Not great
The reception desk was not occupied, but friendly staff once we could locate yhem. Rooms were not ready and in need of a deep clean, no milk or soap in our room. Water is undrinkable. The facility is really very tired.

This was an expensively appointed hotel when built but it is starting to tire. Still lovely. But please please clean the windows, inside and out; a simple thing that will just lift the whole experience. Breakfast was excellent and evening dining is good.

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.

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

Great value for money
Great value for money, staff were friendly and helpful, room clean and comfortable. Food was good. The only faults we found were the screen between the bathroom and bedroom was in poor condition and didn’t operate properly and the washing machines in the laundry hadn’t been cleaned properly.

Old world charm. A little water damage in ceiling by back wall. Gorgeous view of lake from room. Breakfast was good. Parking lot needs to be redone. Tennis courts need upkeep.

We had a wonderful stay here! Older facilities but very comfortable and cosy. Parking was a bit challenging as the car parks are quite small for all the bigger vehicles but made it work. Wonderful service! The buffet breakfast was perfect and set us up well for the day. A beautiful place to stay, it was nice to be a little bit out of the city of Rotorua.

Our original rooms were unavailable due to a water leak, however the manager went above and beyond to accommodate our group of 7 adults. All of the staff were absolutely lovely and the room was perfect. Thanks team! Would definitely stay again.

The property was clean, though quite rundown and not indicative of the pictures or description. The staff gave limited service and room was not prepared for arrival. They did not have adequate staffing for the peak period and cited more than once that we would have to wait for service due to being at capacity. Whilst the property was clearly quite stunning when originally built, it is lacking now.

Lovely spot
Lovely spot. Very comfortable room. Staff were lovely. Water wasn’t real hot. Not many food places around but hamburgers and chips from side store at the mini market were the best we have had for ages.3 minute walk down the road. Great place to stay to visit Okere falls.
