Guest review
9.0I love staying at Kowhai Motel, the staff are absolutely amazing, the facilities are fantastic and location is perfect, so close to everything. Comfy beds and a full kitchen is wonderful. Will definitely be back.
− Loved everything.
Great stay
8.0Pool and hot pools were fantastic. Didn’t hear noise of other guests. Staff exceptional.
Nice cosy rooms, the pool and soaking pools are perfect. I'd stay here again.
8.0The old radiator heaters are great, they give off a nice heat, and your clothes dry on them in no time. I like the full oven and big fridge, well equipped kitchen. It was great being right next to the little mineral pools, so good after a brisk morning walk and in the evenings before bed.
− I was a bit uneasy leaving my car parked out on the road side, however there's good lighting and some security camera warnings which gives some reassurance.
Perfect spot, very affordable, close to town and a gorgeous hot swimming pool. Everything you need
7.0Heated pool was awesome
− It was a bit dated
Home away from home and walking distance to town
7.0Location and thermal pools 2 bedrooms Suitable for family get together Sufficient plates and cooking pots Price is reasonable for budget travellers and families
− Kitchen only had one plug to juggle toaster, microwave and kettle and not much storage to put food One park per unit Rotorua charges now for on street parking
