We were located very close to Te Pua and we had multiple tours there. A three minute drive got us there safely. We made full use of the facilities (breakfast buffet, laundry facilities, pool and hot tub. The only negative is that some areas like the hot tub were in need of repair. We still had an enjoyable time.

This is an older property with not very personable staff, but our room was fine, with a nice view of the thermal springs out our window and right beside the Whakarewarewa Living Maori Village, which we enjoyed touring. The breakfast was exceptional.

Arousing aroma

Get the real smell of Rotorua. This accommodation is very close to Thermal sites. Within walking distance of major sightseeing venue. Roomy, good breakout area to have a quiet drink. Buffet dining available which was good value. Easy parking onsite. Overall good experience.

Lovely property for a one night trip. Great amenities such as pool. We were kindly upgraded but the room was near the pool so a bit of noise and we were worried about the midnight closure time for the pool but luckily no one stayed out after 10pm. Pillows were very soft and not to our liking but that’s preferences. Would be nice addition to have discounted breakfast for those staying with hotel at buffet. Decided to go elsewhere for breakfast
