The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. The accommodation was spacious and spotless. Location was excellent. One small nice touch was the little container of fresh milk offered for our hot drinks. Able to have a dip in the lake a few yards away Very good value and would definitely stay there again

Beautiful location on the southern side of the lake. The lake walkway is on the edge of the oroperty with two easy access routes. Room was large and clean. Staff was very nice. I definitely recommend this property.

Stayed here for one night. Staff very friendly and helpful and location is great. It is right on the water and easy to get to. Unfortunately our room was not very clean with the ceiling fan holding about an inch of dust on each arm and most surfaces were very dusty and grimy as well. There were a few insects inside including some white tip spiders. The interior is very dated with decor probably older than myself including the bed which was very hard and uncomfortable. Again for location and access to the water this place is good but will probably stay elsewhere next time.

Lakeside motels with great management
This was a great motel to stay with our small dog as they have a few pet friendly units. The owners are so helpful and friendly and the units cleaned to a high standard. The units are a little older. They upgraded us to have a small courtyard which we appreciated as we were able to keep our bikes secure there. They are situated on the lakeside at 2 mile bay right beside the bike and walking trail. We found this to be an ideal location. The sailing club is 5 minutes walk away and a great place to get a drink and pizza. They are also dog friendly. We'd definitely highly recommend the Cascades Lakefront motels

Beautiful property
Cascades was the perfect lakefront stay - we had such a beautiful suite that they were kind enough to upgrade us to overlooking the lake. Absolutely stunning views and friendly staff to make it that much more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip!

Cascades by the Lake
Great location, friendly staff and accomodating. The Motel is clean and tidy, but in need of a refresh which is being done gradually. So looking forward to moving from the 1990's to a more contemporary style. Understand some of the family units have been refurbished and are popular.

Room 21 is spacious with a high ceiling - view is limited - one side of the mattress was very tired, but the other side was okay - bathroom spacious and very clean - shower curtain instead of door (always a challenge)

GOOD OVERNIGHT STAY
OUR SHORT STAY OVER HERE WAS GOOD, AS WE WANTED A QUICK STOP OVER BETWEEN AUCKLAND & WELLINGTON, PLACE WAS VERY CONVENIENTLY LOCATED AS IT WAS CLOSE TO SPA AND RESTAURANT FACILITIES - BOTH WITHIN 5 MINS DRIVE. THE WALK ALONG THE BEACH WAS ALSO AMAZING. THE PLACE WAS A LITTLE DATED, ESP KITCHEN AND BATHROOM LOOKED A LITTLE TIRED. BUT WERE CLEAN AND TIDY

Staff nice and friendly. Room comfortable. There was a very bad smell in our room when we returned from dinner. Husband tracked it down to something behind the fridge. That was the only unpleasant part of our stay
