Our first visit here found a well presented, tastefully decorated, meticulously maintained and charming establishment hosted by two of the most wonderful and accomodating people you'll ever meet. Some of the highlights included the fabulous Spa pool suite which was heavenly to unwind in after the day out, the cooked breakfast by Ian who boasts some fine cullinary skills and...

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...

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.

The accomodation and facilities were spot on and the kids had a ball at...

This is how motels should be - the owners are passionate about their motel and it shows....nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are comfortable, well appointed and very clean. The pool is a joy.
Well--- UNDERCOVER GUEST---You've slipped in & out undetected. However we are rather chuffed with your delight. Yes we are passionate about providing the best possible experience for our guests. Having travelled quite a lot ourselves we know, what not to do. Thanks for your kind words.

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!
It is rewarding for us when our guests express their delight & appreciation as you have. We look forward to your return. Thanks for your comments & review.

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.
Thank you for taking tre time to post your review. We are humbled by your gracious words. It's not just the children that love the pools. We look forward to your next visit.

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...
