Absolutely lovely service! The beautiful lady at reception noticed I was pregnant and thoughtfully changed my room from upstairs to downstairs without me even having to ask. Such a thoughtful and caring gesture that made my stay so much easier and comfortable. Thank you for going the extra mile! Highly recommend💚

Where do I start. This hotel was absolutely amazing. From the minute we arrived, we were impressed with our warm welcome, our beautiful room, comfy bed and tranquility of our view. Everything about our stay was fabulous. Although several kms from the town centre, the short drive to Rotorua was pleasant. It was lovely to be away from the busyness of town. Value for money was incredible. I cannot rate this hotel high enough. Highly recommend!

Exceptional. We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Country Villa Estate. Danny and Mabel were fabulous hosts from the moment we arrived. We were met with a warm welcome before being shown to our very comfortable room which was beautifully decorated and with everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was superb with different options each day. Mabel is a true artist with her delicious breakfast offerings. Beautiful gardens, comfortable spaces to relax, a truly unique...

What an amazing location and what an amazing hotel. The staff were excellent and friendly. The food was great. The location was stunning. All in all, a must go place if you are visiting Rotorua - only about 15 minutes drive from all the action.

Tucked away on the oft-forgotten east side of Lake Rotorua, this gem of a lodge enables you to get away from it all with stunning lakeside views, the best spa/sauna/steam-room/cold pool combo I've ever had and staff who are warm, professional, considerate and anticipatory.
The room was stunning, the breakfast was heaven ( please try the crepes!) and the overall experience felt a lot more expensive than what we paid for!
Do it. Try it out. I'm glad I did!

Arrived here during a big winter storm. Large unit but easily heated with one heater which we had to turn off overnight because we would have overheated.
The extra facilities like minigolf and bicycles weren't any good in the pouring rain, but would help keep young kids occupied in better weather.

Loved our stay at this property - room was great with two large beds. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Facility was huge - really impressed with the indoor heated pool - loved it in there. Will definitely book into a spa treatment next trip. Recommend getting breakfast and dinner - so convenient. The restaurant has a fire which made the atmosphere really cosy. This motel was a really great choice for our family, we will definitely return. Didn’t want to leave.

Our stay at the Pullman was excellent. Couldn't ask for a better location.
The only grizzle I have is that it cost NZD$33.00 for a bowl of fries and lemonade. They have implemented a "tray" surcharge of NZD$10.00 and I think this is not necessary at all. Room service is part of the perks of staying at a 5 star resort, and this charge is bogus.
