Location: gorgeous, with rooms optimising the view of the lake and mountains. Staff: couldn't ask for a better experience- they noticed our flat tire when we arrived and had it fixed by the time we got up the next morning! Food: very nice, and accomodating to our tastes and needs- the chef had formerly worked at Huka Lodge. A real... more

Comparison: We chose Solitaire over Treetops because having a nice view in the room is important. The best part of the hotel was the dinner. The food was fabulous. The mushroom soup and chocolate ice cream was the best we’ve ever tasted. I’d say it’s as good as Per Se in New York and I’d give a Zagat score of... more

My husband, baby and I stayed at Solitaire Lodge last month, and had a wonderful time. I've just read the other posting and can't really understand the negative comments made, as we found Solitaire Lodge to be exactly as we had hoped - a beautiful quiet getaway that was in such a special spot with so much natural beauty.

I must tell you that the lodge and service that my family of 5 experienced was completely different. First of all, if I recall, there are only... more

We stayed in the Terewera Suite for 2 nights. The room had great view of the lake but the lake was not itself very impressive. The room was comfortable but design not special and the walls were adored by pedestrian landscape paintings. Dinners on both nights were nearly not edible - the meats were of such inferior quality they were... more

Food is excellent. Unfortunately, it is a too big "guisness"! Too many rooms, no intimacy at all... I discovered a wonderful place 15 minutes from Solitaire, less expensive and completely private: Kuangukuangu (----). this is a cabin for 2 people, in the middle of nowhere. No comparaison for us! more
