Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama

We enjoyed the quiet area, removed from the city and the sulphur smell that can be noted when driving into town. The views and property are nice (we didn’t use the clubhouse, so no comments on that). The unit was plenty big for the 4 of us and the full sized kitchen was great! They provided us with coffee, tea, sugar, and a small container of milk, which was appreciated. The in unit washer and dryer were also clean and worked well. The staff were friendly and helpful. They have games and puzzles in the office that you can check out, which is fun for a family game night. You can also check out items for ping pong, badminton, tennis, and cricket.

Staff were amazing, Josephine Karl and everyone else we met including the housekeepers. They were so hospitable. We loved that the resort was right by the most gorgeous lake. The lake had all the muted autumnal colours you would find in the Netherlands, and it was like a miniature version of the lake at Giethoorn, which we really loved. There was a large flock of gorgeous geese one evening just relaxing by the grassy banks before they took off in military formation and we captured it on video and it was such a special experience. The townhouse itself was comfortable and had a double-volume ceiling in the living and dining areas, which gave the grand illusion of space and we appreciated that, beds were comfortable and the bathroom was modern and the hot water pressure and temperature were perfect. Our kids asked if we could come back here to stay on our next trip to Rotorua, so we booked a second weekend the day we checked out of the townhouse.

The property was like a home away from home. It was so warm & comfortable. The beds were amazing to sleep in & being on a family holiday it was great that we could cook our own meals. Being out of town it was so serene & had beautiful surroundings. I couldn’t speak more highly of the wonderful staff. They did everything to make our stay amazing. So thank you so much to all of them 😊

Very nice setting. We ve had booked a 3 bedroom seaview house which had been well equiped, spacious and confortable. Our first house had a bad cooking smell from previous tenant, so they ve arranged another house very quickly. Oni ( reception) is a darling, very competent and friendly. We ve have even got a bottle of wine as an apologie. Very professional !

We loved the resort as it was quiet and the apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. Living area is downstairs and the bathroom and bedrooms were upstairs. There was a verandah to sit outside however it was a little too cold when we stayed in September and we could not use any of the outdoor facilities. In summer it would be even better though. The staff were wonderful - friendly and helpful to answer all your questions.
