I've stayed here three times and have had the same room every time - Room 2, second floor on the corner. It sleeps 5 and has huge windows which look out onto the street and let the sun stream in. It's lovely and warm and quiet and has a great outdoor spa pool plus a heated outdoor pool which the... More

Huge room, great hosts, close to most everything - maybe a 5-10 min. drive to Te Puia. Our room basic yet fully functional kitchen and two beds for ~$120 NZD. Internet was an hour or so for free like most accommodations we stayed during our trip similar to this class of lodging. No A/C. Bed was comfortable and made for... More

This motel is excellently located close to the centre of Rotorua, with shops, restaurants and visitor attractions close by. Our rooms had lots of space, including bedroom, sitting area, kitchen and bathroom, and were very comfortable. The motel also has a small pool.

This is a great place and a good value. Clean and spacious. Our room was right next to the heated swimming pool which was great for a little late night dip. We didn't have enough time to try the mineral bath but it looked gorgeous. The place was real close to the lake and a great little breakfast spot on... More

Stayed here with another couple and found the room to be spacious and good value for money. A well equipped kitchen also a bonus. Also enjoyed the outdoor spa pools and swimming pool. Pretty good location.

We are a group of 6 people (4 adults & 2 kids) that recently stayed in a 2-bedroom spacious unit facing the street. This place is at an excellent location very near the Government Gardens. It is also very clean which was evident when we put together 2 separate beds and saw that the floor underneath the beds was also... More

Instead of having to drive or taxi into town, this motel has a great central location, only a couple of minutes walk from shops, the lake, park walks, the Rotorua Museum and Gardens, the thermal pools, the Event Centre and the main restaurant street in Rotorua. Despite this, being back a street, the motel is lovely and quiet. You couldn't... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment which was very spacious and the fully equipped kitchen was a real bonus as was the seperate toilet. The beds were comfortable. The large pool kept the kids occupied and in the evening I could see them in the spa from the kitchen window. The location was fantastic - right near the government... More
