Gorgeous location on the shore of Lake Rotoiti. Perfect for catching the afternoon boat to the Manupirua Hot Pools. There's nothing wrong with hotel that wouldnt be solved with better and more meaningful cleaning.

Albert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Property was tired. Location & surroundings were beautiful. Didn’t have many staff around. Nobody to check us in. Asked to wait in the bar…. No staff & coffee machine broken. Asked to wait to be seated at breakfast but again no staff.
Natasha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Place was pretty clean. It is a little bit outside of Rotorua but priced well. The place could use an update but it was clean and the staff was nice. I have stayed better places but have stayed at worse.
Ty, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location, 15 minutes away from down town Rotorua. View front of the lake, friendly staff. It requires some upgrades, but room was very comfy and clean.
Roxana, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

A shame that a beautiful place has neglected cleanliness and maintenance with current management. Could be so much better.
Ywain, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel is a good 15 - 20 mins drive from Rotorua, the building is in desperate need of repair, everything is literally falling apart, the staff is okay but overwhelmed by the quantity of tourist. Otherwise, location quite nice, right on the lake shore and the sunrises are great.
Vasile, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property was old and badly needed updating. There could have been more crockery in the rooms ie plates. The breakfast was just ok. The room service meal was very good.
