I used to live in Masterton in the 80's and remember this Hotel when it was Solway Park Hotel. Was not expecting much when booked into stay by my Company but have to say I was pleasantly surprised. the Hotel must have been built in the 70's but my room was modernized, roomy and very good. I enjoyed a lovely... More

Stayed here with a girlfriend and 3 kids aged 6, 10 and 13. The kids had the best time, we didn't even go anywhere else and happy kids means happy mums!! Golf driving range was alot of fun and cost NZD$10 for 2 buckets of balls, there were lots of clubs including kids sizes. The indoor heated pool was nice... More

We stayed one night at this Millenium Group Hotel as part of a road trip driving up the west coast from Wellington going through the Manawatu Gorge & we were on our way south back to Wellington. Our Family had a great time at this stopover, we explored the property and were pleasantly surprised with the variety of activities available... More

The Copthorne Hotel in Masterton is a lovely quiet place to stay - we shared a Junior Suite (two bedrooms) with my mother and found there was plenty of room and absolutely no traffic noise. It is quite an old hotel that has been very smart in its day, and there was a leaking shower head in the bathroom which... More

Stayed during the school holidays. Was a favourite with the kids as there was plenty to keep them busy with the indoor pool and squash court. Nice clean room, fridge overstocked though, hard to fit some extra bits in. Several light bulbs went and they still had not replaced them by time we left. Would stay though.

This was a really nice suprise in the Wairarapa. The room was great, and very spacious with comfortable beds and nice decor. Only minor suggestion is a larger TV as it seemed very small for the size of the room. I was in a room at the rear of the property near the golf driving range, gym and indoor pool.... More

Enjoyed our stay overall. Two comments. One re cleanliness of rooms - could improve slightly, as mirrors marked with handprints and windows grubby. Obviously not cleaned after previous occupants. Second issue - breakfast adequate but not great, as cooked items just warm, not hot. Both easy to resolve and hopefully the next time we stay both will have been addressed.

The outdoor pool is pretty cold and could use some heating but they do have an indoor heated pool as well - though this gets quite busy. Having two options might make for both facilities being better utilised. Who doesn't love a tepid outdoor pool during daylight savings months? I enjoyed a cold beer at the outdoor tables watching my... More

This hotel was nice and comfortable, great facilities, good basic rooms. Very affordable. The service was relatively slow. Great parking right outside the rooms. This place was a lot further from the main town than expected.
