Ian and Jyl Morrison are deligtful, helpful people - nothing is too much trouble for them. We found them extremely helpful and knowledgeable - always willing to go to the extra trouble to help. The best people in NZ as far as we are concerned. Motel/apartment owners should take a leaf from the excellent hosting. My husband appreciated the spa...

An exception to motel after motel lining both sides of busy Fenton Street, the highway to the south, this property is on a quiet residential side street.
Warmly welcomed by the caretaker management couple, we were assigned a spa room with parking in front of the room. The room turned out to be a one bedroom apartment with a sitting...

Yes it is our aim to be an exceptional motel, thanks. Loved the detail you went to, covering the entire unit. We are sorry that the wall mounted soap & shampoo dispensers were a worry for you.

I've been staying here for around 20 years and have seen owners/managers come and go, some very good, some good and some not so good. Ian and Jyl are 200% ahead of even the best of them. They've made a great job of upgrading the property and say they have many more plans in the pipeline. It's extremely clean, comfortable...

Thank you for your very gracious & kind review. We are sure we cant possibly be that good--- 200% rather hard to maintain. It is wonderful that you enjoyed all our upgrading & refurbishments.

We have nothing but praise for the service, advice and assistance given to us on our stay. Both Ian and Jyl were very knowledgable about the local attractions and dining venues which made our stay alot easier with limited time to see as much as possible. The accomodation and facilities were spot on and the kids had a ball at...

We went to Rotorua for one night and stayed at the Sport of Kings Motel. The rooms were clean, spacious and conveniently close to town. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Would go again!

Can't say enough about this place.
Heated pool is a favourite with the children, centrally located, clean and hosts who went about and beyond. Very grateful. Have stayed here twice and would certainly do so ago without hesitation.

This is an older style motel and although not as modern as some motels it is nicely furnished. I booked a unit with a spa bath. The main room contained two recliner chairs, flat screen TV, single bed, black glass table with four chairs and kitchenette with double drainer and a proper oven with hob. The single bed took up...

Well run motel with friendly and helpful owners. We were in a one bedroom triple spa unit over the long Easter weekend. The lounge has a single bed, two comfy reclining chairs and a small dining table with 4 chairs. The room is not very large, but acceptable for my family of three. There was a medium size tv and...
