For starters, french doors opening from your room onto an expanse of lawn leading down to a beautiful lake is so far removed from your typical sterile hotel room it's like like a holiday resort tonic ... and the view from the bathroom is a brilliant concept! We were there for a family birthday celebration and it was a great... More

The condominiums at the hotel are a great places for families. I love how it's situated right on the lake front. Though spa pools would make for a great addition after a dip in the lake. As a side note Okere falls cafe (down the road) has amazing blueberry pancakes! More

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay. Room was spacious with King size bed and overlooking lake. Very comfortable. We checked out the Okere Falls Store (5 mins drive) as a cheap lunch alternative. Hotel restaurant looked nice but did not eat there as we were on a budget, but sampled a few food items (room service) which were delicious. Really... More

We had one of the units of the time share resort, Everything was great. Only comment was some traffic noise with the back bedroom facing the road, however i don't think this would affect the hotel as it is further from the road. Regard to the spar pools, I advise a sail shade or pergola roof to shelter from the... More

First off ... it's now Amora Lake Resort Okawa Bay. Though the name/mgmt changed in February, I received no notification of the change, and drove by the hotel several times, before pulling in.

The room was musty,killed a large cockroach, the electric jug did not work , and the standard lamp bulb was blown. It took several hours for these items to be rectified.. The service was very casual. Bar and restaurant prices high. whilst the setting is very pleasant we would not stay here again. More

My partner and I have been meaning to stay at the Duxton for a while, and it didn't disappoint. We went for a night srtay in one of the superior lake view rooms. The room was clean and tidy, on the second floor with a view over Okawa bay. The king bed was comfortable, and the Hotel quiet, giving a... More

we stayed for one night at the duxton in december. it was a lovely place to stay on our way further north. we had a nice room, quite small but with a lovely bathroom. it overlooked the lake so that was nice. The downside of this hotel for some would be that is quite remote and no cafes or restaurants... More

Having stayed in numerous quality hotels over the years I can honestly say that I enjoyed my 3 day stay at the Duxton Okawa Bay best of all. We had a great room looking onto Lake Rotoiti which was lovely to wake up to in the morning. The restaurant served high quality food both at breakfast and dinner and all... More
