We got this place because it could cater to a party of 7 adults + 2 kids. Surprisingly when we got the keys we could have easily slept 12-14 people as we had more beds then heads. This made our stay super comfortable. Beds were comfy and there was lots of space, it wasn't cramped. It's not a super modern motel but was great value for money, especially for a big group. I will book here again.

DO NOT BOOK HERE! EXPEDIA NEED TO TAKE THEM DOWN & THAT PLACE NEEDS TO BE CONDEMNED!!!! Absolutely disgusting the photos shown are OLD the place does not look like this. It is run down and out dated . When we arrived the reception was filthy , the man whom served me decided to answer a call mid way. Another man showed up to show me my room instead of telling me where it was. The stairs up to the room were dangerous , the room itself DISGUSTING marks all over the walls , the floors. The mattresses were stainded , the beds were broken and creaked . The shower trickled water we complained and the reception said nothing we can do you can still shower in it. I could piss harder then the shower! Also YOU CAN NOT LOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE we put a chair up against the door for our own safety. There was also no talk of them servicing the rooms daily we only knew because our rubbish was gone! I am trying to get a refund we stayed because we drove 3 hours and paid $800 which they wouldnt give back! DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

I guess it was the peak time of the season that’s why accommodation was costly and not vacant at most of the places in Rotorua. We liked the central location of the Kairu Park motor lodge. Rooms were overall tidy but need lot of renovations. Staff was cooperative. Washroom amenities were there but bath tub shower was worse. So I think if they can work on maintenance and renovation, the facility can improve a lot.

My experience at this property was completely unacceptable. The room was in extremely poor condition, and several issues raised serious concerns about safety, cleanliness, and the accuracy of the listing.

There were no fire evacuation instructions anywhere in the room, and exposed telephone wiring was hanging beneath the television. Although this was advertised as a deluxe room, nothing about it met that standard. The bedding was dirty, and both the main pool and the private pool were so poorly maintained that they could not be used.

The ceiling appeared to be held up with visible screws, and there was mould present in multiple areas. The oven had no racks, making it impossible to heat food safely. These conditions are far below what any guest should expect.

This property did not meet basic safety requirements or hygiene standards, and the listing was misleading. I strongly advise future guests to avoid this accommodation based on my experience.

Sooo... disappointed and never going to go back to the motel again. Yes! I have the reason with proof. I booked this motel seeing the 3 star facility listed in the site with pictures. I was with my family of 6 including my kids.The room number was 20, and the lady receptionist pointed us a stair which was really unsafe to climb. I paid for 2 nights prior going there. Please dont do this.Pool facility- no privacy, water temperature was too hot (1st day was okay,dont know why the next night water was super hot).
Room : very fluffly pillow and mattress. Poorly maintained.
Kitchen : found cocroaches , oven wasnt thay safe to use.
Bathroom : very small shower box with no latches and the shower tap was wall mounted with leak.
Dining table sheets were torned.
Over all experience : poor

Good location but skip the pool room

Location is great, rooms are a good size and the kitchen is great but otherwise the facilities are a bit tired. The private pool room is not worth the extra cost. It wasn’t clear during booking that the hotel staff have to control filling the pool, meaning that we weren’t able to use it when we wanted to, defeating the purpose of having a private pool.

We ended up staying somewhere else and losing our money. It felt unsafe. Windows were cracked, the door latch was dubious. The photos on the website must be the only room to have been refurnished.

Stay away!

Extremely disappointing experience. The photos on the website are completely misleading and do not reflect the actual condition of the motel. The property is old and severely run down, in desperate need of a complete renovation. The sheets were dirty, the mattress was so worn out it sank halfway down, and the shower had almost no water pressure. To make matters worse, the bathroom hair dryer didn’t work. We initially booked a two-night stay but couldn’t bear to stay the second night and checked out early. The staff were very friendly but that does not make up for the poor condition of the property. I strongly recommend avoiding this place!

The rest of the unit was slightly grubby and very worn. The couch okay but the 2 armchairs sagged badly. The dining chairs worn and not cleaned very well. The shower base had long hairs on it and needed the soap build up cleaned off. The toilet and hand basin were old and needed to be replaced. Glad we only stayed one night.

You get what you pay for in regards to the accommodation. Budget family accommodation which was great for us.

Hosts were super friendly and helpful.

We definitely would stay again :)

Large rooms and clean and functional but quite dated and could do with some modernization. Good location.

Cheap, you get what you pay for I guess. Mineral pool was wayyyy too hot to go in (temperature control must be wrong) kitchen window didn’t shut, room only had one tiny oil heater. Blanket had stain, cleaner only provided one extra towel so 4 towels total for 2 days and 3 people? If you want somewhere cheap then this is your spot

The person over the checkout was very friendly and pleasant. Unfortunately, the property and room is very tired looking. Yes, we found a cockcroach. Curtains in the kitchen were filthy, not all the lights worked, some flickers so much, it gave my daughter a fright. The mugs weren't washed properly. The place looks really tired. I think I wouldn't have minded it if we did not pay $165 for the room. For that.price, we could've gotten a more excellent room for the night. The pictures does not show how the room currently looks like. There was a picture of an outdoor pool but we did not see any. The front door looked like it was kicked into before. Gave a really creepy vibe and I couldn't sleep well at night because there were big window panes that had a block out blind but no curtains, which did not help at keeping the sounds out. Old heating system which we didn't know how to work, it wasn't so cold so it was fine. I couls hear the upstairs people wlking and sitting on their creaky spring bed. Really, if it wasn't riced as such, I would have been ready to overlook many of these things.

Stove was filthy and sticky. Bad smell when we entered the room. Towels were black or brown coloured but not white. Next day we found a cockroach in the kitchen and then we decided to move out.

Lovely and clean, however very basic, e.g no headboards, just lean up against the concrete wall. Staff were amazing!

Really liked the very friendly reception and tour of facilities. Also loved how close to town centre we were. We had the family unit, was nice and quiet at night, plenty of beds and excellent kitchen facilities.

This is the worst place we have ever stayed!
The room was dirty, had stains on floor, walls & curtains. The fridge was too bad to even use.
Oven was terrible too...with 2 elements not working, but looked too much of a safety issue to use anyway.
Heater tied to wall with piece of fabric.
Bathroom had stains & holes, plus rusting rails.
Light fittings didn't work. Wardrobe smelt so bad, couldn't even put clothes in it. Sheets very thin. Towels small & extremely thin.
Outside, plant spaces all filled with very dead plants. Roof space above front door was full of mould.
Overall, did not feel safe here. Looks nothing like pictures online. Should not be operating without a total renovation
