    Loved our stay. The bathrooms were so clean which gave me peace of mind having my children use the facilities. My kids had the best time with the Bouncy Castle, Heated pool, Playground and enjoyed the whole experience with the dinosaurs. The staff are all so friendly and most importantly we felt safe - a real family vibe. We have stayed at many other places in Rotorua but this is by far the best for families with younger children.

    We loved our stay. Our unit was clean, comfortable, warm and cosy. One family member described it as "flash". We met 2 staff and both were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of room for the kids to move around, they loved it. Huge bedroom upstairs with lots of beds, very comfortable and suitable for families. Loved that we had our own private spa. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. Thanks very much Arista!

    I liked the location, a hideaway from the noisey street yet not far from town. The area was child friendly and the kids loved the play ground and the alpacas and sheep. This place is great for families.
