10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stay and such a lovely place to be in! It was very clean and tidy, and the staff were very kind. Parking was also so great and everything very easy to find within the venue. It is also the perfect location, across the road from the supermarket and only a few blocks away from the main shopping centres. Super great place and would recommend!!"

Bentleys Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Great accommodation, location, staff and loved the spa bath. Only thing I didn’t enjoy was being able to hear the snoring from the room next door through the night and their conversations the next morning. Glad I packed my earplugs. I would stay there again but if they are not fully booked, I will ask for a room with no neighbours."

"Brilliant motel. I travel to Palmerston North on a regular basis and this is one of the best motels I have stayed at. Large rooms, comfortable bed, good size kitchen with plenty of crockery. Large bathroom with good amenities and lovely large walk in shower. Very clean upgraded property. Although on busy main road, Fitzherbert Ave, motel sits at back of property and is very quiet. Lovely walks around the area, and close to square. I would recommend this motel, with friendly management which makes your stay very pleasant."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Rongotea?

While Rongotea itself is a small, rural village primarily residential, the best area to stay for visitors looking to explore the wider Manawatū region while enjoying a tranquil base would be just outside the village center, offering easy access to State Highway 3.This offers a peaceful countryside setting, often with views of farmland and the Tararua Ranges, while still being a short drive to Rongotea's local amenities like the general store and cafe. It's an excellent choice for couples or families seeking a quiet retreat after exploring the region.For those prioritizing convenient access to larger town facilities and regional attractions, staying a bit further afield in nearby Palmerston North is a practical option.
