This resort is about 15 minutes from the Rotorua town centre. The resort is dated, our room & the common areas are in need of updating. Our room was a large suite overlooking the lake. Because the weather was so wet we did not use the outside area, but it must be nice when the sun is shining. The carpet in our suite looked new, but the furnishings are old, stained & worn. We didn’t eat in the dining room, so can’t comment. There is no safe in the room, but the staff did hold our passports when we went exploring in town.Cant say enough good things about the staff. They were very warm & helpful.

Please don’t book this property! I booked this resort through Expedia with a lake view for just one night as me and my wife were doing a road trip of North island from Auckland to Wellington and had a stop over at Rotorua. I checked in a little late around 10 pm and as soon as I entered the room and tried to connect the WiFi it was not working. I complained and the staff was also not able to fix the problem. Then I used the washroom and flushed the toilet, but it didn’t stop releasing the water as the flush was too old and got stuck. Then I called the front desk again to fix it but there was no one except the night guard who was unable to help at the moment. With all this fuss I was not able to sleep until 12:30 and the problems were not fixed either. Moreover, the room condition was not good at all, there was dust all over the place on the phone, table, bathroom, soap bottles, shower door and the condition of the hotel was really horrible and nowhere near a 5 star. I am going to file a complaint with Expedia and expect atleast a half refund from the hotel if not full. I do not recommend this property to anyone unless they renovate the building. It’s better to book a motel and save your money and time. Nick.

We had a wonderful stay here! Older facilities but very comfortable and cosy. Parking was a bit challenging as the car parks are quite small for all the bigger vehicles but made it work. Wonderful service! The buffet breakfast was perfect and set us up well for the day. A beautiful place to stay, it was nice to be a little bit out of the city of Rotorua.
