We didn’t miss the pool not being heated at all due to bad weather. But we loved the spa and Rotorua during this travel. Will definitely...

Imagine our surprise when we came back to get our bags and we were directed to another room, where our bags were stored, and told to make a drink, have a shower and freshen up for the rest of...

Excellent stay. 5/5. So central to everything. Clean, spacious, well equipped kitchenette, good shower and free parking + high speed internet. The room was cleaned daily and supplies replenished. Highly recommended hotel. Mr Boon was gracious and a lovely gentleman to chat with. The hotel has got fairy lights all over the building and it looked so pretty like Diwali. We ended up extending another day. Thank you for a lovely stay Mr Boon and wife. Really appreciated.
