This was one of 5 Bella Vista Motels that we stayed at during a recent trip through New Zealand. Like the others, this motel was convenient to shops, restaurants, and activities. Rooms were new, clean, and comfortable. The compact studios were indeed compact (but Wellington and Wanaka upgraded us to larger rooms). Staff was always friendly and helpful. Overall, a... More

Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable rooms. Excellent car parking spaces. About 10 minutes walk from the centre of town. I would recommend without hesitation. More

The staff were excellent, very informative and helpful. The rooms were very clean and contained a good deal of facilities. The location was ideal, not too far from the restaurants / shops). Car parking was great. More

A clean and comfortable place in a good postition on the edge of a park where one can see the hot geysers bubbling away! We have stayed at several motels in this particular chain and have found them all to be of a very good standard.I would recommend without hesitation. The host at the establishment was particularly informative and helpful... More

As mentioned by other reviewers, the hosts are extremely welcoming and very helpful. Yes, it was on a busy road with roadworks but the roadworks won't last for ever! The room and bed was very comfy and clean and the shower good too. Kevin was helpful in pointing out where to go and what to see. Guest laundry was good... More

They were so generous with their time, helping us with our travel plans, doing our washing and even offering to collect us from the... More

My wife and I stayed at the Bella Vista Motel in Rotorua on February 5/6, 2012. We were extremely pleased with the accommodation and the service from the hosts, Kevin and Sue. The room was very clean and comfortable and had all the amenities (toaster, small refrigerator, utensils, coffee, water heater) that we needed. The towel warmer was very handy... More

Sadly, this did not have the "Bella Vista" that we had hoped for, being on quite a busy road with roadworks. However, Sue, the owner, was extremely helpful both with carrying our luggage up the stairs and giving us plenty of useful information about Rotorua, places to visit and places to eat so that compensated for the less than picturesque...

We used trip advisor to help choose twelve hotels for our recent trip to New Zealand. While we thought the reviews were generally fairly accurate, we definitely have to disagree with this choice. The manager went out of her way to be helpful, but the room we were given was far below indications from the reviewers. For some reason we... More
