Stayed here for one night 2 June. Very clean & well maintained unit. Wonderful grounds with birdsong everywhere. Lots of space. Great shower pressure & plenty of hot water. Comfy bed. Added bonus was the unlimited wifi & morning paper, things you don't get elsewhere. Very reasonable tariff. We'll be back.

Unprofessional Owner/Manager, Very Bad Rooms, Over priced, Not Kid Friendly, and VERY BAD BEHAVIOUR.

Reviewed By Kayan_wanderer

DO NOT STAY HERE!! Disgusting old rooms, cutlery looks really old, beds are so soft that I got a very bad backpain in the morning. It seemsthat the rooms are filled with stuff collected from kerbside spring cleanout. Most importantly, the owner is one unetchical and unprofessional business person I have come across. We left behind a toy of our daughter and a phone charger, when contacted initially he asked me to send a pre-paid courier envelope, but when followed up he put me to ranson to first delete a negative review that I didn't even write at the first place. He was so rude that he didn't even listen to me and hanged up. So, a man who has the audacity to throw a child's toy, over charge customers for disgusting rooms, and hang up on his guests doesn't deserve any business whatsoever. This pandemic should be an eye opener for such shady businesses. #donotstayhere

Rainbow Motel Turangi

Great stay for a cheap price

Reviewed By Rodayan

For a 3 star motel, this is actually pretty amazing. Pros: private geothermal pools open any time! This was what decided us to come here, and were not disappointed. Online booking was easy and had a big discount, booked while family driving towards town. Different sizes of apartment, we had a 2brm that would sleep 5. Small but furnished kitchenette, pretty standard. Geothermal heaters in the rooms, plus an extra oil heater in case you needed more. Sparse but clean. Close to ski areas etc but not on the main road, so not as busy. Service was good, friendly and helpful manager. Cons: iphone map app can show the wrong address if you input the address without the motel name Takeaways delivery didn’t happen despite being told they would deliver… but that was a fault with the takeaway company. The furniture is very simple, chairs not hugely comfortable. DVD player appeared to be broken, no instructions on use of TV or DVD units. Milk was only a small amount in a little glass bottle with no lid, so was in danger of spilling in the fridge.

During a very difficult trip, this place was truly a peaceful haven, better than anything we could have hoped for. Clean, warm, quiet, and so welcoming. The full kitchen, laundry, bbq area and deep private spa pool were godsends, and we were very fond of Donna's caring and conscious focus as a caretaker for the wellbeing of humans, wildlife, and the environment of this unique place by the crater's heart. The additional night we needed due to a breakdown was no problem - nothing was too much trouble. We'll be back.
