My recent stay at the Spa Lodge was quite enjoyable. The unit was very clean and tidy, and I loved the comfortable king-sized bed. While there were minor issues like the bathroom being a bit tight and some wear and tear in the apartment, overall, it was a pleasant experience. I appreciated the friendly service and the convenient location near the town center.

I had a lovely stay at this motel, which offered excellent value for money and a clean, comfortable environment. The spacious units provided a nice spot to relax in the afternoon sun. It's also conveniently located just a short walk from the hot pools and shops, making everything easily accessible. However, the shower area was a bit small, and the older style of the motel might not appeal to everyone.

I had a lovely stay at the Spa Lodge Motel, where I enjoyed spacious and clean accommodations. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore nearby walking tracks and thermal springs. While the decor could use some updating, the comfort of the room was just what I needed after a long day of activities. The service was truly exceptional with a warm and inviting host, though I wish there were more options in the kitchen for cooking.

I had a very comfortable stay at the lodge. It had a lot of room for our group and great kitchen facilities, plus it was just a few minutes' walk from the hot pools. However, the heating could use some improvement for the larger rooms, and some furniture seemed a bit dated. Overall, I found it to be good value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the hot pools and dining options. The rooms were spacious and equipped with a small kitchen, which was great for a family stay. However, my overall impression was marred by the service issues we encountered, particularly with one of the staff members being rather rude. While the initial check-in was pleasant, the interactions afterward left much to be desired.
