Such a lovely place! Clean, well-furnished and comfy cottage. Quiet and peaceful environment away from the town centre yet conveniently near enough. Tracey and Colin are superb hosts, made us feel right at home, giving us useful tips on things to do and see. Wonderful to interact with their resident pets - dogs, chickens and horses. Highly recommended!!

The location of the unit was close to the spa.we did have far to go. I loved the spa. Shower pressure was nice. The fact we were able to cook a meal as you had all the house utilities.

It was a wonderful B&B! The room and bed very comfy, clean, lots of space. The hosts are very friendly. It was lovely to come back in the evening and have a cup of tea in the living room, sharing stories. But it would have been equally fine to stay in my room. I enjoyed to do the first, having spent enough time on my own. The breakfast was spectacular and a great start of the day.

Our stay at this lodge was exceptional. The property is ideally located by the lake, offering beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. It features amenities like free kayaks, a jacuzzi, and a sauna, perfect for relaxation. The hotel is just a 10-minute drive from various restaurants, balancing convenience and tranquility.

Rotorua Forest Getaway is owned by thoughtful and caring owners . The kitchen appliances, utensils and supplies were one of the best amongst all our stays around NZ. They even provided high chairs, travel cots and baby tub which are ideal for families with babies / toddlers. It is clean and located at a quiet street, yet located at a conenient location. We'll definitely come again.

Loved our stay. The bathrooms were so clean which gave me peace of mind having my children use the facilities. My kids had the best time with the Bouncy Castle, Heated pool, Playground and enjoyed the whole experience with the dinosaurs. The staff are all so friendly and most importantly we felt safe - a real family vibe. We have stayed at many other places in Rotorua but this is by far the best for families with younger children.
