Great choice in Rotorua

Great stay and handy to everything. Efficient check in and we had our own wee patio and pool. Beds comfy and were able to check in slightly earlier. Would definitely stay again.

Shower barely had water pressure and could not get any cold water - had to hold washcloth to soak up volcanically hot water and let it cool. Might as well have used the sink! It’s also challenging to park here even with a small car. Limited and awkward spaces.

Overall nice, but not perfect property. AC was broken, management made it right, upgraded is to a 2 bedroom. Parking spaces are a little tight. A little dirty here and there.

We had a great stay at this well-maintained property with excellent Wi-Fi. We’re definitely planning to book it again for our next trip to Rotorua. The only downside is its distance from the main city, but overall, we were very happy with our experience. Highly recommended for families!
