Book a hotel near Karatu Playground, Karatu

"As the name would imply, the hotel is located uphill from the main street of the town. The rooms were spacious and were separated by a wall, so each person had their own section. The bathroom was an issue as the toilet, sink and shower were all in the same place, so that if someone had a shower, the whole floor would get wet. The wi-fi was inconsistent but worked better in the dining area. The restaurant had minimal options and you had to order what you wanted for the evening hours beforehand. I did not expect too much from this hotel but the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially in finding us something to do on our free day there. There are no lifts, so a bit of walking to do to get to your room. "

"Comfortable budget rooms with lovely staff. Very popular with the tour guides. "
