Wonderful stay in Rotorua--found this place based on other recommends and was not disappointed! Customer service was especially stellar, and we really enjoyed the private hot spring pools that the place offered, a real treat!

Nice property for the price. We stayed 2 nights. Wished we had more time to stay longer. The mineral pool was a wonderful way to end the day. Close to food and shopping. Really enjoyed our time. The staff went above and beyond with suggestions and info about the area. Will definitely return when back in the area.

Location is great, couple minutes walk to lake and EAT street, tho food there is excellent. We booked the family room, the only one left, room is spacious, has 4 beds. But the bathroom is tiny. Family room provides full kitchen, including microwave and ovens. $8 for self laundry. Front office has free laundry detergent.

Friendly place
Great stay. I arrived late and the key was in a noticeable place. Great property with the friendliest people - both in front office and housekeeping. I stayed in two different rooms. Unfortunately, I found random black hairs in both of them when I first arrived. Wifi is fantastic - and that was crucial for my stay, as an entrepreneur.

We enjoyed our stay but it was a typical motel. What was good was the location, and the separate bedroom for the kids. We didn’t use the pool or hot tubs. No issues with the service or facilities. However, it’s not a new place and there was a broken blind which let the sun in early in the morning. It’s also in Rotorua so you do get the smell… sthg we didn’t think of when we booked in the area. It was mostly ok but sometimes quite overpowering. Still, a good base for looking around the area.

Great staff! Great location!
Wonderful place to stay in Rotorua. Let me start with the staff: so incredibly friendly and helpful. They get your day off to a great start with their enthusiasm. Location is a few minute walk from town and plenty of cafes and restaurants. As an added bonus, they even have mineral pools on-site (which I have to admit I didn't try, but where do you find a hotel like that).
