Te Puna Holidays from NZ$812

Breakfast very normal, no many choices.

Clean hotel, beautiful old building, comfy bed. Overall a nice stay.

The staff were most welcoming, helpful, and cheerful. Dinner and breakfast excellent. Beautiful grounds overlooking the lake. Comfortable room with outside table and chairs. (We did not use the gas freplace in the room.)

Property is a bit dated but roomy, clean and tidy. Passing heavy traffic caused the bed to shake.

Nice location a few km out of Rotorua. The park-like grounds are a bit odd with the Alice in Wonderland themed art, but peaceful and with nice views of the lake in the distance. The rooms are well appointed but have zero soundproofing: you will hear your neighbors snore and chat, and doors are so flimsy you hear everything going on in the common areas. Bring your best earplugs. Breakfast is decent, service can be slow. Tiny outdoor pool and two nice hot tubs. Maintenance is hit and miss: rooms are relatively clean, but you'll find cobwebs and dirty windows in the restaurant. So on balance: a bit overpriced.
