Ok to stay here if your budget is limited.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Disappointing stay.
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.
