place straight out of a fairy tale
“Te Aroha is a dreamy place with a distinctive character to it. The place was lush green post-rains.. hydrangeas blossoming all around.. the resort has been carefully curated by the owners. The common areas have cute animal figurines .. the library is well-stacked.. staff is warm and the dining area is a place worth spending time at.. admiring the graphics from the bygone era. The only mild downside was slightly expensive food for a stand-alone property. The linen and toilets are squeaky clean for the neat-freaks. Over .. two-thumbs-up!”
Excellent – Bliss
Have been to this place more than once and will go again. The resort in on a hill slope and faces the Himalayas. It is also a place for birdwatchers as have spotted several species of warblers and others here. The staff is excellent and the manager Mr. Devendra is very helpful. The housekeeping and restaurant staff also understand your need and provide you service with a smile. In all a great place to stay and unwind.
Very relaxing and amazing views
“Te Aroha has a colonial charm. View is beautiful, it’s not obstructed by any buildings. Staff is polite and courteous, always smiling. If occupancy is not full, they prepare food on what you order. The only minus point is the height of the beds, they’re quite high, you really have to clamber up . Also lots of stairs can be bit tiring for the older people. Overall good. Would definitely recommend.”
