What Wendy Jackson likes about Te Waonui Forest Retreat:
Te Waonui Forest Retreat is a fabulous place to stay. The room was a surprise. Very spacious and comfortable. Walk in shower. I loved it and wish I could of stayed longer. The staff were wonderful. I was there for 1 night and the evening meal was the best I had on my trip. Breakfast buffet was also great with plenty of choice. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Quiet View all feedback.
