Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was a last minute booking but from the minute we drove into the motel we knew it was a winner. Beautiful tended gardens and pots, very quiet and so comfortable and obviously little personal touches like coloured matching bedding, quirky tiling in kitchen. Well thought out bathroom and kitchen. We loved everything about it

This motel is a good example of solid New Zealand accommodation - a classic lodge with good kitchen amenities, a comfortable room, and plenty of parking. The motel is set back from town, and while the car park is modest there are plenty of e-bikes to rent.

No Shower Door

Motel is very easy to find and the room was comfortable but the shower had no door and water spilled onto the stone floor which made it very slippery.
