Best Western Braeside Rotorua

Nice place to stay, nothing particularly special though. Not too close to the city so you'd have to drive. Far enough from the thermal areas to not have the sulfur smell. Fully stocked kitchen with dishes and such. less

Pulled in for two nights. Easy location but need to drive to Rotorua city area, but not difficult. Really easy location for traveling to sights around. The main desk staff was AWESOME in selecting tourist activities. With eh downpour of rain, they helped pick a successful day for us. We ate at the restaurant and enjoyed a long conversation with the owners. That's the part we love the most is connecting with locals. The food was like a 5-star restaurant! Mary Ann is a chef indeed---her dishes were amazing! We did not utilize the pool,hot tub to golf bc it was raining all day. less

I had the pleasure of staying here for two nights (Friday/Saturday) with a small family group. We had a two bedroom unit that was compact but spacious enough and had all the facilities we needed. Thermal curtains to keep the warmth in. A heat pump to keep the unit warm. Kitchen facilities to cook meals and store food. A generous sized shower and bathroom. Most of all, reasonably priced. Super close to tourist attractions. So close that you can walk to the Skyline Luge and Rainbow Springs. The great thing is that the motel is set just far enough away from the noise of traffic on the main highway. The motel has some lovely entertainment for the family including a basic mini golf green, trampoline and playground. It had a wonderful hot tub (Indoor), outdoor spa and heated pool. Even a beautiful stream the flows at the rear of the property. A great place to just relax and hang out or be a base to be out and about at local attractions. Definitely would come back again. less

We got this place for our overnight stay and it was a OK place. Nothing much to write home about. There was kitchen and bathroom but they have tried packing in all that in a small place. Staff were very friendly. We had a flat tyre and the lady allowed us to stay beyond checkout time till the truck came and repaired the tyre. Bathroom was small and I had never come across such a small wash basin. It was cute to look at but too small for good usage. less

Quiet private comfortable great little spa in its private semi outdoor covered setting off lounge. Even a TV in the bedroom as well as lounge area. Friendly staff great location. Recommended for business or pleasure :) less
