Waimangu Holidays from NZ$818

Staff were happy and very helpful.. cleanliness was average behind the beds hadn’t been vacuumed or skirtings dusted and the bathroom could of been better cleaning wise but overall was a good stay 😊

Staff was nice and accommodating, the room and bathroom were clean. Beds were good and the place was quiet. Wifi was good and the tv in the room allowed skycasting so we could watch netflix from our phone. Overall basic accomodation that meets all your needs for a very nice price.

Reception, bar and restaurant are all nice, but lots of other areas of the hotel are fairly tired looking. Rooms are a good size with comfy beds and decent enough standard. Buffet breakfast was good with lots of choice. Pool is good, but quite small for the size of the hotel so was packed when we were there. Not world class, but pretty good value for what we paid.

Arawa has the potential to be a great hotel, compared to most in the area. It is dated, but has the large corridoors, large and grand dinning area, bar, and lobby areas, but lack decor, more art work on display like major large size d hotles have. Its bare basic, bordering on bland, not even music playing low in the back ground as you enter and walk around the halls.

Our hosts Danny & Mabel were highly attentive and their property is a wonderfully secluded villa amongst the vibrant landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand. Mabel’s morning breakfast is a delight with various fruits and jams all coming from the garden. The proximity to central Rotorua is also within a 15 minute drive. This location is highly recommended.
