Clean & spacious with all amenities we needed for our quick stay, perfect for a family of 10. We booked last minute in the same day (needed somewhere to fit us all before travelling seperate ways) 3 couples + children. The price was quite high, however I would definitely stay again and it was worth every dollar. The spa and outdoor area are amazing with a beautiful view of the lake. Local fish n chip shop is yum! Luxury stay for sure and we needed time to unwind and relax before heading back to city life. This was it!

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.
