Featuring private hot mineral pools that are free and exclusive for guests, Rainbow Motel & Hot Pools offers spacious self-catering units with central heating, fully equipped kitchens and TVs with DVD player and satellite channels. Free WiFi is available.

The hot pools, which run 24/7 were awesome and very warm. Three out of four pools were operating during our stay and they can be locked, so they become private pools. When we went for a bath in a pool after dinner, only one was occupied. Rooms were very clean and heating was turned on since it was already a bit chilly outside.

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    The most fantastic apartment one could hope for, literally one of the best if not the best of our 14 weeks travelling around Australia and NZ and using numerous motels and hotels.

    Loved the location. We walked down along the river which was beautiful. We used the motel as a base for the Tongariro Crossing hike and it was perfect.

    There wasn’t a lot of choice of motels in Turangi so we were pleased to find this one. The facilities were fairly basic but adequate. The restaurant food was OK and the staff were willing.

    Location. It felt welcoming and we were comfortable as soon as we arrived. It’s an old motel but old and new still serves our needs of shower, bed and cooking.

    You stay under shady trees with marvelous bird song. Pipiwhararoa (shining cuckoos) sang to me as I sat on my deck having a cup of tea. You can walk along the Tongariro River just through the back gate and watch the anglers casting for trout. This is my absolute favourite motel in New Zealand.

    The location of the motel is excellent, just off the main highway. Very peaceful, scenic surroundings. The room was well presented, clean and tidy and had more than adequate supply of milk, tea, coffee and toiletries. We stayed here in September and it was very cold but the room temperature was perfect, the beds were warm. Good supply of linen was provided. My elderly dad was visiting from overseas and he was very impressed.
