“Very comfortable stay with friendly, accommodating hosts.”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Our two days in Rotorua were very wet and I was ill throughout but despite these factors, I have great memories of Red Rock Thermal Motel. We had a great, comfortable, clean, recently-renovated room with good internet access (great as for the second day I was in bed for most of it!) and were welcomed brilliantly by Ngata and Merryn....

“Really Conducive Ambiance And Good Customer Service provided.”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

We were at Red Rock in 2011 Dec for our yearly retreat and road-drive in NZ. We had booked the hut as there were four of us and we wanted something with a small kitchen to cook our meals while in Rotorua. The little hut is really huge and the children were very excited and happy with the place that... More

“What makes a great place to stay?”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

This is a perfect place to stop and stay in Rotorua, and I would highly recommend it as a great budget option, with extremely friendly service, and great rooms. Very relaxing sitting in the Geothermal Spa, and having easy walking access to Town, and the local Maori Village on the edge of the lake. My wife and I loved staying... More

“Kids loved the pool and trampoline”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

Lovely rooms, plenty of space. The pool and trampoline were perfect kids entertainment. We all liked the vibrant artwork, and the room access with decks out the back. Would recommend this for families.

Kia Ora Emma. We are glad to hear that you and the children enjoyed the stay here. Our outdoor heated pool and large Jumpflex trampoline are a real hit with children of all ages. Thank you taking the time to write a review and we look forward to seeing you again. Merryn & Ngata More

“Family Fun at an affordable price.”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

A great place for families. We really appreciated the cots with their linen and warm covers. Room for little ones inside and out. Merryn and Ngata were friendly, so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We really appreciated their advice and the bookings they made for us. So great not to have to hire linen and towels. Warm, clean,... More

Kia Ora Sue. Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. We are happy to provide Cots, but as we only have a couple they do need to be booked. Nothing beats a bit of local knowledge and we are both born & breed here, please to be able to book things and take advantage of... More

“We Would Come Back”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

Merryn and Ngata were helpful, friendly and informative. They asked about our interests and advised accordingly, pointing out where they could save us money by booking on our behalf. Our room was clean, quiet and secure, it was serviced daily, which was a pleasant surprise. We really liked the fact that they had organised the arrangement of the beds, which... More

“Great stopover”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

Thoroughly enjoyed our recent 2 night stay. Friendly hosts, very comfortable studio unit and private mineral pool was brilliant. One of the purposes of our trip was to experience the Rail Cruising Adventure about 20 minutes out of Rotorua. Can thoroughly recommend that as well as the Red Rock Motel.

Kia Ora Helen! Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay here with us and had time to soak in the Mineral Pool. We look forward to being able to accommodate you again in the same unit after May, as we are completely redecorating the Studio Units. I have also... More

“Great place to stay and won't break the bank!”

Fom the outside this place still looks a little like one of those old 1960's crappy NZ motels BUT that's where it ends. The rooms have been redone and are very lovely. They are not huge, but the space is well used and there is everything you need. There is enough china and cutlery to actually cook and enjoy a... More

“Very recommendable”

Reviewed 19 April 2013

Our room was spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed the privacy of the motel's spa and the closeness to the Kuirau Park and some basic shops, which all were in walking distance. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Kia Ora. Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you enjoyed the facilities of the unit and property; our mineral pool is a definite hit with guests.
