The room was clean and amenities were fine. The towels weren’t really clean and there were stains on some of them. It was cool that there was Netflix on the TV. I was expecting a bit more for the price that I paid. Overall it was an average experience.

Location was perfect, and room was clean and reasonably comfortable for our needs. Motel needs to upgrade bedding and facilities as they didn’t exactly reflect what was shown on the website.
Was pleasantly surprised after reading all the bad reviews. Unfortunately we were only given 1 towel but everything else was as expected. Bit run down but get what you pay for.
Extreme weather event, unable to get through to Auckland from Wellington due to all routes being closed, yet was still charged full price!
No meet you half way, as still have to make the trip and still need somewhere to stay, but not my fault all roads were closed!
VERY UNFAIR
Friendly and helpful staff. Booked for 4 people but only 3 provided for and I had to make own bed on couch. Property is sufficient but quite rundown and lacking in areas.

Was exactly like it looks in the pictures, and was very close to where our event was held
The Motel was dated and not well kept generally. Compared to others I have stayed in was not good value for money (at the full $140 per night) I was charged for staying another night.
