“We returned”

Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

Our Badminton team had such a great time last year we decided we would definitely return. The pool was a great relaxer after a hard day on the court. We were able to just relax in the heated outdoor pool. Also the units very clean and are in the process of being renovated and we look forward to returning again... More

“Very welcoming”

Reviewed 9 June 2012

We are glad you enjoyed staying in our refurbished unit; the first of many being given a new lease of life. By the time you return the area around the pool will have had a makeover too. More

“Makeover needed”

Reviewed 20 May 2013

We went to the Cleveland because they could accommodate a family of 6 (4 teenagers). We were disappointed with first impressions but we reluctantly took the room because it was getting late & thought it was better than sleeping in our vehicle (it was school holidays). The carpets & furniture looked very old, grubby & stained - the beds that... More

“Fully equipped, where families are warmly welcomed”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

The premises are fully equipped, as well as the rooms. WIFI works quite well, compared to other motels we stayed in New Zealand. The warm water swimming pool is wonderful. Although Rotorua city center is close by (reachable by walk), the place remains quiet. Most importantly, Brij and Ronette really enjoy welcoming visitors. Thanks to Brij's most pleasant relationship, we... More

“In desperate need of some TLC”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

We are currently touring NZ and our friends had booked a 2 bed apartment at the Cleveland; On arrival we were amazed at the lovely hanging baskets that adorned the whole complex they looked really stunning, sadly the apartment was no where near as stunning with aged fixtures and fittings and a smell of damp, it was in need of...

We are glad you appreciated the hanging flower baskets; we are often asked if the flowers are real. The hanging baskets will be changed next week for winter. Yes, you are right; the make-over of the rooms did start on the Monday you left and you saw the first of several tradesmen working. The 2-bedroom apartments are getting re-painted, new... More

The rooms were side by side, and the motel is well laid out so that everything feels convenient.The kids loved the pool and we loved that it was open for a good part of the day. The rooms are a little dated but very clean and... More

I stayed here for 3 nights with my kids who have severe food allergies. I booked online and further communicated with Brij to check on the kitchen facilities as this was vital for me to be able to cook full meals for my kids as takeaways are not an option for us. Brij replied quickly and professionally, giving full information... More
