Clean and cozy rooms just enough for you to stay rested while in the room. Locatio is superb as its within near a church, medical centre, playground and the famous Eat street. Plenty of parking within the vicinity. Same owner with Novotel so access to gym and spa in Novotel is allowed using the Ibis access card. Overall, a cheaper option to stay in Rotorua.

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.

It was a great day. Hobbiton was whimsical and detailed with a delicious lunch, Waitomo caves were beautiful, and the drive from Waitomo back to Rotorua was an experience of it self with breathtaking views

A very interesting and informative tour. The guide is native living in that area. She was very knowledgeable and her commentary was very clear.

Both of the main attractions, the Glowworm Caves and the Geothermal Valley, were better than some of the Australian attractions I visited last year, and were of a higher quality and more distinctive. The driver, Mike, was very proactive and had an in-depth knowledge of the Maori people. In addition to driving, he also led the work of the tour guide and team leader, and gave a detailed account of Maori history along the way, which made the long journey of several hours less boring. Although there was WiFi available on the bus, I only had the opportunity to ask the driver for the password after getting on the bus and stopping for a short break. It would be better if the driver could proactively tell everyone the password before departure.

It was really amazing to see the geyser, thermal park and understand the Maori culture. The burger lunch is delicious too.
