Hotels near Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop church, Rotorua

Nice hotel good location easy to get to main land city too but also close to all the major activities and beaches Room clean and spacious comfortable bed good view of ocean Rooftop pool and bar with view over ocean and beaches Staff friendly but a little bit more knowledge would have helped! Asked if we could hire a couple of cycles but said they don’t have any asked if they knew where we could hire them and they didn’t know but as soon as we walked down to the main road we found some self renting cycles… also asked where you can smoke and was directed to go through other hotel and out where the 7/11 24/7 shop was and there’s smoking area in courtyard but when we went back to our hotel we found a smoking area on the rooftop not sure why they didn’t tell us this… Entrance to hotel a little hard to find as you access it via underground car park or via the other hotel Would stay here again though..

We spent a couple of nights at this resort. The rooms were large enough and the bed was very comfortable. It was well appointed with a range of soaps and quality teas and coffees. It is is right next to the lake. The three things that let the hotel down were the fact the room was not made up after the first night despite leaving the request on the door handle. The safe did not work as we hadn't been given a safe key and finally the restaurant is not open on Mondays and Tuesdays for breakfast! What hotel doesn't provide food for its guest 7 days a week? Al's top tips. Ask for a safe key when you get your room keys. Have breakfast at the Artisan Cafe 1149 Tutanekai Street, Rotorua 3010, as you won't get fed there on Mondays and Tuesdays. We also visited Waitomo Glow worm caves and did the Mitai Maori Cultural experience and dinner.

Highly recommend this camping ground to families with kids and great if you have a well-trained, quiet dog to go along too. Facilities are brilliant. Only improvement would be provision of more shade, but in the meantime, take your hats, sunscreen and umbrellas and enjoy the place 😊

Newina is a medium sized hotel, located 5 minutes away from towns centre The manager was very helpful and had excellent knowledge of tourist attractions in the area. The room was spotlessly clean and we were delighted to see a private courtyard with a huge spa. There is also a swimming pool and small conference room. Full laundry facility located on the ground floor. Very affordable and we will definitely stay again

Our stay was fabulous. We had a spa room which was also fantastic even though it was chilly outside. It was well worth it. The rooms were clean, the bed comfortable and it had everything we needed. My husband's only complaint was there were no sky channels available and we needed our own netflix etc. accounts. We did have to fight for parking even though there was parking straight outside the rooms and some people coming with more than one vehicle per room. (Hubby has lung issues so needed close parking), otherwise we thoroughly loved it - thank you.

The lake view room is very good, the sparsely populated water is very clear, suitable for emptying. When it rains, the lake is dark, and the sky is blue without filters when the sun is out.

Many people come to the Blue Lake in RVs and yachts. Needless to say, the scenery of the Blue Lake is so beautiful. Sitting by the lake relaxes your teeth and scalp. The resort has separate toilets and shared toilets/bathrooms. Mostly locals come for water sports and swimming/camping, very few Chinese tourists. It is recommended to bring a swimming ring or surfboard from January to March. There are no restaurants around, so we brought instant noodles and tomatoes on our backs. After eating a few days later, we took a 10-minute taxi to the Landing Cafe next to Terawera Lake to eat. The beach was very lively on a sunny day, filled with children and adults with dogs🐶 Come and play in the water. The lake is crystal clear and opposite is a volcano. You can talk to local people with yachts and let them drive to the hot water beach at the foot of the volcano for a hot spring♨️.

The hotel is very nice and I want to come to the second time. Location is close to the lake, downtown, shopping malls are very convenient to eat. The hotel is motel style and the car is conveniently located at the door. The facilities in the room are complete, the tableware is complete, and the stove is full of fire to make Chinese food. The bed is comfortable to sleep, moderately soft and hard. There is a heated swimming pool, and the water temperature is roughly 32 degrees in the summer at 28 degrees. The hot spring pool has a strong smell of sulfur, which is much more authentic than the hot springs in the country. It is just a simple environment, one pool and one room, two in total. The hotel rents bicycles for free and is also very good value. New Zealand bicycles are planned to have a dedicated road, which is another way to visit in addition to hiking. The hotel staff is very nice and welcoming. There are also some shortcomings. Because of the hot springs, the air has a sulphur smell. But it didn't take long to stay, but it was very comfortable to ask, which was good for rhinitis and pharyngitis. The room is a little smaller. There is only one window on the ground floor where we live. The ventilation is slightly worse. The actual stay for three days is not serious. It is still under the premise of cooking in the room. In short, the hotel feels the owner's intentions and intimacy everywhere, even if it is in the hotel, it will not be boring. I also forgot that one important thing is that TV provides Netfix, and foreign hotels that have lived in the past few years have not provided it for free. More than 700 prices are very good value.

We had our dinner at the in-house restaurant (The Grill). It was fully booked and was really busy. There was only 1 lady looking after the bar and the restaurant. Despite being busy, she delivered an exceptional service to us and even to the other customers. We will definitely come back for the service, though the hotel needs some TLC.

First stay was 3 years ago when it was still a Holiday Inn. We enjoyed the pools and nearby attractions. Came back this time around for the same reasons. Kids enjoyed the heated pool. And we adults find it soothing after a long day out. When pool towels run out, reception was glad to replenish. We were at a deluxe queen queen room facing the carpark. Room looked tired. Bathroom was even worse. Mould on the grouting and sink had lime scale. Turning the tap was bound to give you a splash. Other than than, room was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly. And doing the best they can on a busy long weekend. Carpark can get full on a busy weekend, you almost dont want to go out for dinner.
