"This was our first time staying at this property, and we were very impressed. We stayed in a suite and found the check-in process to be quick and easy.

The room was exceptionally clean, and the spa bath was more like a spa pool, which was a fantastic bonus. The underfloor heating added an extra touch of comfort...

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely no-nonsense accommodation in Rotorua, on the main strip and close to many of the attractions. I would stay here again. Only downside is there seems to be only one washing machine and dryer for the entire block of apartments! We were quite lucky that they happened to be unused when we needed it."
