Kea Motel and Holiday Park

Super friendly owner. Great room setup ie kitchenette (tea coffee milk soap and towels).Very clean and tidy. Great shower pressure. Comfy bed. Little frills but even had even outdoor furniture. Did not look much but was better than most much higher cost accom. Had a great night's sleep. A little jem

Putaruru is a handy stopover for travel between Auckland and Wellington or Hawkes Bay, and although this is an old motel, it is well located for being far enough back from the main highway that the trucks thundering by aren't too disturbing, and it's great that the Countdown supermarket is just up the opposite side of the road. We are always looking for a separate bedroom, which is becoming expensive, and this motel is an old but affordable option. We had unit 3, and found it OK, a bit of wall damage in the bathroom and shower unit, paintwork a bit worn in places, but overall the unit looks as if it has been recently re-painted, and was well aired. The rear windows were fully open when we arrived. The unusually small kitchen has a full stove, which is becoming rare these days. The bathroom area is also a bit cramped, but overall, the unit is not gloomy or pokey, as it has lots of windows. Most importantly, the beds are OK.

The outside appearance should have put us off.We paid $300 for 2 nights.The room was less than basic. Not as clean as it should or could have been,. No room service or change of towels. Which for the price we expected,hav ing paid less money, in other motels, and way better facilities and service. We won't recommend or be back to this motel.

Probably one of the most unpleasant stay I've experienced.The room reeks and the staff is rude as.They can't even be professional.Paid 300nzd a night and we can't even swim in their pools because it is filthy.Wouldn't recommend. Use this accomodation as your last resort. Most Airbnbs would've been better.

Very dirty place,the manager was very rude ,he even doesn't talk to the guest nicely. The toilet was very dirty. Worst motel ever to stay over.will never visit again and will never recommend to anyone.

Nice little motel, staff were great very helpful when asking questions. Beds were comfy, nice little place to stay would recommend to others.

The room wasn't clean, the pool advertised was Green and couldn't swim in it. Refused to stay

Terrible attitude from the owner Ronnie. Disrespectful towards clients. No customer service skills at all. Cleaning staff were the only nice people. Place is rundown and not worth the money.
