We had no complaints staying here; it's basically individual motel rooms, which was fine as they were clean and sufficient. However, we loved the location. We would stay here again for sure. One thing to remember is to order breakfast the night before! More

Stayed here based on other people's reviews. Was a great decision. As most of the big attractions are this end of town we were in the right end of town. We also found out that our daughter did not like the smell of Rotorua so staying here was good and there was no sulphur smell that Rotorua is known for.... More

Thanks to Karen as our host we had a very good stay over for two nights in rotorua, having three boys with us we should have been here longer though. Both the appartment and the location is the best - don't worry and stop looking, this is highly recommended! More

If you're looking for a great location close to the main Rotorua attractions look no further! Big clean rooms with an option of breakfast or you can prepare your own. Close to main attractions like the luge, Paradise Springs, Agrodome and adventure area. More

If I go back to Rotorua, I'd definitely stay here again. It's on the very northern edge of town on the main highway and very easy to find. Although close to the highway, was not aware of intrusive traffic noise Rooms were modern, spacious, clean and in a good state of repair, as was the bathroom Kitchen facilities were good... More
