Needs some work to be a truly successful stay.

Good location and easily accessible.

There were 2 sliding windows in the bathroom leading to the outside that weren't lockable in any way. Completely unsecured for anybody to crawl through. Also, only a chain on the front door but no dead bolt (perhaps a preference but still a security concern). The hot tub isn't always filled with cover, but instead was retrofitted with a sink tap faucet (!!) and takes 40 mins to fill up. The bathroom adjoins the hot tub area and just felt dated. More like a gym shower than a home. Bed's heated mattress had a hard lump at the head of the bed so you're rolling onto it constantly (not comfortable). I know these ladies are trying their best to run a boutique establishment, and I hate to neg on a small business! There's just a lot of work needed on this motel still and considering we paid $20 more to stay at a much nicer hotel up the street, pricing for what you get should be revisited.

It was a nice quiet stay, the spa bath was a beautiful way to end the night.

I didn’t order breakfast but overall the stay was nice. The stuff was amazing and so kind. The room we stayed in was small and cozy perfect for a couple. They had a heated pool and our room had a private spa which my partner had a tutu on and we couldn’t turn it off and had to ask the stuff to help us turn it off 😂 but overall it was a beautiful stay. They had a play room with a ping pong table and a mini golf course.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like. It was a nice room with everything you needed in there.

Awesome stay

The rooms were neat and tidy and upto our expectations.....and it was nice and quite....the pool was wonderful even the kids could enjoy it well because it was not too deep and safe for the kids...

It would have been wonderful if there was an oven or something to grill.

An excellent location, with extremely hospitable staff and lovely amenities.

Staff were extremely welcoming, happy to chat, share ideas and were genuinely interested in us enjoying our stay I also loved the idea of sending the service instead of the waste of having daily room service

Nothing. Everything was just right

It is a little bit far from the center so you need a car but that is also good because it was very quiet.

On a health and safety prospective non slip mats in showers could be a great improvement?

Worth the money! Thank youse for our night.

Great playground at the entrance for your little ones. Caroline was nice. The room was clean, the beds were comfy & it had a kitchen to keep our drinks cool in the units fridge plus the room had a heat pump that had my partner & i, warm and cozy. the sky TV had the movie channel also which was a bonus on a cold night in.

There could have been more drinking chocolate, only had 1 X in our room.

Comfortable room and great food and staff.

The cleanliness and welcoming staff were exceptional and the surprise was the quality of the restaurant food which were were not planning to use but were so please we did , as the quality of the food and drinks were well beyond what we expected and is the positive lasting memory of our stay. The hoists / manager was also warm and engaging and she made us feel engaged and really welcome . The roomed and facilities were clean and functional but a bit dated .

Decor and overall look was clean and functional but dated. The food quality aand menu if all dishes are as good as we experienced in the restaurant are far better than the decor and feeling of the aged facilities.

Passable

The staff were very friendly and tried to help with the cold pool situation by upgrading to a room with a spa.

My only problem was the swimming pool was not hot. I did not like how much I was charged for my one night stay. Way over priced.

Nice Motel in a convenient location for Rotorua

Very nice little motel. We had the two bedroom spa apartment. Nice joint living room area, kitchen and then two bedrooms both with ensuite. Private spa Jacuzzi outside the back on a small patio area, we didnt use it but it looked fine. Nice shared Pool/BBQ area outside, again didnt use it, but it was clean, tidy and water was heated (geothermal area).

Beds were super soft and hence very uncomfortable. All 4 of us had sore backs the next day. If these were firmer then we'd have had no problems there at all.

Great location, large rooms

Great location, close to the centre of Rotorua and a lot of tourist attractions. Large spacious room with plenty of facilities.

Room had a musty smell about it. Outside spa was too cold to enjoy and looked like it had missing pieces. Games room, mini golf and pool furniture could do with an update.

Convenient location with all the basic needs met

The shower pressure was impeccable! The room was spacious enough for two people and the air conditioner was nice and quiet for a good sleep. the lady at the desk was extremely friendly and just as welcoming as the adorable golden Labrador that greeted us on arrival.

Though I’m glad the place was cleaned however the smell of bleach was quite overpowering.
