I had an amazing time at the hotel! The location is stunning, right across from the lake and surrounded by trees and mountains. The cabin we stayed in was clean and well equipped, plus the kids loved the playgrounds and outdoor activities. I did notice the shared bathrooms could be more spacious, but overall, the experience was fantastic. It was definitely value for money considering all the fun we had!

I had a wonderful time at the park hotel, nestled just outside of Rotorua. The location is absolutely stunning, right next to a beautiful lake with so much to do. The accommodations were clean and well-equipped for our stay. However, the lack of proper ventilation in bathrooms and the pricing felt a bit high for what was provided. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with lots to enjoy, especially if you love being outdoors.

The rooms were clean, fresh, and well-equipped for our short stay, but they lacked air conditioning, which made it a bit uncomfortable during the warmer moments. Also, the bathroom had issues with staying dry after showers because of inadequate ventilation.

The facilities were great! The park had a lot to offer, including fun activities for the kids, clean amenities, and spacious areas for family gatherings. The only downside was the limitations in bathroom facilities, particularly the single sink in the women's area.

I had a wonderful stay at the holiday park! The cleanliness of the cabins was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to assist us. The amenities were fantastic for families, especially the play areas for kids. However, the noise from the nearby possums was a bit unsettling at night, and I felt the rooms could use a fan or some ventilation.

I had a wonderful stay at this park hotel! The location near the beautiful lake made it a peaceful retreat while still being close enough to the city for convenience. The rooms were spacious and clean, perfect for my family, although I wish there were a few more bathroom facilities for our group. The friendly staff really went out of their way to help us. While it felt a bit tight with just one bathroom, it was overall a great experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a family-friendly getaway.

I had a fantastic time at the campground, with a beautiful location right by Blue Lake and a variety of activities to enjoy. The cabin we stayed in was clean and quiet, making for a comfortable stay. However, it would have been nice to have a towel rack in the bathroom. Overall, the experience was great, and I can't wait to return for more outdoor adventures.
