The actual stay at Kamana was good, and the view is amazing but just note they are doing construction right now so it blocks your view. Everything was okay with my stay and the Kamana soak was also amazing, although we had food poisoning from the food. We hadn’t ate anywhere else other then from there restaurant and we had food poisoning, non-stop for 3 days , which was how long we stayed there. And to note their food is very expensive as well, they sell very small portions of meals , which is not worth the price. Also to note the menu doesn’t even have pizza or any comfort food options, which limits your options. And finally, i let the staff know about the situation of food poisoning and they said they would take off the food amount that was charged, although they called and claimed they accidentally charged it. Although the stay was nice and the room was particularly okay but do not recommend for big families, (as the room is a bit small then advertised), and they do not provide enough toilet paper nor water . Other then that, if you are looking for somewhere to stay with a nice view then kāmana is great but i do not recommend eating any food from there, the staff were also helpful and nice.

Nice clean property. Friendly staff and great amenities. There is construction going on out the back which was annoying when trying to enjoy the soak spa. The construction could also be heard during business hours from the room. Plenty of car spaces but can be hard to get parking if arriving back later at night. Over all a nice property with amazing views and helpful staff.

We had the room facing the lake and it’s amazing! Definitely the best hotel during our trip in New Zealand. The hotel is situated 2km outside of the city centre so you will need a car. But it’s worth it. Clean, good service and comfortable! The nest restaurant also serve great breakfast and dinner! Highly recommended!
