Independent in Tarawera Forest from NZ$102

"We were a bit hesitant after reading some of the online reviews online, but we needed economical accommodation for our family of four during an 8-night stay over the Easter break — and Marsden Rotorua turned out to be a great surprise! At around $108/night, we were expecting the bare basics, but the location was super convenient and the facilities were much more modern than we anticipated. The room was clean and functional, and worked really well for a family stay. We came prepared with our own cutlery, coffee decanter, and Google dongle/remote, which worked great with their quality Samsung TV — perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The room also had a heat pump with heat, cool, fan, dry, and swing functions, which made it easy to stay comfortable throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful — they even lent us an extension cord when we asked, which was much appreciated. Overall, it exceeded our expectations and turned out to be excellent economical home base for our stay. "

"Our room was big clean and convenient within the park for the toilet kitchen laundry and pools. Beds were super comfortable and had a jug fridge and toaster for convenience in our room. Highly recommend "

"Stayed with my 9 yr old for 3 nights, loads on fun activities onsite and pool was awesome! Rooms were clean and spacious. All the staff were so friendly and helpful helping us chose things tondo as well. Close to places to eat and supermarkets. Highly recommend if you have young ones. "
