The Braeside is an excellent family motel with mini golf, pool, spa pool, trampoline and small playground. Rooms are comfortable, not noisey, even though close to the main road and great loaction. Easy for going to see the kiwis at night. This isn't a 5 star luxury place, its comfortable family accommodation, with good service, good value for money. More

We only stayed here for one night, as we were travelling from Auckland, but we were very pleased with our stay, especially compared to our previous stay in Auckland.

We had no complaints staying here; it's basically individual motel rooms, which was fine as they were clean and sufficient. However, we loved the location. We would stay here again for sure. One thing to remember is to order breakfast the night before! More

Stayed here based on other people's reviews. Was a great decision. As most of the big attractions are this end of town we were in the right end of town. We also found out that our daughter did not like the smell of Rotorua so staying here was good and there was no sulphur smell that Rotorua is known for.... More
