Relaxing and Child Friendly

Pros: Food, Pool, location and price
Cons: Pool bar, changing room at the pool. Sign says changing room but just toilets
Location: Good location close to amenities and easy to find. Local attractions nearby.
We enjoyed a very relaxing three day stay over the long weekend. Kids eat for free a big draw card. Pool and spa facilities great. Rooms very spacious and comfortable. Unlimited wifi very handy.

Awesome Birthday Stay

Took my Wife and two daughters (6&8) for a two night stay for my birthday and had such a great time! The facilities were excellent, and we just about didn’t get out of the swimming pool all weekend. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful and were a huge hit with the little girls! However what really made it for me was the staff. They were so pleasant, efficient and helpful and no request was a hassle. As a family on a tight budget we certainly weren’t made to feel like second class citizens like some places, they made us feel welcome and at home, and considering I was born in Rotorua that meant a lot. I couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough! Thank you for a great birthday guys!!!

Lovely hotel and very friendly staff

Amazing place. The room was perfect for my families needs. The pool and spa was just what my girls wanted. Helped to keep them entertained. Free breakfast for kids - my girls thought it was Christmas. Nice variety to choose from. Great location, just outside the busyness of the township. Would definitely stay there again Thank you
