Convenient location within walking distance from Eat Streat. Impressive facilities including a normal pool, spa, and thermal bath - this made our stay super relaxing.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was large 66 square meters, warm, equipped well. It’s in front of Rotorua lake, close to the Government House. We dipped in the spa pool that was barely able to stay in as the temperature wasn’t hot enough. So does hot pool. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. We will use this motel again.

It was an older property, kept tidy and clean as it could be. It's very close to the shopping centers, food joints and grocery stores. Free street parking also helps.

The staff greeted me with kindness and were very helpful. The rooms were large and spotlessly clean. I will definitely return, next time I stay in Rotorua. It’s a very convenient place to stay. Plenty of parking, opposite the Gardens and a one block walk from the main street.
