Our stay was brief as we were attending a function at the Skyline. The location couldn't have been more convenient (just a walk through the fence to get to the gondola. Although the buildings were a little date, our unit was pleasantly decorated, spacious, well aired, clean, adequately heated and quiet. The owner was very obliging and we wish her... More

My partner and I recently traveled home for a funeral and we just needed somewhere to shower and have a sleep and this place was perfect. The owner was helpful and sympathetic to our situation. As said in previous reviews the rooms aren't luxurious but comfortable, the beds especially so. Even though it is situated on a main road the... More

Thank you for the kind words. I like to think my motel is giving comfort and service to my guests for the many various reasons they need those things. Not everyone who stays with us is on a holiday & having fun. Some are in situations of sadness & grief, as in your case, others are having eye operations down... More

Roger thank you for the very nice review & your recommendations, I'm always happy when we have delivered the comfort, service, and value our guests expect. Being an older property we certainly have the room for relaxing outdoors and the apartments are very spacious. Hope to see you again in NZ. Happy memories !! More

We booked a one bedroom suite for us and our 2 children. The room was clean and relatively well equipped (no dishwasher) as we had a full dinner in the room. The motel is next door to the Skyline (luge) activity, which was very practical the next morning! Also close to Zorbing and other activities. The motel had some games... More

Great value for money. Not flashy but very comfortable, clean, and well appointed with in-room sky and wi-fi. Beds were great and staff friendly. No traffic noise or smells and our daughter loved watching the both the pet and wild rabbits

It's lovely that the children enjoyed the wildlife around the Motel, & I'm happy that the value was good for you as holidays for families can be so expensive when the kids want to see & do everything going. Thank you for making Fairy Springs Motel your accommodation of choice in Rotorua. More

We chose this motel because of its location right next to the gondalas and Rainbow Fairy springs, two places we always visit when in Rotorua. Room was good size and has what we needed, even had a decent LCD TV with full Sky, not this limited bad reception rubbish you get in other places. Room did need a good clean... More

Well I can say thank fully that a LOT of work has gone into the Motel since you visited over 8 months ago so it's not a very relevant review. I won't even bother to put my side of the story about the difficulty the guest had in finally paying by the said lost card, suffice to say I do... More

Situated on the edge of Rotorua next to the Rotorua gondola. We could walk to the gondola ticket office in 2 minutes ! But a 5 -10 minute drive from the city so you will need a car. Pretty quiet even though on the main road. Rooms are simple but comfortable enough. Friendly host, free wifi (though a bit slow)... More

This motel is located between the gondola and miniature golf course. At first I was disappointed because it seemed a bit run down from the outside. The rooms was very comfortable, although the walls are thin and we had very noisy neighbors one of the night we stayed there. There are reading lamps by the beds, a real plus for... More
