Overall, my stay at the resort was fantastic! The beautiful Tawa Tree Hut provided stunning forest and ocean views, making for a peaceful retreat. The staff truly made our family weekend special with their attentive service, but I did encounter some issues with my dinner reservation, and the dining environment could use better management during busy times. Still, it's definitely a place I would return to for its charm and comfortable amenities.

I had a wonderful last-minute escape at this resort, nestled among serene trees, which provided a truly peaceful getaway. My room felt luxurious and private, with a stunning balcony that made relaxation easy. The dining experience was quite good; however, I found the coffee to be lacking in flavor. While the steep location added to the charm, it might not be convenient for everyone. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a retreat, though with a couple of minor setbacks.

My stay at the resort was absolutely wonderful, enveloped in nature with stunning views and a unique and tranquil atmosphere. The accommodations were quite spacious and featured a luxurious bathtub, perfect for relaxation. However, the dining experience was a letdown with limited choices and overly pretentious preparations that didn't quite meet the standards set by the beautiful surroundings. Additionally, accessibility to various areas of the resort can be challenging due to the steep paths.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, enjoying the beautiful bushland surroundings and the overall improvements since my last visit. The rooms were beautifully presented, offering a cozy cabin feel, though the dining experience fell a bit short in value for what was offered. The staff, particularly Chanel, made the experience memorable with their exceptional service. However, the behavior of a certain food and beverage manager cast a shadow on an otherwise pleasant experience.

Set on a hillside, the location amidst the trees provided beautiful views and a serene atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a coffee on the private deck.
Dining

The dining experience was enjoyable but a bit pricey for what was offered, especially considering the underwhelming quality of some dishes. The surprise costs, particularly for specialty drinks, were a letdown.
