"This was our first time staying at this property, and we were very impressed. We stayed in a suite and found the check-in process to be quick and easy. It was also convenient to find a parking space close to our room, and we appreciated the range of facilities on offer. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The room was exceptionally clean, and the spa bath was more like a spa pool, which was a fantastic bonus. The underfloor heating added an extra touch of comfort...

Top Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest Hotel Reviews

Sudima Lake Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and the hotel was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff proactively offered to sign me up for the hotel’s membership programme and explained that members can enjoy dining discounts as well as discounts at the Polynesian Spa across the road. However, they didn’t mention that membership also includes a late check-out option, extending check-out from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. This was actually the most useful benefit for me, so I would have appreciated knowing about it during check-in. That said, the hotel is still a very worthwhile choice, especially given its excellent location and overall convenience."
