Very convenient & comfortable with great value 🎖
Loved the unit, great for a family of 4, could see the southern alps from the kids room window. Good size. The only thing was kitchen table is a little wobbly (told the owner) & the shower cubicle was snug 😔 Well priced, honestly best motel we have stayed in for a long time.

I stayed in a duplex apartment - downstairs a small kitchen, shower room & sitting area, and upstairs a comfortable bed, plus a small outside balcony. Good shower, but it was in a very tight space. Quiet & efficient aircon. Friendly welcome from the owner.

Mr. Happy first night in New Zealand
It was what I expected, simple and clean. The room was a good size to house the two single beds, which were comfortable. Big clean shower room. The staff were polite and helpful. Located on a busy road, so some traffic noise.

We only stayed one night but our room was perfect for what we wanted. The room was small but very cosy. The bathroom was very clean and roomy. The water pressure was awesome in the shower. The bed was comfortable. It was within walking distance to everything we needed. We would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay as this was a few days away from home to just relax and just do the things we wanted to do. We really liked our room and it was always kept clean. The staff we very friendly which I really enjoyed. When going away and staying in Motels its just so nice to be met by very friendly staff, so we thank you for that.

Nice outlying location
Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location. It's about a 15 minute walk to a major shopping center, but only about 5 minutes to a smaller center with a good range of food choices. It is also on 3 main bus routes, with stops practically in front of the motel. One minor comfort issue was that the bedroom was not on the same level as the bath, but overall a very nice unit and great value. Would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic location and very friendly staff. Beds are very comfortable but couch wasn’t! Room is also very small and not much space for three adults in a two bedroom room.
