AWA Hotel
Tidy room, the fridge in our room had an odd odor, which was rather unpleasant. Very close to hallway so was quite loud during the night. Second stay, first stay was much better.

Hideaway of Rotorua
The room was nice but it was an accessible room which we did not enjoy. We did enjoy feeding the alpacas and sheep.
