Great place to stay a bit out of town but is nice as it has all you need. Great games room for kids as well as nice heated pool and spa. Food was great and daughter loved the chocolate fountain in restaurant for desert. Would recommend this hotel. Rooms were lovely and aircon was on a heat which was super nice at the time as was a bit cool.

Overall a most enjoyable luxurious stay - relaxing spa and pool, nice meal, heavenly bed with deluxe extra long pillows especially after considerable car driving. We also really liked this location of the hotel, being away from the city centre and its busyness, noisyness, shops and considerably more people, and with easy access to and from the highway.

This is an older property with not very personable staff, but our room was fine, with a nice view of the thermal springs out our window and right beside the Whakarewarewa Living Maori Village, which we enjoyed touring. The breakfast was exceptional.

Arousing aroma

Get the real smell of Rotorua. This accommodation is very close to Thermal sites. Within walking distance of major sightseeing venue. Roomy, good breakout area to have a quiet drink. Buffet dining available which was good value. Easy parking onsite. Overall good experience.

Lovely property for a one night trip. Great amenities such as pool. We were kindly upgraded but the room was near the pool so a bit of noise and we were worried about the midnight closure time for the pool but luckily no one stayed out after 10pm. Pillows were very soft and not to our liking but that’s preferences. Would be nice addition to have discounted breakfast for those staying with hotel at buffet. Decided to go elsewhere for breakfast

Good but….

Stayed in a Deluxe Balcony King Room. Whilst the bed was comfy, the room was showing bad signs of wear and tear eg bath & sink chipped/cracked, carpet coming away beside wardrobe, bathroom grouting discoloured/mouldy. Attention to cleaning not good eg found long black hair in bath - I’ve short silver hair and husband is practically bald!! Chose to have evening meal off A La Carte menu, rather than the extensive buffet, curry was bland, poppadoms & naan bread were extremely greasy. Breakfast buffet offered a great selection and was certainly very enjoyable. Very deceptive photo of swimming pool, much smaller than it looks in picture. WiFi signal good. Staff were very helpful and attentive.
