Great hosts, upgraded us to a very spacious unit with our own laundry which was much appreciated after a week on the road. Very clean, comfortable and quiet. I took Neil's advice and went for a walk around the nearby gardens and finished with an icecream from the service station. Fabulous! Would definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this motel - it was basic but met all our needs. Very clean. Comfortable beds and walking distance to town. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and there were lovely personal touches such as fudge on arrival - very thoughtful. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
Facilities: This may be the largest hotel in the town of Tongariro Volcano, with ample parking 🅿️, a restaurant (the taste is good), and a bar.
Environment: There is a gas station in the town, with a small supermarket attached. The oil and commodity prices are relatively high. The town is not big, there are few people, and it is quiet. You can see the crater in the distance outside the hotel door and the restaurant.
Hygiene: The room is a loft, the area is not large, the bathroom is small, and there is no kitchenware in the room for cooking.
All in all, for the magnificent volcano hiking, there seems to be not much choice except staying here, but it is also a two-night stay, it will not be too difficult, it is good
Reception is unfriendly - we arrived at 5:04 p.m. and had to call because reception is open until 5 p.m. So we had to call because we couldn't find the email (about opening the gate and other instructions). She seemed very annoyed! The house and the location are very nice and clean. But also showing its age - the kitchen and bathroom are in need of renovation.

Overall a great stay!
The location is excellent and it is very convenient from the city center. The owner and his wife are very patient and friendly Chinese, the stay experience is very good, the room is very large.
Excellent Motel for the price. Exactly what I needed for quick business trip through Palmerston North
Very Good

MM_PorschaWe enjoyed our one night stay. It was easy to locate the hotel. The front desk manager was courteous and friendly and helpful.
The hotel room was cozy, clean and spacious. We had a nice view of Palmy from the hotel room. There was an AC, a mini fridge, hot water, kettle, coffee, black tea, flavoured tea, milk and sugar available in the room. Unfortunately, you have to bring your own bottle of water, toothbrush & toothpaste. No hairdryer. Very comfortable bed & mattress. There's also a gymnastic and laundry facility available. Parking facility was available for the hotel's customers.
Pak n Save was just across the street. There was also Burger King, Thai restaurants, a pub and some other eating spot nearby. There was breakfast and dinner available upon purchase at the hotel.
Part of the hotel is under renovation. We reached there in the late afternoon and left around 10 a.m so most probably, this could be the reason we didn't hear any noise. We really wish we could stay more than a night and get the chance to explore Palmy a bit more.
GGuest UserThis was our base for the Tongariro Alpine Trail and I'm glad because the drive from here to the trail head carpark was easier than from Turangi (particularly appreciated during the dark predawn hours). The accommodation also offers a shuttle service at certain timings if you prefer that. The hostel kitchen was also available for hotel guests' use, which was lovely. I think laundry is also available in the basement, for a fee. Room light switches were tricky to locate (hidden by the side tables) but the staff at reception was happy to help. View from the room, as others have mentioned, was a highlight.
GGuest UserThe manager was incredibly kind and friendly. The room condition was excellent; upon our evening arrival, the manager had thoughtfully pre-heated the room for us. The spacious bathroom, with safety bars for seniors/mobility impaired, was impressive. Our children enjoyed Netflix. Breakfast, served personally by the manager from 7:30 AM, was delicious, and the warm hospitality in the quaint dining area created a memorable experience for our family. Special thanks to the adorable Lucky and to the manager for these precious memories. We will definitely visit again.
GGuest UserThe only problem we had was the room was double booked for what ever reason . We require a refund for the second room as it was cancelled by the Coachman.
디디지털노마드류It was spacious and comfortable enough for a family of 3-4 to stay together.
The cooking facilities are well equipped, so it is convenient.
Clean and comfortable bedding.
Good Wi-Fi as well.
If you ever need to stay in Palmerston North, Fitzroy Motel is a great choice.
GGuest UserWe had a great stay! Front desk was friendly and helpful. The rooms and the place was clean. We arrived at the start of winter season, not too many guests so we had the place almost to ourselves. The amenities was great, they had a lot of DVDs for entertainment, and the common kitchen was clean and well maintained. We also ate at the cafe which was delicious. The location was walking distance to the groceries, the tourist information center and other eateries. Overall a great stay!

두두리아빠Hotel value was very good
location is good
However, I mistook it for breakfast included, so I ate breakfast and charged it.
Trip.com says $24 per person.
The counter asked for $28.
Of course, I paid 24 dollars, but it felt a little like that.
I had a good rest anyway
GGuest UserBig spaced and one bedroom, check in was smooth. Very much enjoyed our stay, did regret not booking another night while in the region. Definitely will be staying here again when we pass through Palmerston North. So close to the town centre within walking distance to super market, takeaways and the town Mall. Love it. Comfortable beds and smelt clean 🙂
