Rydges Rotorua
Checking in and out was simple and quick with friendly, courteous staff. The pool was smaller than expected so we left that to families with smaller kids. Room was nice and cool which was appreciated as it was a hot day when we checked in.

Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama
A relaxing location just outside of Rotorua. Family friendly with great facilities including board games, sports equipment and bike hire. Pricey during peak season but worth the money.
