Ripple Rotorua

Bed is too small for sharing between 3 pax. A musky smell when stepped into the room, should have included a freshener or air filter in the room! Location is good

- great location just opposite to the Rotorua Skyline & rainbow spring - great restaurant, nice food & delicious - room was good. we spent 2nights here. - all staffs are friendly - highly recommend

My wife and I from Toronto Canada visited our son in Rotorua and stayed at Ripple for five days. The service was incredibly attentive and friendly, and our room was very clean and comfortable. The location is a quiet oasis close to all the major tourist attractions, with the brook a beautiful and peaceful place to read a book or simply listen to the plentiful birds. The local family who now owns it have the highest of standards and we would recommend staying at Ripple to anyone.

A lot of motels are the same, nice but it's just a motel. What set Ripple apart for me was the personal service. The staff were very friendly, I felt they were personally involved and I wasn't just a customer. I rang before booking to ensure I was getting what I was looking for and the folks who own Ripple were great to talk to and rang several times to ensure things were ok.

This is a surprisingly great place to stay! A hidden gem! To start off, Chloe and another staff mentor, who checked us in were so friendly, helpful, personable, went out of their way! Our room was so spacious, clean, lots of amenities (including hot tub and air con)! Behind our room was a beautiful sanctuary. We highly recommend room 12! The hotel is centrally located but hidden off the Main Street and is very quiet! Highly recommend!!

Everything about this place is amazing. We did have a few issues with hot water and the spa bath kept turning itself on randomly throughout the day and night which was a bit spooky,but just turned it off from electric box.it however didn’t detract at all from the experience. I did have a lovely relaxing jacuzzi bath every afternoon we were there with a cold glass of bubbly. The staff are all totally amazing and if it were up to me would get a huge pay rise!!!😂😂😂. I have to say a huge thank you goes to Kara who went above and beyond for us as she volunteered to drop me at the supermarket when she finished work as we were a bit stuck we didn’t have a car & the motel doesn’t do meals on Sunday nights.so she very kindly took me to get some food.The other staff we met Poppie & Kirstine (I really hope I have spelt their names correctly)were also really friendly knowledgeable and welcoming.we had room 10 which is closest to the restaurant and has 2 bedrooms,kitchen and living room.it was a very good size for us with quite a bit of room & as I say a jacuzzi out the back which was private. There is also a lovely stream walk which took 10 mins at the most but was very peaceful charming and relaxing.there is a short 9 hole mini golf or pitch & putt not sure which,it was easy fun with an awful lot of cheating from everyone otherwise we would have been there all day. We also played pooh sticks (which a lot of you will have to look up)you cross the stream twice,so 2 chances!!!wonderful.took us all back to our childhood. This place is amazing mainly because of the staff but also very homely and easy going with no problem if you want etc towels or milk,whatever you want or need. Absolutely brilliant and we would all definitely stay here again Once again aHUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF AND HOUSEKEEPING STAFF.we hope to see you all soon.
