Amazing amazing stay we had with Sport of Kings. stayed 3 nights here - very spacious room, comfortable, kitchen facilities were good, private hot tub in the room was pleasant - it was behind the bedroom in an “outside area” making it just cool enough but also sheltered hence privacy not an issue and also not too cold even in the autumn months with temperatures around 10degrees. Hot tub area was also kept very clean. The staff and owner of the property were also very helpful in providing recommendations for attractions, and in assisting us in our needs! For example, we had driven through some mud and gravel roads and wanted to wash our car - they promptly set up the hose for us. Will definitely stay again!

This place was absolutely lovely and we had a wonderful stay as a family of 3 with our 2,5 year old. The rooms are exactly as presented on the pictures, very clean and the bed was super comfortable. We loved the playground and the animals (how cute were these two alpakas?) at the property. The staff was extemerly nice and accommodating and we really hope to be back to this place one day. Great to be having this place when you have a car since its just a few minutes away from the centre of a town, big stores and the skyline is just around the corner.

    The 4 apartments that we booked at Brylin Motel during winter school holiday are exceptional. I have not seen a very clean and home-like accommodation in Rotorua, none like Brylin Motel. The rooms and toilets are very spacious too. Amber is friendly and amazing. She has been very helpful and accommodating to my groups' needs. She has been very kind and understanding with the hectic activities and noises of having a big group like us. Thank you Brylin Motel!!! 100% highly recommended.

    The motel is located directly opposite a supermarket and mall and not too far from the town centre and some of the sights. Best of all, for $10 the person at reception washed and dried our clothes and left them in our room. Brilliant service. Room was great, what we needed and we cooked on our 1st night and prepared lunch for the following day. There is certainly plenty to do in the Rotorua area and BK’s motor lodge was ideal as a base.

    I simply needed a room for one night during my trip by car in New Zealand. The location was very good, very central, there was free parking on the premises. The room was what one would expect from a motel and very good value for the money.
