It was a perfect accomodation to stay in for 2 nights. Very clean and comfortable, especially the manager was super kind so she made us feel at home. I want to say thank her again for giving us an early check- in.

The bathroom was spacious with a separate large jet tub. The bed was fabulous and entire room spacious. There was even an outdoor patio. This was an unexpected pleasure. The room was spotless and seemed brand new. Great location just a few minutes walk to cafes and restaurants fronting the lake. Christine and Dave were friendly and helpful. This is an exceptional accommodation.

The rooms were spacious and clean. My family stayed in Turangi Motel with 5 groups of family friends. We occupied 7 rooms altogether and it was amazing. The place was peaceful and relaxing. The management of the motel are very accommodating and friendly too. Highly recommended!

The 4 apartments that we booked at Brylin Motel during winter school holiday are exceptional. I have not seen a very clean and home-like accommodation in Rotorua, none like Brylin Motel. The rooms and toilets are very spacious too. Amber is friendly and amazing. She has been very helpful and accommodating to my groups' needs. She has been very kind and understanding with the hectic activities and noises of having a big group like us. Thank you Brylin Motel!!! 100% highly recommended.

Location close to town, and not far from ferry to Auckland city. Also close to the Chelsea sugar factory were we booked a tour. The apartment was very tidy and enough room, free parking onsite.

Motel 6 exceeded my expectations. The room was very comfortable also with full SKY available which was a bonus. It was also very very clean. I would stay at Motel 6 again and no doubt will stay there on my next visit to Whangarei.

Fantastic motel - service, cleanliness, lovely room...everything. We needed a late check in and this was not a problem - heating had been turned on in the room (thank goodness), and very helpful staff everytime we rang about our changing checkin. Just brilliant.

My parents enjoyed everything about their stay at Kauri Motel. From the lovely Jacqui who gave them a room upgrade and a complimentary drink. The room was clean, spacious and had comfortable bed. We will be back again for sure.
