Ditez, NZ, July 2009
We recently stayed at Heywoods and were pleasantly surprised. This motel offers everything Rotorua is known for at a very reasonable price. The room was clean and spacious. We had a kitchnette that was great for self catering. This motel has the biggest spa pools that we have encountered in NZ and you can fill them with fresh water so no bathing in other peoples water.The outdoor heated pool was as warm as the Polynesian pool and a lot more private. There is also a Sauna and mineral pool and newly installed gym. The new managers at Heywoods have really made a difference and went out of their way to make sure everything was great without being invasive. It is an easy walk to town about 5 minutes and you are surronded by good quality restaurants and cafes. The managers can book you a table at the skyline restaurant that includes pick up and return from motel at a very reasonable rate. (This restaurant is the best we have eaten at in NZ with unbelievable views over Rotorua).
Heywoods is not rated 5 star so dont stay here if thats what you want but if you are looking for excellent value for money dont go anywhere else!!!! We will be back!!!

I have stayed at heywoods about 4 times over the past few years and have had a good stay everytime. The staff are friendly and i have taken friends there. Im in my early 20s so my freinds and i love that heywoods is affordable. Its nice and quiete so we used the hot pool outside often. i found that each time i stayed there was always an extra bed or 2 in the room. And the private spa is awsome!!!. I actually came online looking to book another stay here for a suprise weekend with my husband...well be back!
