The place we stayed at looked so fancy for what we paid for which was a bargain. My only critique would be it would have been nice to have a microwave in there or a community kitchen to cook your own food as buying food got expensive quick plus the shampoo and conditioner wasn’t great so recommend to bring your own, other than that it was a great spacious hotel!

One of the best motels I’ve stayed in Rotorua that fitted my budget. The lady was so kind and helpful to me over the phone when I said I couldn’t check in till after 6pm. She gave me clear instructions on how to check in and had really good communication. The room was so nice to stay in aswell lots of space, warm, clean, cosy and peaceful. Thank you so much I’d definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again.
