Good stay would fully recommend. Free Pizza on a Tuesday will probably define when I check in next time though! The only problem was the card machine was down when I arrived, but just luck of the draw really!

should have more towels for drying the kitchen utensils. Should have a freezer in the kitchen for customer to use.

Had a great time here. Many of the staff are also staying there which means there are fun, knowledgeable people around all the time. Smack bang in the middle of the main street in Rotorua. The only downside would be that from our room we could hear the music from the Irish pub next door until about 2am on one of the nights we stayed there.
