This was a last minute booking as the hotel we had booked was terrible. The staff where fanatic, it was my wife's birthday and I happened to mention this in passing the staff brought us a bottle of wine the evening we checked in with a little birthday note. Then the following day they brought us a brownie with a candle and sang happy birthday!!!! This really made our day the staff went above and beyond. The hotel was very nice rooms where very nice and clean.

We booked Fairway Cottage for just one night, but as soon as we arrived, it felt like home. The cozy atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and thoughtful amenities made it so easy to settle in. We ended up extending our stay for another day because we simply didn’t want to leave! The location is also very convenient, with easy access to many of Rotorua's top attractions. And also owner of the property is incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to our stay. It’s truly an amazing place, offering both comfort and charm. The value for money is exceptional, a must-stay if you’re tripping in Rotorua!

An amazing place to stay. Modern, comfortable, quiet and secure. The location is excellent. Close to town but down a quiet street with no traffic. Fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine are a bonus. The spa bool is awesome - nice and private, clean and modern. Would definitely stay at Rose's again. Excellent value for money!

This is a great house—comfortable, clean, modern and in a good location. What I liked most was that the house was already warm when we arrived, with the heating turned on beforehand. The host also thoughtfully provided menu boards from nearby restaurants, including some discounts, which helped us quickly decide where to have dinner. Each room and the living room are very spacious and the house is surrounded by electric fences, making us feel very safe despite the house's city center location.

What a great place to stay. The apartment was clean, comfy and warm (it was the coldest night of the year so far). Beds were super comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The car parks were around the back and couldn't be seen from the road, so it was safe to park the motorbike. And extra parking available on the road. Rose apartments are an easy drive into the city centre or a flat 15 minute walk. We'd definitely stay here again.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the motel room was! The layout of the room was perfect. I slept best in bed, and the private spa was the icing on the cake. The room had everything one could ask for. It's the best location to access everything. If you get a chance to read the book about the origins of the motel do so! The cats are also a valued addition. I will be staying here again.
