. We were there at the end of the season (mid April) so I need to cut them some slack. Russell is nice and peaceful, but quite small. Stayed for 3 nights which was probably one night too long."

"Was definitely in low season. Paid for breakfast, none to be found. No employees. Pool area locked up after dinner. Disappointed."

"The unit was clean, in good condition, and the bed was comfortable. Getting in the unit was no problem. We would stay here again."

"Great rooms in the Blue Dolphin block"

"Great resort no gym and sauna"

"Clean room. Staff were so kind, helpful & knowledgeable, nothing was to much trouble for them. Pool area was clean & tidy. The pool & hottub was lovely & warm. Would definitely stay again."

"Staff were awesome, breakfast was amazing. Thanks so much"
