I give 1 star because the bed was comfy but thats it. ##### Dwayne Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sherrina Sep 20, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities The person on duty was so accomodating n friendly. He was amazing. The place was missing lots of things, maybe too higher expectations for what we paid like TV didn’t work, only coffee, no spare blankets on cold night, limited power points. Place was clean and he allowed us to swap rooms. Spoke to people who have stayed there before and doesn’t sound like anything has changed! Sad! Won’t stay there again! ##### Sherrina Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### John Sep 28, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Not enough cutlery or crockery tv very poor and cutout all the time shower base broken no bathmat ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Aleasha Oct 5, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities As soon as I walked in the reception had ripped seating. Got to the room and there was stains on the bed, no soap, tv didn’t work, no smoke alarm, no hot water, the spa pool was extremely dirty. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone and will be asking for my money back. Didn’t get through 3 hours in this place! Felt so unsafe the entire time ended up forking out over $650 for safer accomodation. Will not be back! ##### Aleasha Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I really liked the healthy retreat we have every time we visit the spa is awesome just same as debrets but in your room...

We have stayed here a number of times pre covid. Accepting this is a budget motel, I was happy with the motel. TV set up was not great along with the internet and we couldn't get the microwave to work. The hot pool that fills in lightning speed off set the rest of it. Iwas very satisfied for the value for money. I think some of the other reviesw were a bit harsh for what you pay. ##### Gregg Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kelly Jun 21, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Very dated. Heater didn't work so room was cold. Internet was not great which meant the smart tv kept buffering. We eventually switched tv off. Could hear everything from people upstairs. Uncomfortable beds. Wouldn't stay for longer than a night. ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lyndell May 17, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities this property needs to be shut down and totally renovated. It was disgusting and not a bit like the photos suggested. It was unsafe with light fittings dangling off walls heater not working holes in base of shower curtains in disrepair. The only reason we stayed was because it was late in the afternoon and we were too tired to look for an alternative it should not be on Expedia's listings, horrible place ##### Lyndell Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harjeet Singh Dec 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Totally worth it. ##### Harjeet Singh Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brendon Jul 6, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property dirty, unsafe with power cords all over the place, hole in floor that we would trip over. Slugs in bathroom. Holes in walls. Untidy surrounds, garbage outside windows. Poor to no. Internet access. Tvs didn't work due to internet. No sky TV as advertised on the billboard out the front. We paid for a spa unit and no spa yet advertised on Expedia and on billboard as having a spa. Unhelpful staff. No mention of a refund or partial when I approached them with the issues. Worse motel I have ever stayed in. DON'T STAY HERE ##### Brendon Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Janette Jan 12, 2025 This place is not like the picture show in very need of repaint, curtains with rips and not even hung up holes and walls! ##### Janette Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sherliana Jun 22, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities I have to say that I’m not enjoyed my time at Karaka Tree Motel. 1. I’m expecting there’s will be spa pool in each room. Apparently it’s not. This false advertisement is very disappointing and upsetting. 2. The room is cold. Only one works heater was provided. 3. There’s exposed electrical connector hanging on the tv. It’s not even secured make it even dangerous hazards. Especially when I’m travelling with my kids. 4. There’s a connecting room that not even been locked. It’s makes me feels unsafe. Overall, I do not enjoyed my stay and will suggest others to think twice before staying in this motel. I do have some pictures to show the hazard ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/66a4d247-7c54-43f2-a905-795b524e3012-1750603103800.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aea6c0b8-d824-45c7-92aa-317df8c64fbd-1750603103865.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sherliana Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michelle Nov 17, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nothing positive about this hotel - except it’s cheap. Such a shame as it was good once. Just been let go…. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rhys Jun 24, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property isn’t as advertised. Arrived and they couldn’t find our booking straight away. It’s the middle of winter with heavy snow on the mountains and the only heating in the room was a small fan heater, would not meet housing standards for any form of accommodation. Property isn’t maintained, room is dark and cold. We had just arrived from Ohakune and to walk into the room we knew it wasn’t going to be warm enough for the temperatures it gets down to at night. Motel refused refund, lost out on money when we had to book elsewhere due to not wanting to get sick. Bathroom is the size of a closet. Overpriced for what you get. Would not recommend. Might have to approach Ministry of Business to get the refund under the Consumers Guarantee Act at this point. ##### Rhys Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rex Feb 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Smoke detector was removed, Mineral bath was dirty, leaking tap in bathroom, low water pressure in shower, cigarette butts in container outside window, no milk given, general condition of unit was out-dated and needed a lot of maintenance ##### Rex Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### A little cleaning would go along way!! I checked in and gave cash but they could not provide me with a receipt, ended up having to pay by card and only got an eftpos receipt!!. No milk was given for our room. There was no spa for us to use either and no apology given. The beds were super comfy though and the rooms were very spacious, the sheets were also clean. The cleaning left alot to be desired, beside the fridge looked like it had not been cleaned for years, same with beside the shower and on top of a plug was thick in dirt! Was not impressed either at getting a knock on the door at 9.27 asking when we were checking out as checkout was between 9 and 10!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Graeme Jan 9, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property needed a major tidy up with weeds and dead plants in pots etc. No SKY as advertised. Rooms very outdated and in need of repair. Cleaning left a lot to be desired. Also office still closed for checkout at 8.45am. ##### Graeme Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bella Jan 5, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very old and run down. Dusty and bathroom not clean. No milk provided even when advised they would drop it off. Tv wouldnt work. Jug had to have the switch held to boil. Extra pillows where gross(glad we had our own) Glad we were only one night. Will not be returning ##### Bella Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mike Apr 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities No Soap provided in the bathroom. No face cloth or hand towel. Room hadn't been cleaned of cobwebs around window catch's and windows were dirty. Used shampoo packets and cobwebs down the side of the bathroom vanity. Key provided to the room didn't work. Some lights didn't work. Adjoining room door didn't lock with the key provided and no way to lock it to keep my room isolated from someone else coming in if the other room got booked. Staff seemed indifferent to this issue. No milk offered or provided. No additional bedding if it got cold. TV lost Wifi frequently. Stayed 2 days, room not serviced after the first day - which I was expecting. Check in was a joke, after 2pm (official time to check in) spent 20 minutes pushing the buzzer and calling out, 4 other people and a serviceman also waiting for attention at this time. Very poor. A little bit of effort from them could have changed this easily. ##### Mike Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ramada by Wyndham Hamilton City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Hamilton-City-Center.h4478409.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178286-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Adriatic](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Adriatic.h1615698.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy NYC Lower East Side](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Moxy-NYC-Lower-East-Side.h82937730.Hotel-Information) > > [Condo Rentals Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Condos.d178314-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Canad Inns Destination Centre Fort Garry](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Centre-Fort-Garry.h52976.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas Strip](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Strip-Las-Vegas-Hotels.0-n800045-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d178314-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oshawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oshawa-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Oshawa.h6013591.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Quadra Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Quadra-Island-Hotels.d181785.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lough Eske Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Donegal-Hotels-Lough-Eske-Castle.h1868062.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Shenzhen (SZX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/szx/vancouver-to-shenzhen) > > [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to Sacramento (SMF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bli/smf/bellingham-to-sacramento) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Busan (PUS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/pus/vancouver-to-busan) > > [Air Canada Vancouver (YVR) to Shanghai (PVG) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-vancouver-intl-to-pudong-intl/ac/yvr/pvg) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Fort McMurray (YMM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/ymm/regina-to-fort-mcmurray) > > [Flights from St. Petersburg - Clearwater (PIE) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pie/yyz/st-petersburg-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Taoyuan City (TPE) to Shanghai (PVG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/tpe/pvg/taipei-to-shanghai) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/ywg/kitchener-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/cok/new-york-to-cochin) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to Saint-Louis (BSL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ams/bsl/amsterdam-to-basel) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Kelowna-Intl.d6033592.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Ancaster](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Ancaster.d9518.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Calgary.d178245.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Avis Car Rentals In Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Avis-Car-Rentals-In-Waikiki.d6048741-c41.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in St. Augustine](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-St-Augustine.d6047864.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Magic Kingdom® Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Magic-Kingdom-Park-Bay-Lake.d6123797.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Cusco Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cusco.d941.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Prince of Wales Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-Of-Wales-Park-Etobicoke.d553248635975846262.Vacation-Attraction)
