I stayed here for three nights, the owner was nice enough to give me a discounted rate. The beds were clean, the spa was warm and the towels were changed daily. I didn't know where the supermarket was so the staff walked me there.

The room is big but not really clean, everything is old in the room. Water leaking from the ceiling in the toilet. The bedding is really old and dirty. I caught a flea on the bench in the bathroom. They changed the towels daily and also made the bed daily, so that's good. Parking just right in front of our... More

We arrive at the motel around 3pm and annoyingly our unit is not yet ready. (not cleaned, no towels provided etc...) we have to wait at least an hour before we can unpack our things. the place is not clean. we have seen cockroaches scattered and spider webs in the ceiling. we are dissapointed. :(

The motel was in desperate need of renovation. We were not impressed with the interior, felt like we travelled back in time to the 70s. On the upside, the unit was spacious, the private spa was great and the owner was friendly.

She also tried but with no luck,... More

We found this Motel during our tour of North Island in 2005. When we arrived at the Collingwood Gables Motel, the owners took time to chat to you and and gave us the best room since we arrived from Scotland. We had a very pleasant stay and are planning to go back next year in January. Our room was large,... More

Travelling to Rotorua from Auckland was absolutely awesome. After checking in & escorted to our 1bdrm spa bath unit was more than we expected. Everything was clean, fresh & spacious, exactly as their website advertised. Cooked most of our meals, Spa bath was a blessing, especially after a 3hour walk. Motel location close to shopping centre, restaurants, bars, etc. Enjoyed... More
