"We had a wonderful stay at this motel. Everything was exceptionally clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We stayed in a room with one king-size bed and two single beds, which was perfect for our family. One of the highlights was the thermal spa pool located just behind the room. It was so relaxing to soak in the warm thermal pool after dinner—it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The bathroom is a little dated, but it was very clean and the shower had great water...

Top Tapapa Hotel Reviews

Newina Rotorua

Newina Rotorua

8/10 Good
"We stayed in a two bedroom apartment. Clean rooms, kitchen with essential items, spacious. The TV was not a smart TV which meant no YouTube or Netflix. They had other channels but found it difficult to select movies. Ideal location as across the road are numerous fast food outlets plus Woolworths grocery store and many attractions nearby. The restaurant wasn't operational. Overall a good stay."
