Rosebank Lodge Motor Hotel

Average dining experience

Reviewed By Mandypine09

Had a meal at the restaurant waitress was lovely. Steak not cooked the way I asked I sent it back then it came out like a pair of leather boots. Not the nicest I’ve had. Pretty average I wouldn’t recommend. Everyone else’s meals where ok. Not ideal.

Checked in for one night but stayed two. This motel is old but refurbished to a high standard. It is very clean and comfortable with a really good bed. Little kitchen has full size oven and is well equipped. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Not only can you experience a piece of NZ history but the home boasts many modern conveniences such as central heating, WIFI, cafe quality coffee but also a fresh water hot pool to relax in

Classy, but at mates rates

Reviewed By Kiwiseley

On the outskirts of town (so no traffic noise) this is a mix of luxury and economy. The complimentary drink was unexpected but welcome. I recommend paying a little more for the fabulous cooked breakfast.

Stayed for a night. Room was a good size, nice and clean. Owner was very helpful upon check in and also with sharing local amenities. Having a decent sized spa bath was an absolute treat and good for soaking away the day's stresses. Would definitely stay again.

Hill View Camp Site

Pretty basic

Reviewed By A S

Not the most enjoyable stay we’re had. Alright it was cheap, but you pay for what you get - or rather you don’t pay for what you don’t get. The kitchen has no cooking facilities, one small bar fridge and one sink for over 50 campers, no wash basins in the toilets, and you pay extra for the showers. Apparently, if you pay extra, you can stay in the “backpackers” which is a fairly cheap mattress in a bunk room and you also get an electric element to cook on. As said “you get what you pay for”

+ easy going staff + spacious room (14) + can eat/drink/sleep on site + oil heater in room heated up quickly - a bit dated - very squeaky floorboards - some parts of room dusty - tried to charge twice until we showed reservation. * reminiscent of a saloon
