10/10 Exceptional

It's very pleasant and secluded yet very close to the main road and therefore convenient. The grassy play area would be great for families.

We had a terrific stay! Our suite was comfortable and clean. The shower head broke and management had it fixed right away. Staff were kind and friendly. We will definitely recommend this place!!

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable stay with great location

Location is great! We had a comfortable stay and loved the private spa, but there's room for the cleanliness to improve. The electricity also went out during our stay, but the staff were helpful can got an electrician to come fix it quite quickly.

Ricco, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely. Not a modern, bells and whistles hotel but all we needed.. AND a personal spa pool part of our room. Felt like a typical hotel for 1950’s era that NZ typifies for me. Lovely owner/ staff. Thanks
Doug, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property seemed not maintained, spa and pool blocked off, games room locked . Lovely to have the Skyline gondolas and facilities within walking distance.
Elaine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is not a Hilton or Marriott, it’s a cute quaint motel. Something you would have seen all over the place in 1950’s and ‘60’s. The appliances are new and small but convenient. Room was comfortable and clean. The exceptional thing that really made it was Kitty the owner. She goes out of her way to see to your comfort and that you have a wonderful experience while you’re staying there in Rotorua. We are completely comfortable recommending this cute place to anyone.

6/10 Good

Very dated property. No plugs near bed. No shampoo/soap/etc.

6/10 Good

You get what you need. The bathroom was small with no counter space and it had a tiny sink. No hair dryer was provided. The front desk receptionist was very nice and attentive.
Yvette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a motel pretending to be a hotel. We were not aware that we were staying in a motel unit until we arrived. Good facilities above usual for a motel. Serviced daily when most motels are not, but it calls itself a hotel or a resort. It is a motel with good and rarely encountered facilities for motels but we wouldn't stay there again. We think it should front up and honestly admit it is what it is.
Neil, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Overpriced and shabby motel

The motel is pretty basic and a bit tired. Despite paying over $275 per night we missed out on a private spa pool. The games room and mini golf are not n dire need of refurbishment and there’s certainly no way any business would ever use this place for a conference. Its redeeming feature is that it’s opposite the luge. We’re the price halved I might recommend it but it’s a 2 star motel at a 4 star hotel price.
