Top Ruatapu Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"We got ocean view room and it was spectacular to watch the waves as weather was a bit blustery. Perfect location, situated close to everything. New World just across the road. I just found it hard to understand lady at reception when checking in as she had a very strong accent, but she was very pleasant. Shower was great, and had a spa bath if you needed. They had usb and USB-c charging ports which made life easy. Restaurant on site with good extensive menu. Enjoyed the one night stay... slept well."
