This is the second time we have stayed at Accolade and we cannot fault it. our group were over the moon with the service and the meals . not enough words to describe, go and find out for yourself/selves we can guarantee you will enjoy everything there, shopping dining and sights all within walking distance , good for us golf widows while men playing.we shopped til we dropped, went to markets , had a ball and went back and had lovely spa and granny nap.we have been going to Rotorua for over 20 years and have never had a good place to stay until we came across Accolade and this is where we will be staying from now on.As the organiser I had no problems with communication and everything I asked for was done exactly as I asked, this made it really great for me , it meant I could enjoy my stay just like the rest of the group , nothing to worry about.

I stayed at the Accolade on 2 occasions in April. The first visit was with 3 friends where we had 2 bedrooms and a lounge room and the second visit was with one friend.
where we had a studio room.
On both occasions we found the rooms spotlessly clean. The shower was excellent with plenty of hot water and very good pressure.
Tea, coffee, sugar and milk were provided in the small galley kitchen. We had one of Denise and Roberts fabulous cooked breakfasts each morning in the dining room and on the second visit my friend and I requested an evening meal which was wonderful. Roast chicken with stuffing, roast potatoes, kumera, pumpkin, peas and carrots. Dessert was the most delicious apple crumble and ice cream.

Denise and Robert made us very welcome and couldn't do enough to make sure our stay was happy and I can certainly recommend this lovely motel which is within easy walking distance to the main shopping area and busses to local attractions of Rotorua .

Stayed a week in adjoining rooms which worked out well for family of 5 plenty of space. While units were clean the bathrooms could do with updating - the showers were nothing more than a dribble and the heating was ridiculous - the oil column heaters did nothing. Early nights to electric blankets were the only way to keep warm and one bed didnt have an electric blanket. The internet was expensive and limited. Walking distance to shops was good.

My partner and I decided to head off to Rotorua from Auckland for the weekend on an impulse and what a great decision that turned out to be. We were lucky enough to choose to stay at the Accolade Lodge Motel and what a find it was. From the moment we arrived at the property we felt at home. Rob and Denise would have to be the best Kiwi Hosts we have ever had the pleasure to meet. We were greeted like old friends. Our unit was just as welcoming, cosy, beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and very well appointed and the bed was extra comfy, wanted to take it home. But things just got better. The next morning we had a fantastic breakfast cooked by Rob and Denise in their breakfast room, what a treat that was, after which they shared their extensive tourist knowledge to help us plan our day. Even though my partner and I have been to Rotorua before we learnt about all the new attractions and special places we didn't even know existed, invaluable when you only have a short time to cram as much in as possible.

Another great thing about Accolade Lodge Motel is it's proximity to town. We were able to walk a short distance into town for dinner at night which meant we didn't have to worry about taking the car and could therefore enjoy a drink or two with our meal.

Next time we got to Rotorua (hopefully that will be soon) we will be staying here again, we have no doubt about that.
