Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at Wild Kea, I found the environment to be quite tranquil, allowing for a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The spacious ensuite room offered a comfortable retreat, while the communal areas were welcoming, with a clean kitchen and a cozy living room equipped with free WiFi. I particularly appreciated the spa services; enjoying the jacuzzi after a day of hiking was rejuvenating. The complimentary access to the spa pool added an extra layer of relaxation. the hotel's location made it convenient to explore local attractions, while the helpful staff ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our visit. I would encourage anyone interested in a calming retreat to consider this hotel during their next trip.
