Besides the unique Rotorua aroma, we were very happy with how spacious our room was for the four of us. This meant we weren’t tripping o we each other when relaxing before bed or getting flames to go out. Kitchen amenities were perfect for our needs and the staff were helpful and friendly when we a so Jed for more milk. An enjoyable experience and value for money in our view. Thank you 😊

Need a deep clean

Large room and good bathroom. Sticky floors and very dusty room. Bed too soft. Overall condition was ok. Not walkable to town centre but it’s quite spread out
