We liked the location if the motel, the supermarket is just a walking distance. Te Puia was also nearby. It was raining when we were about to head out for Te Po & the kind owners lend us some umbrellas. They were nice to provide us with free wifi as well. Room was a bit small for 4 people otherwise...

We were here for a couple of nights and found it to be excellent. We were given an upgrade and our room was very clean and spacious with a sitting area, table and chairs and bathroom with an indoor hot tub. The owner, Natalee, was extremely helpful and friendly. The location is especially worthy of comment as many hotels/motels are... More

Easy walk to the main part of town, with lots of bars and restaurants (and shops) from which to choose. Rooms were clean and well equipped, with lots of space. We would certainly book here again if back in Rotorua.

Close to town (walking distance) and even though on busy Fenton street it is quiet and away from traffic noise mostly. The rooms are a little on the small side (we had a studio), but well appointed. The spa which comes with the room is a good size although fills very slowly. The owners are extremely helpful and will organise... More

The room was fine with a loose 70's theme going. The location was just outside of town and fine for us too. The bed was the real dissappointment.....not at all comfortable, squeeky and springy. All that said, the owners/managers of the place were amazing. They were friendly and gave great recommendations. But the best part was we were running out... More

The pool is very small but each room has its own thermal spa. Rooms are a decent size. Rooms are not as themed as they seem in the photos. It was pretty clean and staff are nice. Quiet despite being on the main road. Not far from thermal parks.

Team of 12 and 4 coaches/managers stayed in the House. Everything about the house was ideal for what we needed and the pool was a great bonus. Natalee and Bryce were great hosts (and fun to talk to!). We stay in a lot of places on tournaments and this is one of the best.

And Fabulous Guests too! Thanks for taking the time to review (and well done by the way). We love having sports teams here and seeing you enjoy the pool after a hard game! RotoVegas House is the prefect area for groups, you can all be under one roof but still have private space. Thanks again. Natalee @ RotoVegas Motel/House More
