I stayed three nights at Bay Palm Motel and cannot fault the service or facilities. The owners were so lovely and welcoming. Room was clean, quiet and had everything I needed for my stay. It was an easy taxi ride to the Stadium where my conference was being held and a short walk to the Mall and the beach. I would definitely recommend this Motel if you are looking for somewhere out of the main centre to stay.

This two storey Motel is set - back from the Main Rd around the corner from the lights and hospital. It has a lift to above rooms making it manageable if you have a heavy case. There rooms are spacious and impeccably clean. Adjacent to the Motel is a pharmacy and cafe. A couple of blocks heading towards the city is 2 Supermarkets. We found this complex a great quiet place to stay in and recommend it, if you prefer to be just down the road from the city centre.

I recommend asking for a high floor and a harbour view - we were on the 9th floor and it was amazing. Just gorgeous, room was great, clean, warm, well stocked, great big comfy beds. I couldn't find a remote for the TV in the bedroom, so didn't use it which was mildly irritating (it was after 8pm so I didn't want to phone after-hours staff to ask, and turning TV on the button on the side, I couldn't get it to show the right AV channels or whatever set up was required, so I just watched in the...

Where do I start. This hotel was absolutely amazing. From the minute we arrived, we were impressed with our warm welcome, our beautiful room, comfy bed and tranquility of our view. Everything about our stay was fabulous. Although several kms from the town centre, the short drive to Rotorua was pleasant. It was lovely to be away from the busyness of town. Value for money was incredible. I cannot rate this hotel high enough. Highly recommend!
