    I had a great experience at this small, modest motel. the rooms were clean and tidy, featuring comfortable beds and warm geothermal heating. It's located in a quiet area, just a short walk to the hot pools in Tokaanu.

    Walls were very thin. Some noise from neighbors.

    The rooms are heated and generous-sized, with coffee/tea making equipment, a multi-channel television, and a dining area. The staff is amiable and caring as well as hotel's owner.

    Lovely little hotel in a beautiful quiet area near ski fields, and national parks. Amazing service, amazingly friendly staff. A great-sized and newly renovated and reasonably priced room in the 2nd bedroom.

    the experience was truly enjoyable. the highlight of my stay was the private hot mineral pools, where I could relax and unwind after a long day of meetings. These pools, available for free guest use, provided an ideal escape—perfectly heated and quite peaceful. the room I stayed in was clean, spacious, and maintained a cozy atmosphere, with central heating ensuring a warm environment. the motel's location in Tokaanu was conveniently just a short drive from Turangi, allowing for easy access to local dining options like the nearby Tokaanu Tavern. it offered a delightful blend of comfort and tranquility.

    Odd room layout.

    The beds were newly renovated, and I slept well. the bedroom was separate and had a large private bathroom. - the location was particularly good, a short walk to the mountains, the services supplied, and Turangi shops. Pos" Rewrite: the newly renovated beds were comfortable, and I had a restful sleep. - the separate bedroom with a spacious private bathroom was a nice touch. - the location was fantastic, just a short walk to the mountains, services, and shops in Turangi.

    The location of this place was great, within walking distance to amenities, a different town, and a snowy area, only 2 km from Waihi Bay.

    We only stayed at the Rainbow Motel & Hot Pools for 1 night, but everything was great. the standard apartment was spacious and had good cooking facilities, comfortable furnishings, and a separate bedroom.

    We chilled in the hot mineral pools all night and felt like total legends—totally perfect after a long day of adventure. The beds were super comfy too, which was a lifesaver after all the fun we had! One bummer was the missing poolside Bluetooth speaker for our party vibes. Seriously, imagine the late-night hangouts with tunes!
