Had a really nice stay at ibis Rotorua with my partner. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was really convenient for getting around Rotorua. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely come back again!

From before I arrived, to checkout - the team was always so helpful and offered varieties of ways in which could help me with my specific needs. The room attendants were lovely, held conversation and always asked if I was okay. The room itself was amazing, spacious and just enough for me and my partner.

The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. It was fascinating to learn about the history and behind-the-scenes details of the set. The scenery was stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take memorable photos.
The comfortable luxury van made the journey relaxing and pleasant, allowing us to sit back and take in the beautiful scenery along the way.

A personal guided tour has been proactively offered by the host namely "Areiana" (if I spelled her name correctly) due to certain unforeseen circumstances. This warmest approach made our family a wonderful tour. Much appreciated
Once again, thank you very much to "Areiana"

This tour exceeded my expectations - Alan was very knowledgeable, passionate and thoughtful, ensuring that we got the best shots and were well taken care of. Most importantly, he was a super careful and safe driver, which is so rare for such long drives. Thank you!

Our Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves, and Flexi Tours experience was absolutely amazing! Hobbiton truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth, with stunning scenery and incredible attention to detail. The glowworms in the Waitomo Caves were breathtaking, and our guide, Cuppa Tea, was informative, entertaining, and even treated us to a beautiful song. Bunty from Flexi Tours made our journey even more enjoyable with his friendly personality, fascinating insights about New Zealand, and a bonus stop at a beautiful hanging bridge. Our group of four felt safe, well looked after, and had an unforgettable trip. Highly recommend these experiences to anyone visiting New Zealand! 🇦🇺

We had an incredible day along the Great Ocean Road, largely thanks to our driver, Daniel! Very patient with our group, incredibly helpful throughout the entire journey, and full of informative insights about the coastline and local wildlife. The drive was smooth, comfortable, and stress-free from start to finish. Highly recommend booking a tour with them!
