Quest Rotorua is
TripAdvisor’s “best
in New Zealand”
Two Rotorua accommodation providers
have taken out their categories in the 2017
TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards, with
a number of others ranked among the best
in the country.
Quest Rotorua Central has
been declared the best
hotel in New Zealand,
with Arista of Rotorua named
the best family hotel in the
country and Cedarwood
Lakeside Motel ranked second
in the family category. Sport
of Kings Hotel also featured
in the top 10 lists as the sixth
best hotel in New Zealand for
service.
Websites like
TripAdvisor have
become a key tool in
the decision-making
process for modern
travellers.
Quest Rotorua Central owners
Colin and Lisa MacPhee
opened the hotel four years
ago after careers working in
luxury accommodation providers,
including Huka Lodge and
Cape Kidnappers.
“The team at Quest Rotorua
Central is extremely proud of
such a placing on the world’s
largest travel site,” says Mr
MacPhee. “All staff are dedicated
to a customer-first
approach in all that we do
which is recognised by our
guests.”
"It is a great honour to
attain such an accolade on
TripAdvisor and we appreciate
the positive feedback received
from our guests in recognition
for the quality of service and
product offering we have at
Quest Rotorua Central.”
TripAdvisor, the world’s
largest travel planning and
booking site, determines its
Traveller’s Choice Winners
based on millions of reviews
and opinions collected in a single
year from TripAdvisor travellers
worldwide. Remarkable
service, quality and value are
all hallmarks of these awards.
“Websites like TripAdvisor
have become a key tool in
the decision-making process
for modern travellers,” says
Destination Rotorua chief
executive Michelle Templer.
“They provide an open forum
where a visitor can share their
experience which in turn can
have a huge impact for that
business.”
“Rotorua is fortunate to
have a large number of quality
accommodation options and
passionate people working in
this industry and it is fantastic
that these outstanding Rotorua
accommodation providers
have been recognised for their
excellence.”
