I'd echo the other reviews. The motel looks like it was originally built in the 70s, but has been renovated carefully. Our room was very clean and the location, though lacking much of a view, was quiet in terms of road noise.The spa pool was great and the service was friendly. Handy to the Kauaeranga Valley - we stayed overnight... More

Also the room that we had, i felt it was quite roomyThere was some road noise, the only thing that was loud was the siren for the volunteer fire brigade (which I recognised straight away), apart from the little...

This was a lovely motel on a quiet street. Our room had a separate bedroom and lovely patio. Mary, our hostess, greeted us with friendly suggestions on what to see and how to travel on the Coromandel peninsula. Her suggestions were very helpful. She also presented us with a small bottle of milk so we could have a "cuppa" before... More

Not really sure what we were expecting, but we were pleasantly surprised by the Rolleston Motel when we stayed recently. The motel was comfortable, light, airy, quiet, and exceptionally clean! The bed was comfortable and the hosts were very friendly. Great value really! Don't let the dated construction of the motel put you off. It's clean and fresh inside with... More

We spent our first night in NZ here. Considering it was new years eve, we both slept well. We thought it might be noisy but wasn't. The motel is a bit dated but very clean & comfortable & with a good kitchenette. The manager was very helpful - marking the town map where restaurants etc. are located. Recommended The Brew... More

We arrived early Jan 2013 for 2 nights (one day) and was pleasantly surprised. Don't worry about first impressions, the building looks a bit dated but our room was clean, quite spacious with plenty of light and well equipped for a short stay. The pool was not heated on our visit but there was a heated spa. There is a... More

The motel was very clean and welcoming. The room was a little dark but spacious, with cooking facilities. It had an outside sitting area, which was overlooked by the motel next door but not annoyingly so. The outdoor heated swimming pool was good and there was an outside spa pool beside it which was lovely and warm. It was a... More

This is an older style motel but it was spotlessly clean, airy and spacious. The shower was good and the bed comfortable. We had flown in from Sydney and so it was good to find a huge supermarket just down the road called Pak Lite. We stocked up for breakfast and a picnic lunch the next day. There are various... More

Rolleston Motel in Thames is located close to the road from Auckland but still very quiet. The rooms are equipped with kitchen. A small deck is located in front of the room, the view is not stunning. The rooms are clean, staff is nice.
