Beautiful motel! We had a wonderful stay in our family mezzanine apartment, which was spacious, clean, and warm. Relaxing in the courtyard spa pool was a perfect way to end our day. The manager had exceptional customer service, as did the owner. We will definitely return here when we're next in Rotorua.
Spent labour weekend at the arista of rotoura the rooms where beautiful, warm and very comfortable.
Plenty of space for a big family had DVDs to watch, sky tv, books, spa, wifi, kids playground and more.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Close to town perfect location.
If you want a child friendly, clean, warm place to say book now!!!
Great size, clean and staff were very friendly. One of the electric blankets was not working and while it didn't bother me the staff had it changed over without a fuss. They recommended a Maori experience which was awesome. Would definitely recommend this place to stay.
Totally exceeded expectations. The kids were blown away when we arrived with a cool mezzanine and lots of beds. The place was a great size, with modern fittings and even a hot tub outside which was a hit! Staff were extremely friendly with lots of local recommendations. Stayed there for 4 nights and would definitely be back if we come back to Rotorua. Only minor downside is the distance to downtown, but that didn't detract from our experience.
Great motel. Interesting family owners.
Private hot tub, large, clean, beautiful accommodation and very friendly staff.
Friendly staff Spacious! Very good for family and close to aminities. The only motel we stay at whenever in town so far.
When searching for a place to stay in Rotoura, we had a hard time finding options other than motels or the Polynesian Spa. We wanted something in between and took a chance on the Arista. We were not disappointed. We booked the One Bedroom Mezzanine which had a kitchenette, bathroom and living room downstairs and the bedroom with a queen bed and 2 twin beds upstairs. The unit wasn't brand new, but it was clean and well appointed.
One of the best benefits was the local knowledge of the front desk staff. He knew pretty much every option to be explored in a 20-mile radius, and he had discount offers at all of them. Don't be afraid to ask. They will make sure you are taken care of.
There is a washer and dryer on-site but plan ahead because lots of the guests take advantage of it.
The shower in the bathroom does not have a door or a ledge around the edge on the floor, just a curtain, so the bathroom floor ends up very wet and slippery.
Be aware that the unit does not have air conditioning, so there's no way to block out the smell during the summer months. On some days it is barely noticeable, but on others it can be very strong.
Another thing to note (and they do spell this out on the website) is that the free wi-fi only includes 3GB in a 24-hour period. Anyone with teenagers knows that can be exhausted just by checking SnapChat several times. You pay for additional usage after the 3GB.
Excellent place to stay. We stay every year!
Awsome place to stay, the host is very welcoming and helpful. Loved the daily room cleaning services, and the units are perfect.
Great location and super friendly staff. The place is in very good condition and clean. I wouldn't mind staying here again if visiting Rotorua.
