This was a last minute booking as the hotel we had booked was terrible. The staff where fanatic, it was my wife's birthday and I happened to mention this in passing the staff brought us a bottle of wine the evening we checked in with a little birthday note. Then the following day they brought us a brownie with a candle and sang happy birthday!!!! This really made our day the staff went above and beyond. The hotel was very nice rooms where very nice and clean.

Stay 280 & Stay 284 Rotorua - Refurbished Modern Accommodation

Fenton Street, Rotorua

We had a wonderful two-night stay here and were impressed by how convenient and welcoming everything was. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of Rotorua, close to shops, attractions, and dining, yet quiet and peaceful at night. The room was spotless, spacious, and had all the essentials we needed, including a well-equipped kitchenette which made it easy to prepare small meals or enjoy a hot drink. A thoughtful touch was receiving a bottle of milk at check-in for a cuppa after a long drive. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Parking was easy, and check-in was smooth and efficient. This is a great base for exploring Rotorua and relaxing in between adventures. We would definitely stay here again if we're back in Rotorua in the future.

The house had pretty much everything in terms of amenities.It is in a very quite peaceful place. Though we had a little set back as owner wasn't aware of us coming but he settled this in a very quick and smooth manner. Its a home away from your home. It has books, board games, spacious rooms, nice outdoor sitting area. Its a shame we had to stay for only one night. Definitely recommend to those who are seaking some quiet time.

    It's very unassuming from the outside but inside is lovely. It was absolutely spotless. All the beds were comfortable and there's lots of space. Location is great. Raj was great to deal with and even posted my mum's glasses that she left ther.

    Friendly staff. Great location, parking on site, although there isn't a guaranteed space. Very clean. The top floor room facing carpark was good for a couple of nights. Budget motel. Small room, but it is equipped for a short stay.
