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.

My husband & I stayed for 5 nights on a work trip, the room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The motel had a nice quiet outlook. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook dinner in each night. My husband was happy with a full choice of sky tv channel's. We would defiantly stay there again.
