We had an awesome stay at Arawa Park Hotel during our weekend holiday in Rotorua. The room was clean and organized when we arrived. The staff was also helpful, especially when we requested for a cot for our little one. The breakfast was also delightful! Overall, we highly recommend the hotel and we would definitely be back if given the chance 😊
