Ripple Rotorua is 3 minutes’ walk from the Skyline Rotorua’s scenic gondola luge rides, Rotorua Canopy Tours, Mitai Maori Village and Zorb. Rotorua Airport is 15 km away. It was clean and comfortable and my wife and I had a wonderful time. Loved the personal message that made us feel welcomed and the property was very close to every place we wanted to go to. We would definitely love to stay again and request for the same room as we loved our privacy.

Featuring free Wi-Fi, an outdoor thermally heated swimming pool, and rooms with private spa pools, Sport of Kings Motel is just 10 minutes' walk from Te Puia Thermal Reserve. Guests enjoy 1 free parking space per room, and BBQ facilities set amongst landscaped gardens. Amazing amazing stay we had with Sport of Kings. stayed 3 nights here - very spacious room, comfortable, kitchen facilities were good, private hot tub in the room was pleasant - it was behind the bedroom in an “outside area” making it just cool enough but also sheltered hence privacy not an issue and also not too cold even in the autumn months with temperatures around 10degrees. Hot tub area was also kept very clean. The staff and owner of the property were also very helpful in providing recommendations for attractions, and in assisting us in our needs! For example, we had driven through some mud and gravel roads and wanted to wash our car - they promptly set up the hose for us. Will definitely stay again!

The Princes Gate is a historical, boutique-style hotel in the centre of Rotorua. This classical 4-star hotel is opposite the Polynesian Spa and the famous Government Gardens.

The hotel has 52 stylish guestrooms and apartments, all decorated in a traditional and classical style. Each room is air-conditioned and beautifully furnished with luxurious en suite bathroom and a range of personal toiletries. The larger apartments offer a living area and kitchen facilities. The room was great for a solo leisure traveller and I love the location on the second floor. I didn't go to the breakfast so can't say anything about that. I particularly love the history, the colourful old world decor and charm, the lounge, and lovely staff - shout out to Kumar, a very sweet and helpful young man. I was happy to come back to this grand old dame, I am tired of soulless, bland, modern hotels. You have something special and I hope to be back in Rotorua again to stay there.
