Looked forward to a 'nice' stay away, only to find out that the restaurant was closed for renovations, and the swimming pool was also closed!, disappointing as both these were a factor to booking this accommodation. The heater didn't work in our room in the first night (which outside temp was 1degree!), this did get fixed however once mentioned. Also the room was not serviced for the 3 day duration that we stayed!.

The hallway and the room was clean and tidy. Comes with complimentary tea and coffee. Beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. We were very happy with it. We would definitely book here again if we are staying in Rotorua longer. My only complaint was the shower drain appears to be blocked. We have had to stop mid shower to allow water to drain otherwise it will overflow out of the shower. Also unfortunately the guests next door were very loud until midnight they appear to be a few families booked together several doors from our room. Even though we were at the very end of the hallway their loud voices echo and bounce. Not the property’s fault of course. But maybe could do with a reminder not to make noise after a certain time out of respect for other guests who are tired from traveling. But other than that it was comfortable and clean. The restaurants and shops are minutes away so very accessible.
