We stayed at the Braeside for two nights in May. It was a casual booking with our selection, on the hoof, based on the AA Accommodation Guide for New Zealand. Staff were friendlt and very helpfull. The room spaceous, well equiped and clean. The private hot tub spa was a good relaxing way to finish after a day of driving... More

My wife and I needed a good break but we had a problem. As being middle aged with a dog in tow --not too many options. Then we noted that Braeside would accommodate Paddy. A lovely room in a tranquil environment. Great spa with the sound of a nearby stream to soothe the brain. The hosts were friendly and most... More

Honestly I can't say I have ever encountered similarly friendly service at a motel. The owners man the desk and you can tell they enjoy what they do; so hospitable. The room we received was a two room suite with a nice sitting room and separate bedroom. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed for preparing meals and there... More

Excellent accommodation, Friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to major attractions. Plenty of activities to keep children busy. Restaurant on site and our group had a fantastic dinner prepared by the new chef. A excellent place to stay. Pet friendly. BBQ Pool Spa

We had an unpleasant experience with the hotel staff as they have moved us from one room to another. Rooms are old but clean. Nothing special about this hotel except that it's very close to Skyline and Rainbow Springs.

Another MOST... More

We recently had a wonderful weekend at Braeside with our three sons and their families to celebrate my husband's milestone birthday. Karen made sure everything went off smoothly and our catered dinner on the saturday evening by their new chef was exceptional. The motels were spotless, and there was everything for the grandchildren, playground, pool, mini golf and the children... More
