Top Pongakawa Hotel Reviews

6 on Adams

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay, very comfortable and has everything you need. Handy walking distance to cafes etc"

Rydges Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Rydges was a great hotel for exploring Rotorua. Kids eat free with an adult at the buffet, which greatly helped with costs. I loved the laundry machines being available to clean our dirty clothes so I could pack less. The hotel was quiet and the room was comfortable for 2 adults and a kid. I’ll happily return for another visit!"

Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Very homely. Amy the manager was the best Michael"

STAY280 & STAY284 Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Had a secure place to store and charge our e-bikes. Comfortable bed and quiet space. No hot plate, but the air fryer was very useful. Thanks for the hospitality"

ibis Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location close to the hospital"

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

8/10 Good

"It was a pleasant stay ."

Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama

10/10 Excellent

"The property grounds are very lovely, spacious, wonderful trees and green space, plenty of parking, and wonderful views and access to the lake. We used the tennis court, ping pong table, pool, and hot tub during our stay, and they were all great. The pool is not heated, so the water was too cold for our family, but I’m certain it would be very welcoming during the warmer summer months. The hot tub was nice, although some of our group thought it would be nice if it were hotter. The on-site restaurant was excellent. The staff in reception were always friendly and responsive. Our family of five stayed in a three bedroom accommodation, and it had the perfect amount of space. We arrived late afternoon, and check-in was quick and smooth. The beds were comfortable as were the pillows. There were plenty of extra outlets for charging everyone’s phones. There was plenty of kitchenware and fridge space although we didn’t really use any of it this stay. We did encounter some ants on the kitchen counter and dining table even though we didn’t have any food in the place (we ate all of our meals at local restaurants and did not bring back any leftovers/takeaway), but ants can happen anywhere, anytime so we did not get worked up over it. The place was otherwise clean and cozy. If we return to the area, we would happily stay here again."

Prince's Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful!"

Park Central Rotorua

"Older building, but clean, well maintained and very comfortable bed."
