– Nikkie – February 2024Truly a lovely place to stay if you’re in Rotorua. The rooms are spacious and clean, the view of the courtyard is very nice, the bathrooms are modern (finally, a shower with a ledge that doesn’t flood the whole bathroom!), and the service was beyond amazing. Everyone who works here is super friendly and accommodating – it feels like they’re all family the way they treat each other and their guests. It’s walking distance to a lot of the main attractions, and has a heated swimming pool and a hot mineral pool for all the guests to enjoy. We loved staying here!
