Kowhai Motel Rotorua

Place is in desperate need of an upgrade, broken windows , toilet hanging of the wall , very dated but bed was clean and sleepable

Very near an interesting park and a Lake Rotorua lakeside walk.

The property and the team were amazing and helped with all our requirements. Had a great stay and will definitely return when back in town.

This is an excellent value for money motel. The accommodation is spacious, clean and functional. Location is ideal for accessing town centre, lake, parks and restaurants. Helpful management team if you need anything. We booked for one night and stayed for 4.

Very smelly and dreary accommodations. As we are traveling for months through New Zealand and this was our 27th accommodation we knew by now that these sort of motels booked by *********** did not live up to expectations so we tried to cancel already a few weeks in advance. Unfortunately it was a non refundable booking so we just hoped for the best. Upon arrival it was as bad as I thought. The worst thing was the smell outside from the drains right next to our window. The chairs were too big for the room and the floor underneath covered in dust.cobwebs with dust balls hanging from the ceiling, old wires everywhere. A manky old cookplate somewhere on top of a cupboard. The only nice thing was the pool. Even though everything around it was broken and old the pool,itself looked reasonably clean. As for the mineral baths, horrible! Looked like a health hazard to me. In future I’m Steering well clear of these sort of motels. Basic does not have to equal dirty and broken.
