We were in Rotorua predominantly for mountain biking, and for this the Atsala was very well located. The apartment was clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. The owner (Ian) was very helpful and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. This even extended to providing storage for our bikes. Only slight negative was the noise from the... More

Ian offered great suggestions for what to do while in Rotorua. He was there when needed, but also gave us our space and respected our privacy. We stayed in the Thermal Delight room and found that it more than met our needs...having a washer/dryer was helpful. The view of the thermal activity was further away than I had anticipated, but...

Thank you for your hospitality, very accommodating host and great local knowledge. Enjoyed the large roomy unit. Location was good close to Redwood forest and a few minutes from the city. Happy to recommend Atsala to anyone.

Our worst accommodation experience ever, in over twenty years of travelling around the globe. As another reviewer has suggested, Fawlty Towers. On arrival the manager initially seemed welcoming, but also appeared to be inebriated - significantly so. He then demanded we pay an extortionate surcharge over and above the tariff - already unreasonably high for what we saw of the... More

A great place to stay. Close to the city centre. Well equipped. The host (Ian) is very friendly and knows Rotorua inside out. Let him advise you on how to spend your time in The Bay of Plenty and you'll have the best experience at the right price. Highly recommend ATSALA.

Lovely personal service how nice it was to arrive late in the day after delayed flight and crying baby to have a loaf of bread, cereals and fresh fruit bowl in our room waiting. Host really goes out of his way to ensure your stay is comfortable and looks after guests well. Thank you we've had a great stay!

Over the Easter break I stayed in the Rimu apartment along with my husband, our 2 children and my brother, his wife and their 2 kids. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay there and we found the place very comfortable and family friendly. The manager Ian made us feel very welcome and provided us with extra linens etc to accommodate our...

After making a phone booking which was hassell free, on arrival we were greeted in a very cheerful careing and polite manner . Then shown to our unit, while this was taking place the host Ian was subtley ascertaining that we had no idea of where to go or what to see. The next day Ian was like a tourist... More

Despite the fact that the interior design is not the best, Atsala offers an excellent stay for our family. The big comfy sofa and washing machine is definitely awesome. The bed is also well padded and big. Atsala is definitely an affordable and comfortable stay for families alike.
