10/10 Exceptional

Located on the shores of Lake Rotoiti, the hotel offers gorgeous views of the lake from some of the rooms as well as the restaurant. The hotel itself is located 16km outside Rotorua, so a car is essential. It has a great restaurant and bar - both with excellent service!

Relaxing stay in Rotorua

The location of the hotel is very beautiful, just by the lake. We got a lake view unit and we enjoyed that in our stay. The hotel also offered kayaking, which we did in the lake and enjoyed.
Jay Dharmendra, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel is quite tired, staff friendly, phone in room was not working correctly. On checkout at 7.00am no one on Reception able to use computer to charge for Room service the night before. Rooms very well appointed and comfortable just showing their age, staff friendliness made up for a lot of the short comings.
