Amazing amazing stay we had with Sport of Kings. stayed 3 nights here - very spacious room, comfortable, kitchen facilities were good, private hot tub in the room was pleasant - it was behind the bedroom in an “outside area” making it just cool enough but also sheltered hence privacy not an issue and also not too cold even in the autumn months with temperatures around 10degrees. Hot tub area was also kept very clean. The staff and owner of the property were also very helpful in providing recommendations for attractions, and in assisting us in our needs! For example, we had driven through some mud and gravel roads and wanted to wash our car - they promptly set up the hose for us. Will definitely stay again!

Everything was perfect. The hotel's attention to detail is the best I have ever seen, with good recommendations, good hygiene products and really friendly, positive, optimistic staff. The outside pool at 36 degrees was a hit.

There is not a lot more to say. We stayed in the new apartments which were far from the main road and brand new. The room was very spacious and clean with a view of the garden with the alpacas. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again on our next trip to Rotorua.

    The 4 apartments that we booked at Brylin Motel during winter school holiday are exceptional. I have not seen a very clean and home-like accommodation in Rotorua, none like Brylin Motel. The rooms and toilets are very spacious too. Amber is friendly and amazing. She has been very helpful and accommodating to my groups' needs. She has been very kind and understanding with the hectic activities and noises of having a big group like us. Thank you Brylin Motel!!! 100% highly recommended.

    The motel is located directly opposite a supermarket and mall and not too far from the town centre and some of the sights. Best of all, for $10 the person at reception washed and dried our clothes and left them in our room. Brilliant service. Room was great, what we needed and we cooked on our 1st night and prepared lunch for the following day. There is certainly plenty to do in the Rotorua area and BK’s motor lodge was ideal as a base.

    I simply needed a room for one night during my trip by car in New Zealand. The location was very good, very central, there was free parking on the premises. The room was what one would expect from a motel and very good value for the money.
