This is clean, modest, inexpensive accommodation in a beautiful lakeside location. Our room was clean, spacious and well equipped but the location is extraordinary. It's always a lovely surprise to arrive in the dark and open the curtains in the morning to a really beautiful view. We only stayed one night but are tempted to return when Rotorua is our... More

Location is far from Rotorua town centre but lake frontage made up for it. Also, there is a small town centre where you can get everything such as Four Square and several fish and chips shops. So no need to go to Rotorua town centre. If you want peace and serenity, this is the place to stay. Rooms are very... More

Stayed in one of the more basic rooms and it was basic. But it had everything you need and the hotel is very well located only a five minute walk into town. Very hard to get this sort of location for the price so well worth it if you don't require uber-luxury.

Would have liked a few more cooking utensils as we had chosen not to eat out and struggled a bit although we did use the bbq. Canoes, spa pools great although would have liked one pool... More

I loved my 2 nights at this motel. The motel is an older style, (the advantage with this is the big size rooms) and the owner is clearly working hard to make it a pleasant experience for those who stay. I was impressed with; the beautiful new white bed linen, the size of the units (We were in number 1),... More

Simple clean rooms. Quiet, nice lake view (except for the car park in front). 2 doubles & 2 singles for $130 - good value

And their 2 bedroom room was dirty. Would definitely NOT rebook or recommend this place again. Seeing it was school holidays the spa... More
