Top Tapapa Hotel Reviews

Newina Rotorua

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a two bedroom apartment. Clean rooms, kitchen with essential items, spacious. The TV was not a smart TV which meant no YouTube or Netflix. They had other channels but found it difficult to select movies. Ideal location as across the road are numerous fast food outlets plus Woolworths grocery store and many attractions nearby. The restaurant wasn't operational. Overall a good stay."

Tower Road Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the Tower Road Motel was just excellent. Clean & tidy, everything you needed for either a one-night stay or more. Close to Matamata for what ever you needed. It was just perfect for travelling around the whole area and I have recommended it to my friend who lives in Matamata."
