Palm Court Motel

I stayed in a one bedroom room for two nights. The room was large, clean and the bed comfortable. I did not find there to be any problem with road noise as some reviews mentioned. The kitchen was well equipped with a stove top and supplies however one of the other rooms set off the main fire alarm while cooking and who I think were the owners had to come to shut it off. I did not smell anything burning and just surmised that their alarms are super sensitive. Because of this, I was reluctant to use their stove so I just made some simple meals during my stay without the use of the stove top. I had an issue with their shower. The tub had two faucets, one ran hot water and the other cold. I could not figure out how to get the shower running though. There was some handle by the shower head that would not budge when I tried to activate it. It was quite late and I did not want to bother the owners so I just drew a bath instead. None of the other 10 hotels I stayed at in New Zealand had a shower/tub set up like this, so thankfully it does not appear to be the norm.

I would like to say this is the cleanest motel I have ever been to. The owner is very helpful and kind. The rooms are clean and well stocked. Even when I left something in the room, the owner called to let me know and decide if we wished to return for the item. This is a great spot to stay if visiting the caves.

We often stay at the palm court when we have family gatherings in Otorohanga. Every time I notice the cleanliness, the nice little touches and the comfortable rooms. We always have great service too, all for a very reasonable price. Easy walking distance to the Main Street and a lot of the town.

This was our third visit and again we had an accessible unit. As always it was clean and most comfortable. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Our only problem was that as we went out for a meal in the evening the parking space closest to our unit was filled with a large Ute, which was too big for the space. It would be helpful to have that space signed as a designated disabled park. However, we look forward to being with you again.

Posto carino e pulito, in buona posizione per la visita alle glow worm caves. Noi venivamo da Hobbiton, quindi strategicamente sulla strada. Dotato di bollitore, caffè liofilizzato e latte. Ottimo per una notte. Wi-fi gratuito e qualora se ne volesse usufruire, tavolino e due sedie sul retro.
