Murphy's Law Restaurant
4.5/5
Super convenient location for returning motorhome.
Cost $46 for 3 adults and a powered site. Was just a gravel area behind the Irish pub, but had good facilities and a hot shower. Free WiFi was a voucher each for 1hr of WiFi which wasn’t too bad as it was unlimited data. Got 10% off our meals in the pub, it was good simple food and the place had a nice vibe and good Irish tunes.

Cosy Cottage Thermal Holiday Park
3.5/5
Convenient location near the heart of Rotorua, but that comes with the smell if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.
Cost $67 for 3 Adults on a powered site. The free WiFi was just two 300mb vouchers, and one of them didn’t even give that much before cancelling. Good kitchen and bathroom facilities, and lovely hot pools. Could borrow a shovel for a $10 deposit and dig our own hot pool on the black sand beach out the back. Wasn’t as enjoyable an experience as you might be lead to believe, cold air, very hot water and scalding coarse sand, but worth it to try something new.
Thank you for your review.
Mother nature has sent us a cold breeze this season and the natural thermal activity has been changeable.
Hopefully, you can stay with us again and enjoy our natural hot pools, hangi oven, etc.

Waikite Valley Thermal Pools Campground
5.0/5
Cost $27 per adult for powered site, which wasn’t bad considering the free access to the hot springs both until 9pm that night and from 6am the next morning which would normally cost $18 per adult.
Really good customer service and a well set up campsite.

Firth Tower Overnight Camping
4.5/5
$12 flat rate for a powered vehicle is a bargain, but be cautious as there is only room for a maximum of 6 powered vehicles.
The toilets were open all night but no showers. Walked the grounds of Firth Tower Museum for free the next day, a very beautiful place to check out.
