What guests think

Across recent reviews, Devonwood Motel comes across as an older, budget-friendly option with friendly staff, generally clean and spacious rooms, and a handy location, delivering solid basics for short stays without many frills or luxury touches.

Facilities like the heated pool, private spas, and on-site parking are appreciated, though a few noted the pool can run too hot and some outdoor areas need upkeep. Multiple guests highlight the lack of air conditioning and heat buildup, occasional uncomfortable beds and limited lounge seating, and some tired decor or maintenance issues. Location is convenient for town and shops with easy access, but a few say it is a longer walk from the center. Overall, expect a simple, good-value stopover with practical amenities.

We loved that the accommodation was not far from town. It was quiet. Easy allocated parking. Loved that we had ur private out the room spa. The issues we had was with our bed being way too hard. We stayed for 3 nights and both hubby and i had sore back and shoulders the entire time. The toiler was very hard to flush and most importantly our 3 yr old was very upset with the outdoor heated pool being overly hot close to 38°c. We booked the accommodation specifically for the ourdoor pool but it was way too hot even for the adults.

Comfy bed and pillow, tidy bathroom, nice to have an outdoor spa atatched to the room and the swimming pool was good for the weather temperature. The only thing we did not like was the heat. The room got extremely hot from the sun especially during the sunset. Night was horribly hot as well with only one fan in the entire unit. 2 fans would be great. One for the room and one in the dining/ lounge area.

Wir hatten eine Studiosuite, 1 Schlafzimmer mit eigenem Whirlpool im Außenbereich (nicht einsehbar für andere). Das Zimmer war großzügig, sauber und ordentlich. Im Kochbereich war alles vorhanden und man konnte die Tür zum Schlafbereich schließen (kein Kühlschranklärm). Es gab einen kostenlosen Parkplatz und man musste nur eine kleine Treppe zum Zimmer hochgehen. Im Bad waren ausreichend Abestellfläche und Haken vorhanden (nicht immer selbstverständlich). Der Whirlpool war ein zusätzliches Plus. Wir schätzen zudem den kostenlosen Parkplatz und den (verschließbaren) Küchenbereich. Die Mitarbeitenden waren auch sehr freundlich. Man konnte ruhig schlafen und die Ausgangslage für Besichtigungen in Rotorua war sehr gut. Den Außenbereich haben wir nicht genutzt.

The bed was very comfortable. Seating poor- only 3 metal chairs & no comfortable seating at all!!! I am thin & had to use a pillow sit on & rest my back or sit on the bed!! The shower was good. The car park space allocated to the unit was outside a different unit! I would not choose to stay there again.

I was asked to show a photo ID during check in. Whilst a bit unusual, I was happy to do that. However, I was shock when the staff took a photocopy of my passport. I yelled, she replied it was the company policy. Finally she gave me the photocopy without keeping it. Was this act legitimate?
