The property is clean, the cute bubbly stream had trout and birds, the staff was super friendly and the large three bedroom unit had all the kitchen amenities for our trip. The biggest plus is that it is right across the street from the Skyline entrance, so just walk to the day activities! We recommend!

It was a quiet place to have good rest and at the same time it’s close enough to most of the shops and other activities. Neat rooms and nice staff will consider staying in future visits to Rotorua.

Stayed in a superior studio. It did feel a little dated, however it was very clean and comfortable and had a lovely water view from the back deck. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. Just a short drive to most attractions and a walk across the road toThe Skyline.
