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! ##### Hamish Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent value for money It’s a typical NZ motel - perfect for a short stay whilst travelling around this amazing country. The owner was incredibly helpful and informative on arrival which ensured we made the most do our first day in the area. Close the caves at Waitamo but it’s also worth going to the Kiwi Sanctuary- some great work being done to protect them.

It was very clean and came as promised. Shower was a bit wonky to turn on and towels were rather thin. Definitely the least nice of the 4 similar places we stayed in across the North Island but great location and much less costly than 2 of them. ##### Stacie Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Louis 15 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Whilst perfectly serviceable and undeniably a pleasant motel, I was a bit disappointed by some of the obvious lack of maintenance in the room. Shower was very outdated, the bathroom floor linoleum floor very slippery, paint in several areas of the bathroom was peeling or damaged, and the bathroom fixtures (heater, towel rail etc) were extremely dated or worn out. Perhaps most bizzare of all was the fact that the room (located upstairs) shook and rattled like a gentle earthquake whenever trucks would pass on the road. Again, perfectly serviceable lodging for a one night stay, the staff were lovely and the bed comfortable, walking distance to shops and eateries. If I had paid less for the room, I'd have far less complaints but at $180 a night it did not quite live up to my expectations. Hopefully the owners will consider updating some of their facilities in future. ##### Louis Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn 28 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Convenient location, good size rooms, easy parking. Would be good to have air con in the separated bedroom. ##### Kathryn Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 26 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice location, clean, well stocked, helpful stall ##### David Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 24 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place to stay, close to town and walkable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 11 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > > [Millbrook Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Millbrook-Resort.h584862.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omapere-Hotels-The-Heads-Hokianga.h1217506.Hotel-Information) > > [Kelly Rd Cambridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Kelly-Rd-Cambridge-Lodge.h17679551.Hotel-Information) > > [Scenic Hotel Punakaiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Punakaiki-Resort.h982476.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Rotorua-Marama.h3512184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Duke of Marlborough Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Russell-Hotels-The-Duke-Of-Marlborough-Hotel.h1038082.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Hotel Greymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Kingsgate-Hotel-Greymouth.h12933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Hahei Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hahei-Hotels-Hahei-Holiday-Resort.h9869496.Hotel-Information) > > [The Amberley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amberley-Hotels-The-Amberley-Hotel.h83782595.Hotel-Information) > > [Porters Boutique Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havelock-North-Hotels-Porters-Boutique-Hotel.h15965962.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops Lodge & Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Treetops-Lodge-Estate.h912953.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Queenstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Queenstown.h4412246.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardrona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Cardrona-Hotel.h9629768.Hotel-Information) > > [Kinloch Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Kinloch-Wilderness-Retreat.h3848386.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Ridge Studios and Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Boutique-Bed-Breakfast.h9625233.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Holiday Units](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Bayside-Holiday-Units.h49101011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Lake Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hidden-Lake-Hotel-And-Apartments.h29081973.Hotel-Information) > > [Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omarama-Hotels-Heritage-Gateway-Hotel.h519242.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Beachfront-Resort.h6960059.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Park-Village-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32421560.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Waitomo-Caves-Guest-Lodge.h16121337.Hotel-Information) > > [Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park & Motels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Lakeview-Kiwi-Holiday-Park-Motels.h4192650.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barn Cabins & Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marahau-Hotels-The-Barn-Cabins-Camping.h15886153.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ---
