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.
Stayed with family members. Checked in late but no issues at all. Room had what we needed, kitchen, bathroom and good sized room. Good location, walking distance to lake front and hot pool spa which was great. Would stay again.

Me & my family loved our stay. I would recommend this motel. Amazing staff, unit was clean and all, but the shower needs to be upgraded. The outdoor pool & hot pool was amazing. Our stay was wonderful. Thank you to the staff that has helped & preparing our units for us.
It was in walking distance to shops and restaurants. The room we had was very spacious.

Easy to book online, reasonable price for a unit that was spacious, rooms were worn down and could do with a but of an upgrade and deep clean, check in and check out was easy, staff friendly, plenty of hot water for showers, we had our own parking spot and it was situated close to town and Kuirau Park beds were comfortable
There was a great natural thermal pool but property in a noisy location and had a noisy pipe clanging all night. very dated and tatty. Needed renovation. Wall heater not working some power points not working. Paid Laundry had clutter all around. Didnt see staff unless i phoned them. Would not stay again.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Accommodation did NOT match the photos in any way, extremely miss leading.
Fridge did not work, graffiti on the heater in lounge area, dirty foot prints on wall in bedroom, stains on single bed bedspread, dead insects on whole roof of bathroom. Desperately needs a fresh makeover.
Bed linen was clean tho.

Limited instructions and poor condition of furniture and chattels.
Clean linen, warm, private pool was nice, but intrusive to get filled.
We enjoyed our stay. Manager is really helpful and friendly. Hot pools are awesome. However few things could be better like tv had internet but was not working. Utensils were not properly clean we didnt mind re washing them. Cooking top had some oil spill from last visitor may be which created odour in the room. One of the cupboard in the kitchen was broken.
Comfortable, clean bed. Everything else in need of serious update. No mirror in bathroom and no hot water. Noisy. Overall quality of accommodation was disappointing.

The room was convenient to access and the car close to the unit. The bedrooms were clean and the bedding good.
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.
Very friendly, very accommodating, very approachable staff from.reception to cleaners.
Negative: we did not mind the building as very old but to see cobwebs, red stains on walls, very old and looking unclean carpet, cockroach on floor, and wobbly bathroom floor is something we need tp feedback for everyone's safety and comfort.
The bed was so soft and too bouncy we never got a good sleep. The room smelt really old, towels smelt as if not washed properly.
Apologies for this feedback.
