“A memorable Motel”

Reviewed 10 May 2013 NEW

We stayed for 3 nights in a very comfortable room with good facilities, including a very interesting spa bath/shower.. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The mineral pool in the garden was great and the garden it self is very pretty.

My Wife and I stayed with our two grand daughters for two nights during the first week of the school holidays and will stay again when in Rotorua.
The service we received from the hosts was outstanding and friendly with good advice for local attractions And dining.
We had a two bedroom unit and completely happy with it being clean and tidy with everything you could want.
The children loved the treasure hunt and pool and also the free wifi available they were able to Skype there parents.

“Great place to stay”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

My parents, two children, and I spent our last two nights of a 2-week NZ trip at the Malfroy Motor Lodge, and it was a fantastic ending to our vacation. Ron was incredibly friendly, the apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was one of the larger apartments of all the places we stayed at throughout the country. They even had a "treasure hunt" to keep my kids busy searching for items around the property -- It kept the kids busy long enough for me to get us settled, and the kids even got a reward when they were done! I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Agroventures Rotorua

Tucked off Fairy Springs Road is a relatively new addition to the Agrodome – Agrodome Extreme Adventures! Many visitors come to New Zealand specifically for the adventure tourism and to get their adrenaline pumping. This place has the lot all in one place, I can tell you that it really hits the spot. Bungy jumping, swings, racing, jet boating and even a simulated freefall! I was blown away.

Although you can take one ride individually, I would recommend a combination ticket to get the full experience here – my pick being the Schwoop (swing). The freefall is also good fun, but tricky to get the hang of – if you are really keen it is worth paying for the extended time.

River Rats Rotorua, Rangataiki River

The team will pick you up from MALFROY Rotorua accommodation. The Rangataiki river is a good medium length trip that takes about 3-4 hours with a good range of different rapids along the way. This trip gives you the chance to get a bit of exercise, so quite a bit of paddling is required (in a good way).

There’s a decent drive to get to the river (over half an hour), quite scenic – and the guides will point out some of the interesting historical spots along the way. A fun and friendly trip down a classic NZ river – has a bit of everything that makes rafting so worth while. Highly recommended.

This video just shows one of the amazing river adventures in Rotorua!

Kaitiaki Adventures - Kaituna river

Kaitiaki Adventures Rotorua

The team will pick you up from MALFROY accommodation. This rafting outfit takes its name seriously being conscientious and respectful of the historical as well as current life of the river. Kaitiaki Adventures have the highest levels of service in the industry and ensure that you have as fun, safe and educational a time as possible – with no existing experience necessary.

The Kaituna trip itself takes about three quarters of an hour with not much stress on the arms in the way of paddling (not to say you don’t need to dig in at times). This is an amazing river and is the penultimate high energy ride. With the largest raftable waterfall in the southern hemisphere to finish it off – this is a trip you will not forget.

Kaitiaki tours is situated next to Hells Gate, approximately 20 minutes from town. The river is approximately 10 minutes bus ride from there. The facilities are all environmentally friendly, from the toilets to the water collection system – so if you are worried about your environmental foot-print – it will probably have shrunk by the end of this trip. On our trip the entire raft with six adults on board completely submerged and popped back up with all on board. It is at this stage that you are thankful for the Karakias (prayers) said on the trip - especially once you learn the historical nature of this section of the river.

Overall a well run and enjoyable trip that leaves you tingling with excitement and wellbeing. Excellent! The photographs of your trip down the river will really impress your friends (well worth while).
