Can’t get new towel if you stay more than 1 night you have to pay 2-3 dollars to swap for a new towel bad communication with customers

We note that you posted this review after you convinced our colleague to give you new towels for free. Please understand that we have to pay the linen hire company for towels. Your booking information says 1 towel per person per booking. Thanks for your stay.

Amazing area with lots of hot springs and Māori culture. Convenient for the city centre and the room we had cooking facilities but there is a shared toilet. Toilet facilities were fine and the campsite felt safe. Would stay here again.

Hi Shaun, thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed your time here. Our basic cabin is a good budget option if you don't mind using the shared bathrooms. We do have some cabins with either just a toilet or a full bathroom, in case you want to try that next time you come. Hope you got to check out the hot pools and beach access! We'll be glad to welcome you back again anytime.

We really enjoyed private, quiet, garden setting. Spas and pool were lovely and clean. Beds were comfy On the downside, shower pressure was low and water not hot enough. Our milk and drinks froze. Someone else parked in our spot on last night. There was no cleaning and on new towels given over three day stay.

Clean and great location.
Great location just behind the lake. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Front desk was very helpful. You are in Rotoura so please take advantage of the outdoor steam oven! You can get a Dutch oven from the front desk to cook with. Definitely will be staying here on our next trip.

Very cosy cabins, a welcome relief from the rain that fell the whole time we were in Rotorua . Loved the decent kitchen in the cabin. Very quiet, Linen & towels were supplied which you don't usually get with cabins. Would definitely stay again. Only comment: some hooks in the area containing 2 hot pools would be handy. There was nowhere out of the rain to hang a towel.

Hi Sheryl, thanks so much for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the natural thermal heating, mineral pools, and the linens & towels.There are a number of hooks in that pool area - just inside the edge of the roof, to keep towels dry. Feel free to ask us if you can't find them next time. We look forward to welcoming you again!

No toilet/shower in room i was led to believe online had those facilities. Had to pay an extra $180 for the 3 night stay id already paid $350 for to get amenities and not have to walk out doors to toilet/shower. Buildings inside and out were like something out of a kids christian camp. Hot water was inconsistant. Never again
