Staff lovely and very helpful. Rooms clean and free wifi. Couldn't ask for more! Nothing was too much trouble. About 5 blocks out of the centre of town. Rotorua is a very smelly place because of the sulphur but this can't be helped!

Thank you for your lovely review, it is always good to know what our guests think, keeps us on our toes and of course our housekeeping staff love to get the feedback too. Yes it can be a bit smellie sometimes but then it wouldn't be such a beautiful and interesting place to visit. All the Best More

What a great place to stay. The rooms are spotless, lovely and modern with all you need at your fingertips. I honestly couldnt fault the Emerald Spa if I wanted to. Highly recommend to anyone looking for one of the best places in Rotorua to book a room here.

This place was staffed by friendly and helpful folks...I think we met all 3 who work in the front (owners I'm guessing), and one housekeeper, and all were warm and welcoming. The room itself was sparkling clean, well-equipped with kitchenette and a huge (clean!) spa tub, free and functional internet, and a comfortable bed. Very convenient location. A little noise... More

Awesome hospitality at this motel. You are not just handed your key and told where to find your room, but instead you are shown to your room and told how to use the air con remotes etc . Helpful information is available at the desk and discount vouchers available for some sights. The room was fantastic with a huge spa... More

We stayed for one night in a studio room and it was great. Room was nice, clean, and modern. It had a small kitchenette as well with everything we needed. Bathroom had a big spa bath in it. The pool is really nice and heated too. Would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I stayed here and my only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Amazing service from the owners and a massive in-room spa made for a fantastic weekend. Very knowledgeable about local attractions and only too happy to help. I highly recommend it.

Service at this motel was excellent. Julie, who I believe to be one of the owners was extremely nice and friendly. Showed us to our room, provided milk and a small welcome basket (cookies, potato chips and chocolates). Explained the facilities of the room and the motel complex, including letting us know about the 50 digital tv channels, that she... More

Central location, very helpful and friendly staff, excellent bed, comfortable sitting room furniture, magnificent bathroom with private spa. We stayed three nights while exploring the Rotorua area, and enjoyed every minute. Very good continental breakfast delivered to the room gave a good start to the day.

Stayed there recently on the way down the North Island. Very nice place, good facilities and the staff were very friendly. Also well located for the city centre. Had a great massage there to wind down from all the travelling. Would thoroughly recommend this place (and the massages).
