Staff were very helpful and rooms were clean, with great facilities available. Handy location.
The room was fantastic! So much room. The location was excellent too - close to everything. The check in / check out was easy and the staff were super friendly. Getting some free milk was a bonus.

The staff was effusively welcoming, and this was the best bed/shower quality combination I have experienced in the south end thus far!
Clean and tidy both inside and outside. The bedroom is very tight manoeuvring around the bed and the toilet was very small. We are not big people but I would imagine anyone with long legs would struggle!

Very handy to Queens Park where I was taking part in a sporting event. Cooking facilities were very good.
Large self-contained unit. Older but clean. Large bathroom with a washing machine & laundry liquid supplied. Fully equipped kitchen. Good on-site parking. Staff very friendly & helpful. A pleasant stay.

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.
