The accommodation was ok as we were out most of the time….. clean and comfortable bed but didn’t realise it was 3 star accommodation.
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.

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.
