Stayed here for one night and it was ok. Unfortunately I think I looked at the newest refurbished rooms pictures (but turns out that’s not what I booked!) when we arrived it was quite different to what we imagined. Staff were lovely offered for us to upgrade our room for the extra $$. We stayed in our original room in the end and it was fine. Good quiet location and big property.

Laundry service extremely well organised. Although there was not a supermarket close at hand (for foot traffic), there was a wonderful restaurant nearby. On the whole t motel is centrally located. E Hayes about 1.5 km away, and Bill Richardson Museum 3 km from town. The hostess and family were so helpful. Kitchen and facilities well appointed

Office staff amazing and very helpful. Heater was on and room very inviting. We were going to Rakiura for only one night but were able to leave our main luggage with motel as we were coming back to them. Recommendef restaurant, The saucy chef, was amazing. Only downside was water pressure in shower.
