I just got the chance to write a review on this place. I stayed there with my boyfriend and we booked a room on the first floor (Room 112 if I'm not mistaken) You can park your car right across the room. The room is LARGE. We got a double bed and a single bed. With sofa, dining table and... More

I found the New Castle Motor Lodge through a deal on Wotif. Upon arrival the owner showed me to our room and was very helpful on giving her advice as to which Maori village has a good hangi dinner and show. The entire lodge has been updated within the last ten years and the rooms are kept immaculate. The full... More

friendly staff and operators, good clean and comfortable - great nights sleep at a reasonable cost. Family room has the kids sleeping ina separate room with a queen bed in the lounge which is a much better configuration than the other way around. If you are looking for clean and tidy family accom (albeit a bit tired) This is well... More

Although the location is not the greatest (not downtown)- the managers personally chauffeured us to the downtown area! The room was clean and new and nice.

Immaculately clean, great size, good facilities and good price ($95). Some amount of discolouration on the bath seal but I'm being nitpicky. Honestly I would really recommend this place to everyone I know and wish I could have taken the room with us on our travels!

Very resonable priced, extremley helpful staff, nothing too much for them. Ideal place to stay just out of the hustle and bustle of Rotorua, and walking distance away from resturants. Our room was clean and fully furnished with everything that was required. Well worth a visit.

We found New Castle Motor Lodge to be extremely reasonably priced ($120.00 for a 1 bedroom unit)and the rooms were very spacious. We were greeted in reception by a lovely lady and were shown to our room which was a lovely service. The spa bath was large, and our toddlers thought it was great in a big bath. The bed... More

Stayed here for one night whilst in Rotorua with friends. Room was quiet, spacious and had everything that we needed. Bathroom unfortunately, could do with a little updating (ceiling needed the mould cleaned on it) but otherwise would stay again and no complaints. Staff were very pleasant and accomodating and phoned us quickly after we had left, to advise us... More
