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!

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.

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.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. The hotel is a little jaded now but you can still see its former splendour. I thought it was wonderful inspite of its tired facilities. The staff were super helpful and the breakfast is good. I would stay here again.

Lovely view, adequate breakfast. Could do with some maintenance on outside door and some new pillows. Overall a nice place to stay
Karin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Reasonably priced place to stay
A good place to stay at a very reasonable price. Room was comfortable but a little dated. Screen between bathroom and bedroom was faulty and difficult to close or open. Limited menu options and food was average, but having a restaurant on site was handy as it saved a 10min drive into Rotorua
Great views from hotel
Lloyd, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, comfortable, nice location, a little tired
Decent sized room with a comfortable king size bed, one easy chair, one office type swivel chair and a couple of dining chairs and a small table. Our second floor room looked out onto Lake Rotoiti - very nice view (Lake Rotorua is in the opposite direction and can't be seen from the hotel). Strange folding wooden shutters between the room and en suite bathroom (with separate shower cubicle) - would let in natural light I suppose? Fridge, desk, small wardrobe containing iron and board. Some of the fittings are a bit worn and tarnished, giving the room a well used feel - but it was clean and everything worked. Friendly staff. Parking on site. No lift - but the receptionist offered to help carry luggage. Good breakfast available: fruit, cereal, yoghurt cheese, cold meats, croissants juice, plus scrambled eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, hash browns and bacon (potato wedges one morning). Toast, butter and spreads. Only disappointment was the water in the flask for tea wasn't hot - we had tea in our room. At times the breakfast area had food dropped by guests on the chairs and carpet. We dined in the restaurant one evening - nice meal. The hotel is an easy 20-30 minute drive to the centre of Rotorua (you definitely need your own transport) but only 5 minutes from Okere and Tutela falls. We had a comfortable stay and the buffet breakfast was a treat.
