Best Rotorua Spa Hotels

I'll start with the things I liked. The breakfast buffet. It was nice to have a quick way to get a good breakfast at the hotel. The decorating in the lobby was very nice. Now the not to nice parts: The room was cramped with 2 queen-sized beds. (Though it did have a refrigerator and kettle.) I opened the curtains to be surprised by shredded sheers. The wi-fi was very poor. The access is not handicap accessible. The front steps did not have a railing. The ramp was great for luggage, but would not have accommodated a wheelchair. (I have bad knees and use a cane.) They seems understaffed. A common problem throughout our trip. But the staff was helpful. They acknowledged the torn sheers and have plans to replace them all.

The motel is located in the city center and is convenient for travel. The boss was very enthusiastic and introduced a lot of useful information. Thank you again!

Got a warm welcome and the heating was on on a cold wet night. The Hurricanes can be seen winning again on Sky Sports. Thank you for providing these. Regarding the facilities: they look very old. The carpet was broken and a bit dirty. The heater wheel was broken and the window frame was broken so it wasn't very safe. To my surprise there was a charge for a small bottle of milk. Maybe it's time to invest in some updates.

The motel units are clean, comfortable, and adequate for a short stay. I had left a telephone message before arrival, and not had any reply, so when we arrived and I introduced myself, the young lady explained to me that the owners do not speak English, and she, herself is only a part time worker who helps them out. HOW in NZ, can this happen? The criteria for living and working in NZ, as a foreigner, is that English is tested prior to working visa's or residency is granted (being an immigrant myself, I know this first hand!). Despite this language barrier, which is more annoying than anything else, our stay was comfortable. The unit could do with a freshen up - coat of paint, new bathroom floors, shower glass cleaned better etc. We chose this motel as it had a hot tub, but the tub annoyingly switches off every supposed 8 - 10 minutes. This seemed more like every 5 minutes and the re-set switch is so far away from the tub, you have to hop out in the COLD to switch it back on! So much for my relaxing time. The motel request to avoid using the hot tub after 10pm is realistic and understandable, and we were happy to comply. I'm sure we will return, possibly. Hope the re-set hot tub switches are moved by then!

Oh dear, where do I start? The unit (16) had a strange smell on entry......not the Rotorua pong we all know....but stale and greasy. The kitchen was beyond usable and the fridge was mucky. Stored a few wrapped goods in the larder but wouldn't use glassware, crockery or cutlery. Bathroom also needed better cleaning: base of shower door and windowledges were dirty. There is nothing welcoming in this unit.....no pictures, no clocks, no colour anywhere other than the bedding. Which brings me to the bedroom......there's nowhere to store clothes: in each of the bedrooms there is a cupboard but it has no shelves or rail and could barely be opened due to the position of the bed. Under the bed was in need of a Hoover. The lounge is OK although furniture could do with replacing.....just old and past its best. The whole place is soul-less. Car park is difficult to negotiate. Now there are a few good points: Location - an easy walk into town: the unit has Sky TV: Beds were comfortable and towels good quality. I mentioned my concerns at checkout but received no apology / explanation, just a smile and told that this was the only room available..... Sorry Kowhai Motel.....I am very disappointed. You can do better.

What a Great Motel ( a little dated ) but very clean , the price reflexes that , had everything we needed, the staff were very friendly & accommodating, we had storage for our E Bikes ( which was very important to us ) , the Motel was very close to everything & lots of biking trails , it had a heated swimming pool washing facilities etc , we certainly would return & would Highly Recommend

We stayed in the two bedroom apartment and it was perfect for our family. The apartment was modern, spacious and clean and close to town. Staff were so lovely and helpful too. We stayed next door around 10 years ago, so it was great to revisit Rotorua and know we would be staying in top accommodation!

The room is tidy The Chinese ones are different, they have Chinese service, there is a laundry room, everything is very convenient, and the room can see the lake.

Good place for wedding and parties, located beside Lake Rotoiti, very scenic and beautiful. And on our experience the suite has a very spacious living area with a couch and a center table, a jacuzzi, a bath with heated floors, and a nice comfortable king sized bed. We will go back and have another staycation again.
