The location was great as it was right across the Skyline Luge and within walking distance. The staff was attentive and ensured that we had a great stay. The serene stream in the back was also very nice. Will definitely come back. Thanks again!

Room was very clean and roomy I could do laundry The beautiful young woman in the reception was the most helpful and accommodating person we encountered in 16 days of traveling in New Zealand. I asked her to give me her name and of course I cannot find the sticky note. I think it was Astrid. Sorry if I got it wrong. She was way beyond helpful. Thank you miss A

    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.
