One of the nicest hotels I have stayed in, fantastic food and very relaxing experience. My only complaint is that the LED lights always glow when you switch the lights off, so there should be a master switch or a light cover on the lights.

The owners are lovely people. The room was the cleanest room we ever stayed at. There are no common walls between the suits so pretty quiet. Parking is right in front of the room which makes it taking things in and out of the car easy. Beds were comfortable and each bed had an electric blanket. Aircon took only 2 minutes to warm up the room. The only downside was having only one sink between the toilet, shower and kitchen. The same sink is used for washing hands, brushing teeth and washing...

This accommodation was just what I needed. close to where I needed to go. Looked recently upgraded. Great basic amenities that allowed me to self cater my meals.
Warm room and comfortable bed.

You want top allow a full day (and 2 nights) to explore the adjacent peninsula, as the roads are slow and windy but the forests and ocean views and experiences are fantastic. Thanks Garth for the different recommendations about where best to explore. We avoided the theme parks in Rotorua and enjoyed Orakei thermals. Paeroa has some interesting antique stores and the adjacent gorge and gold mine were very pretty.

this is excellent accomodation for Hamilton. It worked well for us for holiday/visiting Hamilton Gardens but being so close to the hospital would be excellent for people needing nearby accomodation. Parking is easy; design of rooms etc excellent, team great. we understand the owner designed this himself (from experience as a traveller) -he has done a brilliant job-one of the best accomodations of this type we have stayed in for its clever room design, great bathroom, safety, view, layout, light ...

Just around the corner from Waikato stadium the position of the Bella Vista could be a rugby lover's dream!
Friendly welcome, excellent accommodation. We had the luxury of 2 rooms, generous toiletries in the bathroom plus a well fitted-out kitchen area with everything we needed for mealtimes.The beds were large and very comfortable. Free parking and excellent Wi-Fi too.
We had a 2 night stay and would have been happy to stay longer. Recommended.
