“ We had the best time at Peeks of Pirongia. The spa alone is enough of a reason to visit, but the rest of the facility also exceeded expectations. We stayed in the midst of a storm but still managed to keep cosy, with the tent providing ample warmth, shelter, comfort and security. We'd definitely stay again. ”
