So Disappointing!

You can also purchase very fast and dependable wifi which is accessible anywhere on the property for $5 24hr access and a generous GB usage cap. It was great to find a spot near a picnic table to enjoy a meal w/a btl of wine in pretty much my own solitude and then venture to the thermal pools for an after-dinner soak under the stars! It was a nice quiet stay and the check-in process was very expedient. The staff was also very nice. I did not have a res here, just popped in and they were able to accommodate me immediately. They even recommended a place nearby for me to grab a burger and explained how to navigate the grounds and the hours of the pools. Very nice and affordable stay in Rotorua!

Cute little town with flowering baskets and a great cafe.
