We spent a night at the Birchwood Spa Motel after a dusty and hectic three days competing at a sporting event in Rotorua. This place was a haven for us, and the spa bath was a very welcome sight! The units are an excellent size, and the spa bath outside in the little courtyard was wonderful. I would recommend getting... More

I just left the Chateau at Ruapehu & the Bichwood Spa room was much more welcoming with fresh milk & tea! The Hosts Kevin & Connie were very sweet & lovely to chat to. The room was very clean, warm and roomy. I didnt hear one truck but I sleep with air plugs. I would say anywhere in Rotorua where... More

Birchwood Spa Motel is a little dated and, like the many other hotels on this road, it's on a busy route and it wobbles a bit when a logging truck goes by.

The motel was clean and private spa a very nice amenity. Internet access was good and free of charge. A... More

The motel was on the edge of town by a highway. It was clean, the reception was welcoming, facilities adequate and efforts made to improve the ambience with some flowers and a seated area outside the room. A barbecue was provided for sharing by all guests . On the downside, the road noise with logging trucks being heard into the... More

We chose to stay here for two reasons. the first was the need for space - travelling with our teenage daughter and my sister and husband. the accomodation gave us that - with a kitchen and lounge and TV. all was warm and clean. But the second reason - was the spa and we found the use of this very... More
