The staff is excellent. He told me a few local attractions that are really nice. I mistakenly double booked for the last day, and the manager help canceled it even though it’s supposed non refundable. I wish Expedia have picked up such a simple error when I made the booking.

Room was spacious with super comfortable beds. Small kitchenette available with microwave and kettle. We loved the old school 90s feel which still looks in its prime. The room had everything you could need for a few days stay. Didn’t get to use the courtyard but it was tidy. Parking easy and Jeff was very helpful with local activity recommendations. A little bit of road noise but nothing significant. We were given the accessible room and it was very well set up for that purpose. Thanks Jeff and Jenny

フロントのおじいちゃんとてもフレンドリーで感じがいいです。大きな通りの近くなので車の音が聞こえますが夜中は気になりませんでした。そもそも防音に意識が低い国ですw 部屋も掃除してあり広いです。2階だったのでトランクを持って上がらなければなりませんでしたが、我々には問題ありませんでした。ライトが一つ切れてましたが沢山の照明があるので問題なく過ごせました。

The first thing that became obvious was that the gentleman manning the desk Geoff, was a very friendly outgoing and helpful guy. As we took care of the paperwork associated with getting the key for the room, he asked how long we were in town for and if we had seen anything. Telling him that we are only in for the one day that we had gone to see the glow worm cave earlier that day he immediately suggested going to locations that were within a 45-minute drive with the community. Not only did he recommend we go to see the Marokopa Falls and the Natural Bridge, he pulled up pictures and directions on Google Maps so I could see them. He also recommended a number of local restaurants to grab a meal at. He emphasized thst both of the places were free and a quick easy walk into ftom tge parking lot. My 14 year old son went. We easily found both and they were stunning. The room was as advertised with a queen size bed, twin bed, a well appointed kitchenette with chocolate complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate, and shower. It was impeccably clean and everything worked. The bed was very comfortable.

Huge light filled room convenient to restaurants and supermarket. Room was a bit noisy at night because next to highway, but we just turned on a fan in the room which was enough white noise to drown out the trucks.

A clean, safe, perfectly well situated place; Woolworth across the street; breakfast/dinner places in walking distance and the Kiwi-house doable by foot or a couple of minutes by car

Palm Court Motel in Otorohanga is a hidden gem, offering exceptional hospitality and spotless accommodations. The operator’s warmth and attention to detail made our stay truly special. Rooms were immaculately clean, well-appointed, and perfect for our family of four. Its prime location—just minutes from the Kiwi House and glow worm caves—made exploring effortless. Convenience, comfort, and genuine care define this motel, making it an outstanding choice for families or travellers seeking a welcoming retreat. Highly recommended!
