“Very Good”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 3 days ago NEW
Had a great 3 days staying here, both the owners were very friendly.Ron really goes out of his way to make you comfortable.Also full of knowledge of the local area and things to do and see.
Our unit was compact and had most things you would expect of motels nowadays.As Ron is connected to the thermal springs ,there is plenty of hot water and full central heating.Plus 2 thermal pools outside for soaking in.1 at 37C and the other at 42C. We made full use of them on all days, great. Yes there is some road noise after 6 ish morning usually eases off towards late evening.

“Charming great place to stay”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 2 weeks ago via mobile
my husband and I booked to stay here while on vacation in New Zealand in early April. During our vacation we stayed at a total of four different accommodations. The Malfroy was our favorite!
We wanted to stay somewhere that wasn't too busy and more quiet. At first I was worried that since it's right on a round about, we'd have to deal with a lot of noise from traffic, but we didn't. It's close to a grocery store, a gas station, and all the shops in the town. The room was nice and comfy and the best part was the mineral pool that was just outside of our room. However, the the highlight of staying here was Mairi and Ron! They were very very friendly and gave us many suggestions on what free attractions to see throughout the town! Before we arrived in Rotorua, We didn't even know half of the things they told us we could do while we were there.
We are definitely going to stay there again when the next time we visit Rotorua!

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for four days. The rooms are very cozy and clean. We helped with the organization of our travels around the island. Two swimming pools with mineral water allowed us feel relaxed. Great location - close to shopping center, and close to Polynesian Spa. Unlimited wifi in rooms with good speed. If we have time we will go to Rotorua stay only in this hotel and will recommend it to our friends.

“A warm welcome at the Malfroy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 weeks ago
Had a very enjoyable 3 nights stay at the Malfroy in February. The owners, Mairi and Ron, were extremely welcoming and very willing to give information on Rotorua and the surrounding area.
The accommodation was very comfortable and we enjoyed having our own outdoor space. What a fantastic shower too!! Good to have a designated parking space for each unit as this is not always the case.
Appreciated being able to relax in both the pool and the hot mineral pool after a busy, hot day sightseeing. Be warned though - jewellery really does tarnish in the mineral pool. We were well warned by Ron - our own fault for being a bit forgetful!
Very well situated for local sightseeing or shopping.
All in all a very pleasant stay. Thanks Mairi and Ron!

“Warm welcome awaits”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 weeks ago
Stayed for 3 nights in March 2015 to explore Rotorua and the surrounding area. A warm welcome awaited when I checked in and the room was excellent. Fantastic spa bath/shower. Great gardens with the two pools for great relaxation. Ron had excellent knowledge of the area. Advantage of being on main road and near to town though some road noise but rest of facilities made up for this. Would recommend to others.

“Good stay”
4 of 5 starsReviewed 6 days ago NEW
This is our third stay at Malfroy. Each time we stay we notice little improvements. It was nice that my husband had a secure place to put his mountain when it was not in use. The pool was great after a day of walking and even our young son enjoyed it. We enjoyed the spa bath in our room once we got the hang of it. We'll be back again.

“three days was too short”

We stayed in the cottage which was ideal as we were travelling as two couples. Ron and Maire were incredibly helpful and gave us many tips on how to manage our visits to various attractions. The entire motel we very clean and the motel was centrally located. The mineral pool was excellent as was the pool. We also used the BBQ areas and had a very relaxed stay. Highly recommend this motel.

“A great stay”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 2 weeks ago
We (Myself, my wife and son) stayed in the 2 bedroomed apartment for four nights recently.

The cleanliness of the rooms and grounds could not be faulted and neither could Ron's hosting skills.

Motel is close to centre of town ( a 5 - 10 minute walk to the mall), so shopping and restaurants are all close.

Have seen comments re road noise, yes is close to an intersection but traffic did not disturb us in the least at any time.

Pool and spa are great.

Room Tip: I'm a bit of an insomniac so it was great to have a separate lounge so as not to disturb my wife...

“Great Mineral Pool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed Feb 19, 2015
A couple of nights stay at this very good and reasonable motel, while visiting the local area. Room clean and comfortable. Mineral spa great with dip in small pool afterwards. Close drive to centre of town. Ron the owner very helpful.

“Lovely mineral pool and very helpful owner/manager”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed Feb 2015
We picked this motel because it had its own mineral pool. It's much more convenient, and much cheaper to have a soak next to your room, rather than pay for the Polynesian Spa. The motel itself is old, but freshly painted, clean and comfortable. Ron, the manager, is very helpful and friendly. Parking a large car next to your room is a minor challenge as the spaces are small. However, it's an easy walk to the supermarkets and about 15min on foot to the start of the restaurant area.

Had a great time staying at Malfroy for 3 nights. The unit was immaculate, very comfortable beds and pillows.Ron and Mairi were amazing hosts- took a genuine interest in our time in Rotorua, making sure we had many choices and suggestions of things to do. I wanted a recommendation of a hairdresser and Mairi even booked the appointment for me.Best service ever.

“Great stay”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 4 weeks ago
We had 2 nights at the Malfroy, the hosts were very helpful. Outside our unit was a mature tree with tables and chairs around it, ideal to sit under in the shade. We loved the thermal pool after our days activities, even though it was the height of summer it was great to relax in it at night. There is a great drying room heated by the thermal pipes. Clothes dry in no time.

“One day (only) at a great motor lodge”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 4 weeks ago
To summarize, we don't have a single point of complaint.
Our hosts were very helpful, friendly and spent quite some time talking about the facilities (which include a great BBQ and geothermally heated pools) and what you can do around Rotorua.

The bed was good and comfortable, the kitchen was quite large and didn't lack any utilities.
All in all, the small cottages / chalets are great!

We can definitely recommend the Malfroy motor lodge to anyone.

“Friendly hosts, good accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 weeks ago
Stayed here for two nights with husband, young son and mum in law. Mairi & Ron were most welcoming and certainly knew what attractions were worthwhile. Young son loved the warm swimming pool even in the rain! Very conveniently located and two bed apt was very well appointed with everything you need. There were also DVDs you could borrow from reception. Would definitely consider returning here in future.

“Wished we had stayed longer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 weeks ago
We had two nights just before Christmas and, while our first impression was cautious (its an older style complex) from the moment we walked into Reception, we felt incredibly welcome. We got so much good advice and information on what to do and where to go, it was invaluable (and all correct). Cannot say enough nice things about the owners, Ron and Maire.

After that, we just loved the vibe of the complex: the room was very comfortable but not overly large (but we are a family of five), but with the french doors open and a patio area outside, there was room enough. The little touches all over the place make it personal and homely: our two girls couldn't walk past any of the water features without touching and gazing at them, and hunted around the complex looking for all the items on a treasure hunt list provided by the owners. And the hot pools, available 24/7 (so long as you abide by the whispering rule), were great.

Great location, walking distance to a big supermarket, and easy access to the city centre, or the Ogo and Luge. Would definitely stay here again if back in Rotorua.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 weeks ago
This place was brilliant !
Close to everything, comfortable and clean accommodation.
And it was quiet.
We loved the thermal pool - small, but enough for 4 people to slip into.
The heated pool was also good - photos make it look larger than it actually is, but it's more than enough to keep warm in.
The people who run it were incredibly helpful, both the lady (apologies, I have forgotten your name) and Ron - great sense of humour and fun and very knowledgeable on just about everything there is to do, see and eat in Rotorua.
Highly recommended.

Room Tip: All rooms are fine

“Great value and friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 weeks ago via mobile
I had a lovely time in Rotorua. The staff at Malfroy's were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local attractions. The mineral pool was great to relax in and I didn't have any trouble with waiting for a chance to use it. Rooms were reasonably sized and competitively priced. It was also good to see the sustainability initiatives in place including that there were compost and recycling bins available. Would certainly recommend.
