Parakai Geothermal Motel

Booked the family unit for a weekend and we overall loved it despite a couple of things. Spa was massive and also gated off. Heatpump works perfectly to keep yourselves and kids warm! Definitely had to have it on as the blankets are thin. Would recommend bringing your own or blasting the heatpump. Plenty of towels provided. Water pressure for the shower is okay. Dining table was a little wobbly but seems like it's just missing 1 screw. Wasn't sure if i didn't know how to use the elements or it just stays on one heat setting, HIGH. Nice sized porch and plenty of outdoor chairs to use. Found one cockroach under the couch and still waiting for deposit.

I actually really enjoyed my stay. It wasn't flash but covered all my needs I had a private hot tub and just across the road at Parakai Pools I got a great discount to use the pools all day since i was staying at the Motel. If anything was negative about my stay it was ANTS nothing a spray can couldn't fix. I definitely will be staying here again it was homely and comfortable for me close to shops and Helensville.

1 year on and I thought I’d give this place another go. Big mistake! Upon arrival we had to locate a cleaner to let us into the room. The room was clean and tidy but very worn, definately needs an upgrade. I went to use the bathroom and found the door wouldn’t open. The lock had jammed. I called to see if anyone could help and no one except a cleaner onsite. The main bathroom next to reception was out of order. My partner who is a builder had to remove the door handle completely so I could use the bathroom. These rooms need urgent maintenance. We promptly left after and I won’t ever return.
