"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!"

"My family stayed here for two nights. This location is just around the corner from the caves, but is secluded. An excellent place to stay to avoid the crowds. The hostess responds fairly quickly to questions. I highly recommend going on the farm tour if you can - the tour is usually included for people staying at one of the hostess's properties, and includes the opportunity to meet sheep, cows, goats, alpacas, emus, and ostriches. It was very fun! I also highly recommend turning off all the lights and heading out on the porch late at night if you can; the location is very far away from light pollution, which means that you can see many more stars than most people are typically able to.There weren't really any downsides to our stay, although there are a few things to be aware of. First, the driveway is very steep and a bit tight, so be careful when driving up. Second, the house is a bit older, so if you can't stand bugs or you need recently renovated appliances, I would find somewhere else to stay (but if you don't mind those things, the house is very lovely!). Third, the house would probably be very difficult, if not impossible, to access for wheelchair users.All in all, I highly recommend this location for visitors! "
