Nice staff and property, but was obviously in need of a re vamp

Was very well presented and the staff were excellent! I would highly recommend staying there!!

Room was very light and airy and bed was clean and comfy but the bathroom floor was dirty and very dated. The living area curtains were sitting on the floor and were covered in mildew. The sofa was comfortable on one side and rock hard on the other. The restaurant food was nice but the menu was very small.

The place was really nice. Quite big and quiet and comfortable. The only things wrong is the water pressure is terrible and the hot water didn’t stay hot very long. And the driving range was closed. Great staff though. And the food was great at the 19th hole.

Jass, from reception, was great.

Stayed at the Rydges Formosa for 2 nights in the 2 bedroom villa which is actually just 2 interconnecting rooms so no actual separate lounge room. The accommodation itself is a bit tired and the rest of the offering isn’t particularly centred around resort guests, eg., I had to call reception 4 times before I got a hold of someone to come and unlock the door between our rooms to make it into the ‘2 bedroom villa’. Breakfast was a very basic buffet, on the Sunday so many things ran out and they were very slow to replenish. The only thing really worthwhile are the views out over the golf course and harbour - which were stunning.

Arrived after 11 pm had to get out of my car twice to get them to open the gate. Then after checking in no help to find my cabin… drove around for ages trying to find my cabin.. the lighting was rubbish so couldn’t see the room numbers at night. Staff seemed unwilling to help

Room needed a bit of TLC, bed side table dusty and tiles in the bathroom were cracked.

Excellent restaurant with great food, good bar. Room itself is huge and really well equipped. Only missing thing is a microwave for preparing something if not keen to go to the restaurant.

Bathrooms are tired which cracked tiles and not as clean as they should be.

We initially encountered a hiccup because the door of our room was jammed and we couldn’t get in. Eventually we were offered a new room and we were upgraded to a different room. Although the new room was clean, there were some cellar spiders around the room. Wasn’t a big deal for us - just thought that they weren’t expecting for that room to be used so it wasn’t really cleaned thoroughly. Overall, great experience. Love that it’s very tranquil. Will come back in the future.

Sweet golf resort 40 minutes from Central Auckland. Andy and his staff are great, the villas have nice views of the water, restaurant chef and food are top tier, and the golf course is challenging, but a lot of fun.

When we arrived check in was smooth - we got to our room to find a King size bed rather than the twins I had requested. This was a problem as I was travelling with my 14 yr old, 6ft son. The response I got when I called was initially to blame the fact I had booked through a third party site. Had I got a response to my request? Was I prepared to pay for an upgrade? I explained that I was booked for 3 nights and did not want to share a bed with my 6ft son. He then offered to check and found a room already set up as a twin. The room was clean, very spacious and we had a great stay.

We had a pleasant stay with a beautiful view

Quiet with great views . Very spacious rooms . Very close to beautiful boats and great restaurants. It’s one of my favourite stays

It's good

Lovely rooms! Highly recommend.

Was a little bit disappointed with the breakfast. The fruit choices was just an apple. I expected seasonal fruit sliced up.
