Excellent Motel

Was an excellent stay. Motel units were really clean, super comfy beds and bathroom linen. It was a freezing cold night and the rooms were very warm and well insulated. Kitchen well stocked with everything you could need for self catering. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Spacious and friendly.

Lovely helpful host. Great well appointed unit, spacious and everything we needed. The heaters kept us cosy after we woke to -1 degree in the morning. Thank you for the great user friendly laundry facilities. We felt the hot water system could have been better. The shower was weak and hard to get really hot and we boiled the kettle to wash the dishes.

Stopped for one night and the motel was exactly what we needed. Clean, peaceful location and onsite free parking right in front of the room which was convenient. Funny smell in the room coming from the cupboards in the kitchenette, couldn't put our finger on it as they weren't dirty (likely just old/musty).

Property was clean but beds were not comfortable and the rooms were very small and outdated. For a short stay while travelling through it was fine.

This property was clean, but very dated. The cabinet in the bathroom looked like it had water damage. The bathroom only had a shaver outlet, but there was a full size mirror in the main room- problem was I couldn't get ready in the morning until my husband woke up! The bed was hard and I had a terrible time sleeping. We rented a basic studio, so maybe the other rooms were better, but I would not stay here again. Like all other motels in NZ, the windows didn't have screens, and I was killing moths and sand flys for quite a while once it got dark, even though we closed the windows immediately upon arrival.

Very comfortable stay, clean and neat room with plenty of space. Only negative was there was confusion over how late check-in was open. I received an email that said 8.30pm but when I called to say I'd arrive at 8.25pm they said they close at 8.00pm and made it sound like they were doing me a favour by staying open.
