We visited NZ for our honeymoon and stayed at the Distinction Hotel and Holiday Inn in Rotorua for 8 nights. The booking was made by honeymoon specialists - Antilog Vacations. They had arranged for a complete package deal and that too at an affordable rate. The hotel has one of the most excellent reception areas we had ever seen. The doorway provided an amazing sight of the interspersing blue and green scenery. Moreover given the lovely climes of Rotorua prevailed throughout our stay and the weather and sun did not play spoilsport.
Located in the Bay of Plenty, the resort gets its name from Te Rotorua-nui-a-Kahumatamomoe or the second great lake of Kahumatamomoe. It enjoys a perfect positioning. The staff at the reception – esp. Steve was quite adept and ensured we faced no hassles in relocation to our room. A stockily built suite of around 45 sq mt greeted us on our arrival. The linens were spotlessly clean and the bed had multiple pillows. I usually sleep with extra side pillows and was not complaining!! ☺ The curtains were covered by the blackout drapes which provided a nice cushion to the conditioned air especially in the afternoons.
The nearby towns of Tauranga, Taupo and the speciality of the area or the geothermal zones and the hot geysers at the Pohutu Geyser and at the Whakarewarewa region provided a kind of healing therapy and also offered amazing views of the ocean. The lakes and the hot mud pools were an ideal place to go over through the bridge and spend some quality time. The evergreen pine forests and hills were located nearby and accentuated the experience.
Thus the Distinction Hotel is a picturesque hotel and is highly recommended based on our experience, especially with the services of Antilog Vacations team.
