The property is clean, the cute bubbly stream had trout and birds, the staff was super friendly and the large three bedroom unit had all the kitchen amenities for our trip. The biggest plus is that it is right across the street from the Skyline entrance, so just walk to the day activities!
We recommend!

It was a quiet place to have good rest and at the same time it’s close enough to most of the shops and other activities. Neat rooms and nice staff will consider staying in future visits to Rotorua.

It was a convenient location and close to several attractions—nice apartment with good amenities.
Helpful and friendly staff, beautiful setting with a creek right behind the unit. Kitchen was simple and offered appliances we weren't expecting. Laundry facilities on site was a nice bonus. Only down side was the bed, which was quite firm. One of us loved it, the other not.
I used the WiFi for a zoom meeting and it was good enough for the task, thankfully.

I loved every feature of the complex. Warm, clean and modern facilities. Delicious and perfectly cooked to order breakfasts. Lovely surrounding being close to the stream and hearing it while relaxing in the spa. We are keen to stay there again and recommended it to both families and couples.

Good communication from the team. Office was closed when I arrived but they had the welcome pack ready with all the information ahead of time. The property itself is a bit old but everything inside works. One big dead bug in the bathroom but the rest of the room was clean.

Absolutely LOVED our stay here, with two adults and two young children. One bedroom suite had two large beds, so younger children were able to share.
We were greeted by exceptionally warm staff and they went above and beyond for us. Kids really enjoyed the playground, minigolf and games room. But they especially loved the warm pool (I think it was 32 degrees!) and spa.
The whole place felt so tranquil. I wish we had been able to stay longer.
If we plan another Rotorua visit, Ripple will be first on my list of places to rebook. A simply wonderful experience!
