My stay at the Birchwood Motel was truly delightful, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, charming, and affordable place to stay. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming staff, who went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. They were incredibly helpful with recommendations for local restaurants and attractions, adding a personal touch that you don’t often find.The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and had a cozy, rustic feel that matched the natural surroundings perfectly. The beds were very comfortable, with soft linens that made it easy to get a good night's rest. I especially appreciated the little touches, like the complimentary coffee and tea, which added to the overall homey vibe of the place.One of the best things about the Birchwood Motel is its location. Nestled near beautiful nature spots, it’s an ideal choice for travelers who enjoy outdoor activities, and there are some great hiking trails nearby. Despite being close to nature, it’s also conveniently located near town, so I had easy access to shops and restaurants without sacrificing the peaceful, scenic atmosphere.Overall, my experience at the Birchwood Motel was outstanding. If you’re looking for a quaint, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay, this motel is an excellent choice. It offers great value, exceptional service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

A lovely stay, enjoyed the hot tub, definitely the highlight. Appreciated the functioning kitchen with a good range of utensils. Knives could have been sharper for cutting meat.

Interesting layout with the toilet and shower on the first floor. Not really suitable for those of us with mobility issues, but made it work. Tap water in kitchen, and shower water were not very hot, not hot enough to wash dishes cleanly, needed to boil jug, and lukewarm in showers. However, hot tub water was extremely hot 🔥

Staff were helpful and friendly. Easy to find. This motel is older, you can see signs that the owners are slowly improving the rooms. Ours had a new fridge, new bed, new tvs. Stations channels were good, we used Netflix. Wifi was probably the best we have had in a motel. It is extremely clean!! We had baby wipes and used on lots of surfaces, not a speck of dust!! If you can get past the older decor, like we did, we had a fantastic time. Spa was easy to fill and lovely to use, outdated too, but still private area to use, which we loved.

The beds are clean with good pillows, there was a double single and a fold out couch. All ground floor rooms which is good for disabled

The fridge was dirty but they came and cleaned it when told, the room does shake at night with the trucks but I slept ok with it. Had to ask for milk. No air con and and only a little portable fan, so good for me at this time of year ( not to hot yet)

I liked how I could have a spa bath at any time and it was very private so I could enjoy it like a proper bath. Very beautiful scenery and great location, near the city centre but far enough away that the traffic doesn't bother me.

Someone did put a spa on after 10.30pm and I think it should be managed better if someone doesn't follow the guide lines of not putting it on after 10pm. Other than that I had an amazing stay. Definitely still going to recommend this motel to everyone who is planning to stay in rotorua

The spa bath outside private. Nice and relaxing when the stars are out. The room was spacious and clean, a heat pump would work more efficiently instead of a wall heater. But overall a great stay

The noise from the traffic. The ants that found the spa bath to be there home.

The rooms were spacious and clean, and the beds comfortable. Friendly staff. Reasonable price. It's close to Te Puia and the redwood treewalks.

Toilet was upstairs which was a bit inconvenient. The motel is on a busy highway and the building trembled a bit whenever a heavy truck rolled by. It was like a hundred mini-earthquakes during the night.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is comfortable and clean. Especially it includes a private spa, which is just outside at the back of the room. The motel is very close to the centre of the town. Highly recommended.
