"Nice food and staffs. "

"Putaruru Hotel has been a convenient, easy and affordable stop for me on my travels between Wellington and Northland, close to the main road. It is good to see the property being renovated and upgraded. My room was basic, but newly refurbished, and very clean. The bed was comfortable. It worked well."

"Clean, functional, basic amenities, electric blanket....but room can be noisy due to sound travelling from neighbouring rooms and upstairs. Staff were very accommodating by staying back to let us check in when our plane had been delayed and by providing extra bedding when requested. "

"Very good."

"Very family friendly with a great host and absolutely beautiful views. "

"Lovely place! Exactly as described and very nice. Didn’t have to message the host once! Small warning: the house does not have AC. We went in the fall, so it wasn’t too bad, but I’d imagine that it could get brutal during the summertime. Overall, fantastic experience and a wonderful place with a beautiful view."

"Pros: Lovely property; we really enjoyed the stay.Cons:Water pressure in the shower was poor. Security concern: on the morning of check out we found an empty bottle beer on the steps are the rear. This was not there the day before. We were concerned if there had been a prowler during the night."

"We recently stayed here as we were flying in overseas for a wedding. The location was perfect, however that is the only positive. Sadly the listing was nothing as described. Communication was appalling ,we prebooked this almost a year in advance. Days before we were due to arrive I reached out and received nothing. I had to contact the help centre to find a number so I could personally contact the host. As there was 10 of us travelling we were extremely stressed and on top of that when we finally arrived, the rooms were full of bugs!We stayed in the room next to the main house and got wifi/ however the other rooms near the communal area could not access it. Our room had a collapsible bed in front of the main door so we couldn’t even access it, we had to leave our room unlocked as we could only enter through the ranchslider which could only be locked from the inside.The listing claimed to have a continental breakfast and a communal kitchen however the supplies were minimal. 1/2 a loaf of bread in the main kitchen and in the main house for 10 people in total staying for 4 days. Absolutely nothing to cook with. We had to purchase supplies daily. 2 days after checkout they claimed we had to pay “extra” cleaning fees for the linen as our kids left some food stains on the sheets and claimed that we had “broken” the collapsible bed and we needed to pay for it. The first night our son slept on it we noticed something wasn’t right so we didn’t let him use it. Very disappointing."

"Food was great! The area around the property was beautiful!"
