We spent one night here as we were travelling through different cities each day. This was a very friendly little motel. The lady who ran it was extremely helpful. She even stayed up late to let us get our laundry done! Our room was spacious and clean and had a kitchen included. All the rooms have little indoor hot tubs with natural hot spring water due to the geothermal activity in the area. The motel is in an excellent location close to the town centre and with everything you need nearby. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Rotorua!
Nice Option and very good Value
I have stood in Midway Motel with my wife and baby daughter during our trip around New Zealand. The place is well located, close to Rotorua center, restaurants and supermarkets. The room has a good size, with TV, free internet and kitchen furniture – we like a lot the spa within the bathroom pumped with the natural hot water that runs below the city! The owners were very nice and helpful for all our requests – would recommend to anyone going to Rotorua.

Our reservation started very positively when I was personally shown around the room by the owner.
Our Double Room was spacious and offered a kitchenette and sitting area. My partner and I enjoyed the hot plunge pool which offered a welcome chance to relax after exploring the other natural wonders in the area.
The motel is centrally located near various eateries (though it’s best to drive to a restaurant district) and supermarkets (within walking distance).
The free wireless internet worked great (best when near the door) which made for a great change from the previous night’s accommodation.
I would not hesitate to recommend this motel to anyone.
