This motel has seen better days. The managers are friendly and helpful but the quality of the rooms is poor. The bathroom at the back of the unit was quite dirty in the corners and all the fittings were very dated. It is a budget motel and for the price you would be better looking at one of the newer...

Stayed at Midway for two nights while visiting Rotorua tourist sites. We were two friends traveling New Zealand in rental car. We booked this to get separate bedrooms. One upstairs (which holds 3 beds) and one down stairs. For this configuration, only (small) drawback is that one has to pass (and stumble into) the down stairs bed on ones way... More

Plenty of space for 2 couples and two small children in the larger 2 storey units (a novelty for my Kiwi grandaughter). Agree with other reviews regarding the owners and the well equipped units but the units are starting to show their age. We all enjoyed the thermal pool with its constant supply of hot water. So much better than... More

We booked this Motel at an I~site miles away and were so pleased when we arrived! We were greeted warmly at the desk and taken to our room by Jenni (the owner/manager). The room was clean, large and had a kitchenette as well as it's own thermal soaking pool! We were only there one night, and my husband and I... More

In Feb 2012 we stayed for three days in this motel and received a 1st class welcome from the owners. We had travelled all day to get there and submerging ourselves in the room spa was wonderful. The accommodation was spotless and well equipped and the service impecable, including easily obtainable free wifi, huge room on two levels, and even... More

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Jenni and Ross for our stay at Midway Motel. Our kids really enjoyed the spa pool, being able to wake up and have a dip straight away was amazing! From the very moment we stepped in we felt welcomes, with a great - nothing is too much attitude - thank you.

We have been before in this motel over the years and it has been sad to see the continuous decline of this place due to lack of maintenance; so this was the last time for us. The owner keeps the same well-trained smile and the motel looks very tired indeed. There is no lack of motels in Fenton Street and,... More

We spent one night here as we were travelling through different cities each day. This was a very friendly little motel. The lady who ran it was extremely helpful. She even stayed up late to let us get our laundry done! Our room was spacious and clean and had a kitchen included. All the rooms have little indoor hot tubs... More

I have stood in Midway Motel with my wife and baby daughter during our trip around New Zealand. The place is well located, close to Rotorua center, restaurants and supermarkets. The room has a good size, with TV, free internet and kitchen furniture - we like a lot the spa within the bathroom pumped with the natural hot water that... More

Our reservation started very positively when I was personally shown around the room by the owner. Our Double Room was spacious and offered a kitchenette and sitting area. My partner and I enjoyed the hot plunge pool which offered a welcome chance to relax after exploring the other natural wonders in the area. The motel is centrally located near various... More
