When booking our holiday we were looking for accommodation close to the town centre that was cost effective and provided cooking facilities. We were pleasantly surprised with how clean and tidy the room was and how extremely helpful the staff were. The convenience of the location was brilliant being across the road from a supermarket, green grocer and butcher, and... more

Our room was clean, however the decor was very tired and looked like it had not been touched since the 1970s. One of the chairs had a large rip along the arm and... more

We decided to take a spur of the moment trip to Rotorua over New Year. Since this is peak holiday time in N.Z. we decided to prebook rather than take potluck on arrival. This is a midrange motel in downtown Rotorua, with a private spa pool for each unit. It was clean and comfortable, with tea and coffee sachets provided,... more
