a little way from the centre of town but you could have the window & door open without having to smell the sulphur. doesn't look great from the outside but is clean & comfortable. Vicki was very helpful. on a main road but no traffic noise.

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

We had booked a room for 4 adults & 1 child but on arrival, we were given only a room that accomodated 4 people. On complaining, the new property owners gave us an adjoining room but it was very smelly and had a lot of cobwebs. Wont be going back!

Booked on line and confirmed to be advised by owner that no rooms were available. Subsequent discussions revealed that new owner had taken over 3 weeks previous and had not been provided with a proper handover. Well worth a try as the owner is very hospitable and has plans for the property which is in need of some care. May... More

Nice, clean and most of all affordable accommodation. They have a special 3 night stay @ $65 a night. Free wifi. Friendly hosts. The only cons are that the heater in the lounge is on timer and it doesn't seem to heat up very well. Bring your own soap & shampoo.

The owner was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. the children loved the playground and enjoyed the spa and the room we had was very spacious and well equipped. Being close to the skyline we went there during the day... More

Very friendly hosts offering good priced accomodation. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Away from the city centre and associated sulphur smells. Handy for the sky ride and wildlife park.

Very similalr in our views to other reviewers in that Fairy Springs is excellent value accommodation if you are staying in Rotorua. The rooms are nice, spacious and well equipped. Kids play area outside was brilliant for our two under 5's and nothing was too much trouble for Kevin the owner. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others

We stayed here as part of our holiday and have really enjoyed the space that the one bedroom option (plus bedding in the lounge) has provided. The hosts provide excellent service and respect your privacy while continuing to service the rooms thoroughly. We were lucky the time we stayed was fairly quiet but the service was still high. The spa... More
