Absolutely fantastic place. The staff are amazing & so helpful. Food was spectacular, menu is small but that makes choosing so much easier.
Will definitely be back
Despite being on a busy road the set back location of room meant it was quiet.
The room and amenities were comfortable and clean. Pleasant garden area at the rear of the property.
Der Holiday-Park ist an der Zufahrtsstraße nach Russel ganz gut gelegen. Man muss allerdings noch 5 Minuten bis zur Ortschaft fahren. Russel selbst ist eine tolle kleine Ortschaft, welche auch schöne Strände bietet.
Der Holiday-Park hat einen Pool und mehrere Außensitzbereiche, die ganz nett sind. Ein Teil der Cabins hat auch Außenbestuhlung mit Tisch, sowie ein Lounge-Ei.
Die Cabins wurden über den Tag unerträglich heiß. Erst am Abend war die Luft darin zu ertragen. Lüften war nur schwer möglich, da man keinen Durchzug herstellen konnte. Da half auch der Ventilator nicht viel.
Die weiteren Einrichtungen wie Küche, Innen-Gemeinschaftsbereich und Bad sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen und benötigen etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Dort sollte man nicht allzu viel erwarten. Die Grundausstattung ist aber gegeben.
Da die Unterkunft auf Tankwasser-Versorgung angewiesen ist, gab es bei uns den Zwischenfall, dass wir für 2-3h kein Wasser hatten, bis wir die Inhaber informiert haben.
Das Internet ist auf 500MB pro Tag pro Device limitiert, was uns etwas störte. Der Park will hier zusätzlich Geld verdienen und verkauft Datenpässe.
Slightly tired with some maintenance due.
Too many emails (I think 9 in total) re the stay. When on holiday I don't want 9 extra emails!.
Staff great, rooms really good and quiet considering the location.
It would be good to get all the Sky TV channels for the amount charged. I.e it was missing Channel 7,17,21 etc.
ผผู้เข้าพักThe bathroom and room is tidy, but in-terms of cleanliness should have more room of improvements, as we still found some dust on the bed and in the bathroom as well. But since it's a backpacker style hostel, couldn't be much picky bout the hostel itself.
Kitchen amenities is great, and I love the common area there.
Definitely a go to if you have budget concerns!
ผผู้เข้าพักA suberb location close to everything and perfect views out over the bay .
The size of the suite was spacious and also offered cooking facilities.
A few broken things so I think maintenance could be improved, and we didn’t get offered under cover parking which I assumed was for the junior suites.
The swimming pool was nice .
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อWe had a wonderful stay at Sunlit Bay Villas in Taipa. The space is great, very comfortable to stay in, and the location is excellen. The villas were spacious, clean, and very well equipped.
The internet connection is a bit weak, but if this is not a major issue for you, it does not affect the overall experience.
Overall, we highly recommend Sunlit Bay Villas to families and groups of friends, especially as a stop when travelling to Cape Reinga.

ผผู้เข้าพักMake no mistake, this place is old. The shower plug was rusty and looked nasty. The carpet is dirty. I killed six daddy long legs lurking in the room.
But the service was fine, and the room was the right size if you want three beds (for the room we stayed in). The TV size and quality were also good. Oh, and they had a gym, which many other places didn't offer, though the machines looked like they were from the 70s.
Proceed with low expectations, but go for it if the price is right for your budget.
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อA good place to break one's journey from Paihia via opinoni and waipoura forests back to Auckland. Dargaville is a small town with several Asian restaurants (recommend Suphan Thai in town) and a Woolworth's. This motel is located in the suburbs - a quiet and peaceful area away from traffic. Was surprised that the unit came with a kitchen (stove, fridge microwave oven) even though the room description only mentioned a LCD TV. WiFi was functional but slower than other places. Bedding was good. We couldn't find a hairdryer in the room.
MMyrkStyrStayed for 2 nights with wife and 8 year old son. The staff was super kind and welcoming. Our suite had amazing wraparound views of the bay. Parking spot was free and right next to our suite. WiFi was a bit spotty. Comfy bed. Walk to the beach was 10 min. Wonderful cafe in 2-3 min walk. The town was beautiful as well. Short drive north to the hot water beach was fun. I really liked this place. We made sure to clean up and do our dishes as note said extra fee if you left dirty dishes. Would highly recommend.
ผผู้เข้าพักA return trip to the Copthorne - I do like this place. The bathroom again needs an upgrade and the fridge is too small. All else was good which is why I keep returning. Have never eaten in the Hotel so cannot comment. Bar staff are scarce and usually distracted. But I keep coming back……..a beautiful location, close enough to the township but far enough away. I will be back - in fact have already booked for late April 😎👍🏻 Enjoy….
ผผู้เข้าพักBeautiful place with very sweet staff, however the water was non-potable. Yes, you read that right— not sure how that justifies $300/night or if that’s even legal. The porterhouse steak was unbelievably tough for the price so we passed on the $30 breakfast as we figured they probably didn’t learn how to cook overnight. Beautiful room and setting, although the giant soaking tub could not be used (the water again). Won’t return.
