Parakai Geothermal Motel

Nice to have our own private thermal pool at our room. Would have liked there to have been onsite front desk or reception as I needed to communicate via phone on several occasions during our stay.

We had a wedding to go to in the local area - location perfect, staff excellent and we’re able to help with an earlier check in due to wedding timing. It is an older property but was perfect for our stay.

Tidy, easy to use, good communications, loved the in-room hot tub, and short walk across the road to the larger public thermal pools. Safe environment with electric gate. We had a great time.

Very rundown, not too clean. Some of us got locked out due to a malfunctioning door and couldn't get in until the managers arrived and dismantled it. We spent the night with paper stuffed in the hole in the door.

Our own private mineral geothermal spa. This place was one of the highlights of our trip. Though the building is older and needs updating it was clean and comfortable inside the private spa on the patio was a bonus, it was clean and in good condition, during our stay we had several soaks in it.

The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the private pool in each unit. The privacy provided allowed for complete relaxation and rejuvenation, making it feel like a personal oasis. The mineral-rich water in the pools was incredibly soothing, and I felt the benefits on my skin and overall well-being almost immediately. I can’t wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind in a private, serene setting.

Overall, this is a great place to stay for relaxation in the hot tub. The check-in process is great when you can just drive straight to your room. The only issue we had was that the previous guest didn't report the broken TV, so we went without it for the night. But we were only there for the mineral hot tub, so we didn't miss the TV.

The private thermal spa was fabulous!

Just need a bit of CRC on the door. Try to open and close it and sometimes it wont open until you wiggle it backwards and forwards a bit, then it opens.

Great unit, really good facilities, and the hot pool was private and a good size. Friendly and helpful manager, only small issue we couldn't get the TV to work... only a static picture... otherwise thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I was very disappointed with this property. Booked it for my family of 4 paid for 4 on arrival we were in a single unit with a mattress on the floor as our fourth bed. The spa in the room advertised was nothing more then a hot water trough. Cobwebs everywhere, lights didn’t work, shower was hot as all hell then freezing cold in seconds. Rubbish bin hadn’t been cleaned was covered on other peoples scange. Bed so uncomfortable. Pillows flat as anything and a mink blanket that had seen better days. Rude service when you do manage to get ahold of the person who runs it, told her our shower didn’t work she told me I could leave, when I asked for a refund as the room I booked wasn’t what I arrived too and was told that it was expedias fault for putting me in there not hers. Terrible manners. Quiet time is meant to be ten but the people next to us decided 11:30pm was the perfect time to start drinking and banging on walls, with no on site management nothing to be done about it. Wouldn’t stay here again if they paid me.

Certainly not flashy, however very clean and comfortable. Great value.

Windows dirty, very hard bed in the lounge

The accommodation was exactly what was advertised and about what you’d expect for the relatively inexpensive price. The room was tired but spacious and clean enough. Couldn’t locate an iron or board in the room. Don’t leave food out in the kitchen or the ants will be in it within about 10 minutes. Nice to have a mineral pool attached to the room. Close to a Four Square as well as a few takeaway options. Self check in worked for us. Communication was fine.

Motel staff were all very friendly, 10/10 for the motel cat Winston is super friendly!! It’s a nice place for a getaway however on the cleanliness side I had to give a low rating due to the poor quality of cleanliness, spiders and webs along with other crawlies all around the place, stains on the walls that looked very unpleasant. With a proper clean and upgrade I’m sure this place will be a seller!!!

Nice property but thats about it. Stayed 2 nights & it was the most uncomfortable sleep! My daughters & I got bitten up, all I could feel was itchy the whole time, glad we took our own blankets! But it was still a headache. The place was dusty as too, needs a massive air out man. I would not stay here again!

There was a cockroach inside the cupboard under the sink. We called the landline to ask for an insect spray but since there was no staff in the afternoon, they cannot provide one until the next day. So, we chose to buy an insect spray ourselves. There was no hair dryer. Some fixture need refurbishment like the bathroom vanity. Overall, it was a good stay. The staff in the morning where friendly.

Nice and clean. Great spa pool and easy walk to the shops

Not even a whole roll of toilet paper and no more in the unit. Found crackers, old jelly beans etc under beds and couches. Bathroom door locked with no one inside and we had to chuck our son in the window to unlock it. We've stayed at the hotel before in a different unit before and it was great but this unit was dirty and unsatisfactory

The property is very old and smelt like dog on the couch. The shower only went from scouching hot or cold. The WIFI was absolutely terrible and with kids wifi is a must. I felt ripped off as i paid half the amount at Nother place and it was absolutely great.

Maybe have smart tvs Next door neighbours were really loud And beds were to firm But other than that we enjoyed our stay & great time out Thank you so much

Noise from next door

The bed is way too old and saggy needs to be replaced in unit 3 We do how ever enjoy staying there for the geothermal pool and we're regulars there Thank you

Room 1a was absolut terrible, no shower as described, no air condition as described, no washbasin. I could not slep until 1 am, because it was so loud from other guest. Room was aprox. 2.7m wide

A very pleasant place to stay. The only slight drawback is the cramped bathroom toilet area. The shower is particularly poky. But we enjoyed the soak in the hot tub (although the water temperature did not quite get as warm as we expected, perhaps due to the amount of cold water in the bottom before the hot went in. Otherwise very nice.

No milk No personal contact with Staff Dirt between cushions on couch Extremely small bathroom

All the basics for an easy stay.

Booking service was unacceptable. No staff to help with eithet The room or entering there

Please tell Louise that her recomendation for the White Cross Clinic was perfect. I saw the nurse and Dr within 30 minutes and got the meds I needed and got cured overnight.

The staff were fantastic very helpful and pleasant. People staying must be aware cellphone coverage sporadic. Mineral pools very theraputic

Property never provided the access code. Don't lose your money.

I've stayed here a few times to relax and unwind from work and study commitments. Accommodating staff that go above and beyond my expectations every time. Thank you for making my stay a positive experience.

The room was great, staff were helpful and their intention to please was very obvious

The property met our requirements. Disappointed no one there to let us in as our UK mobile wouldn't connect. Thanks to another guest help we got through to get code to accommodation and gate.

This place was lovely and peaceful loved the hot tub beds were comfortable staff were super helpful and lovely! Would definitely book again in future

Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Nice and quiet with the hot pools over the road. Thank you Geothermal Parakai

Nice and close to shops and playground. Pool was way smaller than in the photo. No hand soap in bathroom. The drain blocked while we were there and we couldnt use the toilet. Had a lovely time, nice soak in hot pool. Very relaxing just a few disappointing things that let our trip down.

Quiet safe and very relaxing

Nice and clean. Great spa pool and easy walk to the shops
