Lucca cafe and restaurant is located underneath the apartment. TJ and his team made us feel welcome. See yah all next visit. We will be back. Great price for everything you get. A+++++++”

“Lovely hiking trails through farmland. It’s not the most gorgeous walk, but it’s very pleasant. The ocean views and views of pastoral land are just gorgeous.”

“Beautifully maintained historic site with fantastic gardens. The lovely guide (Judy, I believe) was so knowledgeable and passionate about the topics of the presentation. She added another layer of perfection to an already magnificent experience.”

“Njce place to take your dog. Big open sporting fields and big open areas for your dog to run”

“The room was simple and very clean. The reception staff were super friendly, and the shared spaces were kept really nice and tidy!”

“Such a neat little display of sculptures, all the favourite characters with amazing details. Great spot to visit and right next to a playground. Highly recommend checking it out”

“Beautiful place, dog friendly. I love getting lost amongst the old trees. I love the improvements that they have made. Couldn't resist stopping to admire the kaka beak plant. Love the diversity of bird life.”

“Called in to get some bbq wipes and the staff were very helpfull and knowledgeable. The check out lady was very efficient and polite.”

“Great place to come for a swim or for a good short hike. Walk is about 10min downhill and 15min back up the hill. Quite a steep climb with certain slippery areas and points that require nimble movement. Avoid on rainy days and days following heavy rainfall as either the path will be extremely slippery or the current streaming down the crossing will prove difficult to cross if wanting to swim.”

“Beautiful place to visit over a sunny weekend with great food trucks options (coffee, burgers, icecream), grass area, beach access and public toilets.”

“We used Hot Spring Spas to order another cover for our spa pool . It was ordered and we were not charged till collection Very happy with service”

“Such a peaceful walk around wetlands. I loved seeing the different variety of bird life in this area.”

“Great place for outdoor activities especially for adrenaline junkies but not for so great little children to wander around. It's not the type of park you would find in suburban areas. There are no shops nearby.”

“Very nicely appointed rooms. I don't tend to fall asleep easily but the bed, pillows, and linen were perfection and I slept better than I have in months. Location is great, a very short walk to shops, eateries etc... Bonus points for the fair trade hot drink provisions and the Forest and Bird toiletry products. Definitely recommend and would absolutely stay here again.”

“Great place. Had so much fun with the Grandkids ❤️. They loved the park the digger the fountain. Only problem was finding parking. Even our Airforce showed up and gave us a great display with the Black Falcons.”

“A great reserve to wonder around. It has a loop track that is around 1.7ish kms around. The track is popular with dog walkers - most are responsible but watch out for dogs off leash who can't be controlled by some terrible owners. And don't believe what people say about the avocado trees - they don't exist so don't bother about driving out here to grab some - it'd be a wasted trip.”

“perfect for the summer or a birthday party, very cold but very nice and refreshing, has chairs and bbq very awesome in the summer, not too deep and very pretty underwater clear and not cloudy, also a deck near the water .”

“Loved it! Great neat activity play area.”

“After four weeks in New Zealand the most well-kept place ever. Thank you for allowing us to be your guests. everything was kept clean and tidy. 5 stars plus. complete calm. a great pool. the beach can be reached in three minutes on foot. and it's crazy. The name “cozy corner” fits it perfectly.”

“Had an amazing stay in one of the two bedroom apartments this weekend! The facilities are awesome! Shower pressure is great! Washing machine and dryer and dishwasher provided! The pool and spa were such a treat. The place was quiet and even though there were no other vacancies, we didn’t pass a single person on the foyer or corridors. The beds are super comfy and the aircon was lovely as it was muggy over the weekend. A massive thanks to Toni for organising our last minute stay and adding our niece on last minute. She gave us extra bedding for the couch bed and added a small fee. Toni was an amazing host and we felt well taken care of - being from out of town. She was extremely welcoming to us and we cannot wait to come back! We will be back! ♥️♥️”

“We had the most amazing experience on this seafari, apparently we got super lucky because we ended up spitting 4 different dolphin pods. Didn’t get to swim with the dolphins since all the pods had juveniles, but still it was amazing to just enjoy them from the boat and learn all about them from the crew.”

“Ideal training venue, great facilities.”

“Awesome place. Mini Golf, Train rides. The mini golf is affordable compared to others I have been to or looked at. Big playground and field to play on. A fountain. A nice place to hang out”

“What a great campground! The pool and facilities are beautiful, well maintained and clean. I wasn't sure what to expect after the previous review but I was actually amazed with how nice and clean everything was and the bush behind makes it so tranquil! Lots of cool details including the swimwear dryer in the ladies changing room. Definitely keen to come back again!”

Talisman Hotel & Restaurant keeps things simple, bistro‑style and focused on flavour. Portions are generous yet well judged. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Service stays present without fuss.

“Absolutely amazing!! I loved the guided walk and learned so much about Māori culture!! However, the only thing that made this trip worth it was our tour guide, Ngati (NA • tsi). He was so kind and knowledgeable. He even knew the Māori cultural meaning of every object. He also walked us through the Māori prayers for safety before and after the walk. If the New Zealand weather catches you by surprise, don’t worry, because Ngati will hand you anything he has to help.Strongly recommend requesting him for your Hell’s Gate guided walk.”

“Very beautiful lake view cottages, very nice resort. It has a hot spa, pool, chess, gym, and provides cycle/bikes also. Very cozy, clean and nice rooms, with all the facilities. The rooms are also very spacious. Very calm and ambient place. Definitely recommend by me if you are coming to Rotorua. It is 100% worth the price. It is idealistic first day if you are for even at night in Rotorua. The cottages a the lake front have very great views with a common, huge and open backyard. The cottage in which we stayed had included a well equipped kitchen and dining table. There was also an electric fireplace. At night, the views in backyard were very MAJESTIC and photogenic. Overall, the places of great value and a perfect place for a calm, quiet and peaceful weekend/holiday/stay.”
