Rotorua, New Zealand - Holiday Mecca

Imagine going out on a holiday with the entire family! Yes it can be logistically challenging - everyone comes from different places, everyone has their own personalities and preferences and budget restrictions.

Certainly, the key is, how could it be possible to satisfy the needs of the most number of people? I hope these top 2 tips help:

1. The first idea that comes to mind is to look for a central destination. Rotorua fits this requirement. It's a leisurely drive from Auckland and Wellington being in the central part of the North Island.
It's a well-known adventure paradise. The tourism destinations in Rotorua are well-developed. There are tons of adventure activities for the energetic younger adults and beautiful gardens and walking trails for the older generation. Most importantly, there is a huge selection of cafes and restaurants that have competitive pricing.





2. Choose a clean, spacious, affordable and air-conditioned accommodation. I can not stress this enough. Summer in NZ can be humid! It would be uncomfortable for everyone in high humidity and tiny spaces. However, the costs for comfort need to be reasonable. This is where Cleveland Apartments in Rotorua comes in.  Check out their room rates on their website and pay attention to the quality of rooms they offer. The owners of Cleveland Apartments in Rotorua pride themselves in making sure that their accommodation is clean and comfortable. They regularly in improving their facilities and appropriate renovations to ensure that guests have the loveliest stay and most relaxing sleep. And of course, the room rates are affordable giving the guests the best value for the level of service, size of room, amenities.

Rotorua in spring!

This is the highlight of my recent trip to Rotorua!
Amazing display of flowers at the Rotorua government gardens!
As always, we had the pleasure of staying at MALFROY motor lodge,  51 Malfroy Road, Rotorua.  This motel is close to the city center and central to key tourist destinations in Rotorua. Highly recommended motel accommodation, affordable, cosy, very clean.  I always get the luxury of eight uninterrupted hours of sleep. That in itself is a treat.

Rotorua Bath House



Everyone loves a cafe if it has this setting! It's absolutely refreshing. I loved the stained glass windows so kudos to whoever pushed the idea to setup a cafe in the Rotorua Museum. I must have seen about 200 tourists, arriving by the buses on that day.

Bath House cafe had a wide food selection, quite reasonable too and the servings were generous. However, I ached to find out wifi is not available. Why!?! NZ is an international luxury destination! Nevertheless, people of Rotorua are sure happy that there's central wifi offered. It's great for tourists!

The Rotorua Museum is a must-see destination in Rotorua. It's also called the Government gardens, initiated by Engr Malfroy. The grounds are beautiful - with different flowers blooming per season!

We visited the Bath House Cafe as part of our client visit. We stayed at MALFROY motor lodge, just 1.3 KM away at 51 Malfroy Road, Rotorua. It's decent and impeccably clean cafe with reasonable rates.

One of a Kind Rotorua Motel

51 Malfroy St - www.malfroymotorlodge.co.nz

This little hotel is full of surprises. Having read online reviews, it deserves its title - one of the Best Value Motels in the entire S. Pacific. The MALFROY Rotorua motel rooms are priced from $115 to $185 per night. Studio rooms are $115 - good for 2 people. Breakfasts are an extra $10 to $15 depending on how heavy you like your breakfast to be. You also have your own kitchenette just in case you want to cook your own food.

Family rooms are usually $185 this winter. It's an entire house - 3 bed with a lounge and fully functioning kitchen. Big families can enjoy the use of the mineral pools and they can use the barbeque facilities.

It's nice that you can check your email while in the premises. You also wake up looking at beautiful gardens. It has a central location... not too close to the city that you'll here too much noise and not too far that you can just stroll leisurely for 5 minutes and you'll already reach Rotorua's biggest mall.

All in all, we had a really pleasant experience. We had a really hectic schedule but we seemed to have all the energy still the next day.

A+ service from the owners of this lodge.

Highly recommended.
