Disliked: Staff & service
We booked the family room and mistakingly put 2 people down. Owner argued that we could only have 2 people - no compassion as we had travelled to Waharoa for a tangihanga (funeral) - owner demanded we pay extra despite paying over $300 - we told owner we would never have booked a family room for 2 people only. It was a genuine mistake - owner showed no compassion or understanding of our situation. We had travelled over 6 hours to get to the tangihanga. Totally unhelpful especially when we were already stessed and sad.

we were definitely happy to stay in warm room with an 8mo and a 2yo, but the water through the kitchen tap ran brown for a while until it turned clear, this is not good for a baby which needs clean and safe water to drink (yes i was boiling the water). the shower took a good 5 - 10 minutes before it ran warm to hot, i do understand that if no one stayed in the room for a while this can happen but staff should have been checking this before having guests stay.

We found the cabins were not very soundproof and you could hear the neighbours in next room talking eepecially when returning from the toilet in the middle of the night. Was very noisy when they were at the kitchen area later in the evening

I found the whole properties facilities being good and not hard to access, I would say put something more in place for the cars up at the cabins as some had more vehicles than suppose to and also have a system that better makes other guests know to stop being noisy and also the cabin I was in the door kept jamming which made it hard to lock. I didn't like there were cobwebs and spiders on the roof an no vacuum or broom offered if your there for longer than 3 days. Plus beds were dusty on the top bunks. Suggest to have a better airflow for condensation.

We never got there as the function got cancelled through illness and our money wasn't refunded as we hadn't cancelled by the 10th February 2024 which is terrible as other accommodations offer a much better cancelation time frame I will never look to book there again and will tell people. Its time Opal Springs moved with the times .I gave 24hr notice of my cancelation so they were able to sell it on.

Cental to Rail Trail. The owners seem to have done alot of work on the grounds and working their way up the list of priorites & improvements for an older establishment. Although the rooms are tired but they are clean, and tidy & contain all of the necessities. Good linen, comfortable beds & pillows & all the cutlery crockery expected.

Would definitely stay again
Great service at check-in. Cabins were clean and in a tidy condition. Beds had pillows and bottom sheets. And with the summer heat, we didn't really need the extra bedding we had brought. Loved that 3 pools (1 large one with cool water, lanes and a slide and 2 smaller hot pools) were free for guests to use. Stayed here after doing the Tongariro Crossing and it was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We used the pools in the evening and the next morning as well.
