Nice unit, location (if you don't need the inernet
A clean and comfortable unit located in a nice avenue close to the Turangi centre. The only problem was despite free wifi being connected it was next to impossible to get any streamed apps or even free to view channels and the internet in general. Have encountered this at other motels in the district so it's probably a regional issue but sure;y hosts can find a solution?
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was worth the money for a single night stay, I wouldn’t recommend this one for more than a night or if you can make it to Rotorua.
