Anzac Bay Tours

Staff was nice and accommodating, the room and bathroom were clean. Beds were good and the place was quiet. Wifi was good and the tv in the room allowed skycasting so we could watch netflix from our phone. Overall basic accomodation that meets all your needs for a very nice price.

Arawa has the potential to be a great hotel, compared to most in the area. It is dated, but has the large corridoors, large and grand dinning area, bar, and lobby areas, but lack decor, more art work on display like major large size d hotles have. Its bare basic, bordering on bland, not even music playing low in the back ground as you enter and walk around the halls.

A unique antique property across the street from the Prince's Gates at Government Gardens, hence the name. The hotel common areas are phenomenal, old woods, wallpapers and furnishings well maintained. I rarely photograph my hotel surroundings, but made an exception here - museum like! The dining area and bar were great. Had a breakfast plan that was very good. Spend an afternoon sitting in the lounge in front of fireplace reading. Nice! An easy walk from city center with shopping, dining, parks, thermal features. The hotel's thermal pool was down for repairs, but they provided access to Polynesian Spa's family pool - 10 min walk away. The Spa's lakeside pools were excellent. The room itself was antique/boutique quaint, but very small with minimal amenities. Bathroom was clean, but tiny. Smell of sulphur from the geothermal areas was everywhere. Woke me at 3am one night it was so strong. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Overall a nice stay.
