Jet Park Hotel Rotorua is ideally situated just a short 5-minute walk from Rotorua town centre. This New Zealand owned and operated hotel offers a wide range of refurbished rooms.
“This place was a litte gem. I think it deserves 10/10 for value and excellent service. This was the cheapest hotel we stayed in during our travels in New Zealand and I cannot state enough how lovely, bubbly and helpful the staff were. The family room was fantastic for travellers with small kids - toys,books, jigsaws and little toys for the bath all part of the service. Not to mention plenty of milk in the fridge provided. The room was spotless and it was the only hotel that we did not have to remind them that we had requested a cot bed - it was in situ on arrival. The pool is small and very warm - like a hot bath. Wifi was very good and consistent. In summary - expectations were met and beyond. Great value for what is on offer.”

“Everything was absolutely perfect. The position of the motel is very good - not fat to the centre and not far to the countryside walks. The host is very nice and when we needed something he was always ready to help. The appartment was large enough and comfortable, we could enjoy the hot pool, sitting in the garden or walking in the city of Rotoru or its beautiful surrounding. The rooms were clean, towels were changed every day. The host was even so kind that he gave me a nice shell from his garden decoration when I wanted to buy it!”

Pohutu Lodge offers modern and updated accommodation, and is situated on the edge of the Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley. It offers free off-street parking, free WiFi and bicycle storage.
“Everything. The owner of the property was very helpful and knowledgable of the area. Only to willing to help with anything. Location was handy to a variety of cultural experiences, and a short drive to town, supermarkets etc.Very tidy and easy to find. We found that the location of the property was well positioned and quiet. It is off a main road, not that you can hear any traffic. There is a small reserve behind it, that you can walk through and see one of the many thermal wonders that Rotorua is known for. We would definitely stay there again. Value for money. Give it a try. 👍😀😀”

“We stayed at Panorama lodge for 4 nights with our children. The owners went out of their way to be there when we finally arrived late at night and happily showed us around the premises. The views of Rotorua were spectacular - we particularly enjoyed sitting in the hottub watching the city beneath us in the distance. Loved that there were shampoos and soaps in every bathroom and super fast free wifi!(the kids loved that). We would recommend this location for any group to stay in with lots of space to spread out.

“Our hosts, Mike and Peter were friendly and helpful. Both have sampled many of the attractions around Rotorua so they could give excellent recommendations about what to take in. Mike actually arranged a couple of tours for us, that we would not likely have been able to go on, based on this knowledge. The breakfast served, both hot and cold selections, was excellent. The facility has all the amenities including the use of a hot tub. The décor was very homey yet had an exotic, "eastern" touch. There was ample parking. Our room had an en-suite bathroom while the other triple room had a private bathroom across the hall. As an added touch the facility had numerous brochures about area attractions and also various items for sale.”
