Check mineral pools before you step, ours was about 50 degrees, i know should have mentioned to staff. Swam in pool, was lovely and warm. TV was at wrong angle to watch so had to move couch around etc. Staff were friendly and close to night market, park and walking distance to lake front. ##### Tony Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevan Mar 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great room and friendly staff .

Pleasant staff, quiet place despite being near the CBC. Beds were comfortable and room was warm. ##### Mareta Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brett Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall I enjoyed my stay. A nice warm room with everything I needed. Very conveniently located to local shops and restaurants etc. Just a little noise created by Saturday evening traffic on the busy road fronting the motel ##### Brett Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a lovely clean quiet property.

While a bit dated looking the warm pool and mineral baths were a wonderful way to start and end the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great for walking to the public central thermal pools and the lake not too far a walk away too. The beds were comfortable and the facilities in the apartment good. We would definitely stay again. ##### Alice Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Janine Apr 24, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was not the room I had chosen on the website, very disappointed. Photos on sites should be true to what you are expecting and paying for! The area of motel was great as it was central to lots of things. ##### Janine Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Corey May 24, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Place is in desperate need of an upgrade, broken windows , toilet hanging of the wall , very dated but bed was clean and sleepable ##### Corey Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 12, 2025 Disliked: Room comfort #### Not too bad not too good Kowhai Hotel was not too bad in terms of cleanliness. Its just the toilet has mosquitos when we arrived. We stayed in 1 bedroom apartment and because it was summer it was very hot, the aircon cannot make our room cold there was an electric fan but its still not enough as we have 4 months old baby. Also, the water get very hot and tap was too strong. Wall sockets were limited. The couch was too saggy so hard to get up. However the management are very accomodating when I asked if we can do a late check out, additional cost though. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tanea Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities we have stayed here before and loved it ##### Tanea Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### diane Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was comfortable enough.
