Fabulous, friendly service who met sure all needs were met. Room had a great view and definitely a good stop! Great place to chill out after a day of adventures, which meant we never had to drive too far as we were quite central!

Bad internet and sky

Reviewed By Aftashockzz

Nice rooms and spa baths ect. But was very disappointed with the internet (wifi) it was horrible would disconnect continuously as well as the sky . So when we wanted to chill and watch a movie we barely could. Apart from that it was great but that was a big let down.

A gem in a great location.

We like Rotorua, particularly the Redwoods for mountain biking, the town centre for shopping and eateries, and of course the geothermal experience. In the past I have preferred to stay a little out of town but on this occasion decided to give Cosy Cottage a try and we were very pleased we did. Andrew and his team run a very pleasant, clean and well appointed site. Necessary facilities were all there and the park is well laid out. The city centre is an easy walk and, after a day riding in the Redwoods, the hot pools were a wonderful way to sooth our aching muscles. Added bonus was that our pitch felt it had underfloor heating! We will become regular visitors at Cosy Cottage.

Worst honeymoon ever!!!!

Reviewed By MrsSveistrup99

False advertising on Booking.com when looking, then arrived and didn’t get what was on the website at all. It was old and out-dated, the bathroom was way too small (height-wise) for the average human (my husband is 6’3ft and I’m 5’9 and we both struggled to use the bathroom facility). My husband could smell black mold on arrival as well, which is unsafe for someone like myself who has asthma. Half of the items that are listed are not there, such as soundproofing. I live in a busy city in an apartment block not far from the main roads, bars, train tracks, as well as an airport and we have more soundproof rooms here than at a supposed 4 star resort. We were there for our wedding and honeymoon, it honestly affected the whole honeymoon for us and we had to come home early in the end as the bed was so uncomfortable it messed up my husband’s back. We felt they didn’t really care about making the experience enjoyable for us, we felt we were more a money-making machine than a customer who is entitled to a good experience, especially when staying at a supposed 4 star resort, with a spa attached (which I found through review you have to pay for, $30 to sit in a lukewarm spa). We didn’t let the staff know of these problems as we found them rude and unprofessional, especially at check in. On check in, as my mother had booked the place, I thought it was paid for. Just to find out from a very rude manager, that it had not been paid for. He then went on to be very condescending towards myself and my mother on the phone when I had to ring her up. And as a couple who has worked in hospitality before, it was OHS nightmare honestly. We didn’t eat at the restaurant as it looked closed the whole time and it was very over priced for small portions. We also didn’t use the spa section as well, due to price and the fact we saw reviews about the spas not being warm. We will never be returning and I will definitely NOT be recommending anyone stay here unless you enjoy back pain and getting the flu or Covid-19 with the black mold in the rooms.
