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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
Very communicative staff. Loved all the nearby places they highlighted on their map and welcome packet. Location is excellent and well maintained room.
The staff are amazing! They know Rotarua realky well and all of the best places to see and adventurous things to do. They were really helpful at rearranging our white water rafting before the river closed.
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).
Had an amazing stay, will be coming back again. Great room, staff so friendly and helpful, love that it's eco friendly and centrally located to restaurants, city centre, waterfront and Government Gardens.
