Broadlands Forest Holiday Packages

We were a bit hesitant after reading some of the online reviews online, but we needed economical accommodation for our family of four during an 8-night stay over the Easter break — and Marsden Rotorua turned out to be a great surprise! At around $108/night, we were expecting the bare basics, but the location was super convenient and the facilities were much more modern than we anticipated. The room was clean and functional, and worked really well for a family stay. We came prepared with our own cutlery, coffee decanter, and Google dongle/remote, which worked great with their quality Samsung TV — perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The room also had a heat pump with heat, cool, fan, dry, and swing functions, which made it easy to stay comfortable throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful — they even lent us an extension cord when we asked, which was much appreciated. Overall, it exceeded our expectations and turned out to be excellent economical home base for our stay.

Nice staff and clean but I wouldn’t call it 4 star. Tired facilities. Also hot at night despite fan.

Our stay at Hana was very memorable. In fact we would rate the lodge as one of the best places we have ever stayed. All of the staff were both friendly and very professional. The property and rooms were immaculate. We dined in the restaurant and the meals were beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hana Lodge. Thank you to all the staff.

Don’t expect the welcoming committee! Staff need to work on their PR skills. However the room was clean, bed comfy, hot shower and great for a budget stay.

Convenient situation, have stayed there several times over past 10yrs. The hotels condition is getting rather tired. Found left over litter & dust behind bedside cabinet when locating a socket outlet and shower curtain was a little mouldy along bottom edge otherwise ok. No tea towel, cutlery & plates in the room The beds are very good, just the right comfort. Good shower water pressure, clean linen & towels, hotel service is friendly. V/good breakfast & service.
