The property itself was cozy, had everything we needed

Because we were there for family reasons, we were very busy during the day, we would often look forward to resting in our room whether it be for a few hours before having to leave again. However multiple times during our stay we were kept awake by the hammering/construction going on in the room next door. Not sure why they’d book out a room, when that was going on next door. Thankfully it was during the day only, however it still was quite annoying as we couldn’t catch up on much sleep as we hoped.

Everything was within a stone's throw from our front door. Room was big enough for us even when we had guests come visit. Staff were excellent and efficient all very friendly. It had a 2way entry/exit access from two different streets which was handy. I liked the fact that the staff offered to refresh our room every day. The beds were very comfortable with nice pillow's which was good for us as we both suffer with shoulder problems, and they had electric blankets which was also great for the shoulders plus warm & snug bed to climb into. We were able to bring our sister out from the Nursing Home and have her spend a couple of nights with us, she was overjoyed, and we were so happy to give her those couple of days out with us.

Although everything was great the traffic going down the back street was a bit noisy especially the trucks. But it is what it is and I just had a nanny nap in the afternoon to compensate for the lost sleep. My husband lost the room key?

An older style layout that had been completely modernised. There was a nice kitchenette with an induction cooktop. It had a large bathroom with a great shower. It had nice comfy chairs to relax in plus a work area/dining table with chairs. The bed was comfy. The wifi was fast. Although it was next to the highway, it was quiet at night, so we had a good rest. The staff were friendly and super helpful. This represented good value for money. We would definitely stay again.

Everything was so nice! Staff were amazing, so cheerful and friendly. We stayed an extra night and were treated to the room being serviced with fresh towels and a top-up of tea and coffee. Would definitely stay again 😊 The shower was awesome, and the kitchenette was so handy to cook our own meals. Rooms are quiet too.

Nothing I didn't like, although it could use an extractor in the bathroom and a privacy shade on the bathroom window. Overall, such a relaxing, comfortable stay 😁

A newly refurbished room that was much nicer/cleaner that other older motels we've stayed at recently; kudos to the owner/operator for a job well done. Having a heat pump instead of an 'old-fashioned' bar heater was appreciated (and much more effective/energy-efficient). Good quality curtain fabrics, thoughtful execution of the room layout, and more -- all well done.

Unfortunately, as in most NZ motels, there was not a fan in the shower room, which meant that it steamed up more than necessary. This will cause problems in the long run, so it would be good if a fan was added to reduce future maintenance and increase user comfort. The absence of a fan did not cause us any discomfort, it is only a feature that we (as former B&B owners ourselves) know will pay dividends in the future.

Our room with the full kitchen facilities was upstairs. That was our only concern. Once there we had everything we needed. The guest laundry was brilliant -2x2 coins for wash and the same for dry. Location was convenient- 900 metres to Woolworths, New World, Warehouse and tourist information. We walked but driving is no problem.

We don’t like steps but that’s an age related issue, not a motel related issue.

We aren't resort people, we wanted budget friendly, decent place. This place is it for us, Lynn and husband, neat people. large clean room, comfy bed, great TV. It rained the night we were there, so lots of selection on the TV. Quiet place, clean. I would stay here again. The Chinese food across the street is pretty good too. Perfect place to explore the Catlins from.

I found no faults with this lodging.

The owners and staff are friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and perfect for our family of four. The room had been freshly painted and it gave it a more modern and clean feel. The facilities are great and the room had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this motel if travelling through Balclutha.

For a large bathroom the shower space is quite confined when the curtain is pulled around, but this is manageable.

Loved pretty much everything. Super accessible, heaps of privacy, great bath tub, plenty of space. Very accommodating with a dog and a 2 month baby. Super nice and amazing staff and loved having own carpark directly outside the room.

The squeaky, creaky lounge chairs😅. They were really comfy just really noisy everytime you moved just a little.

We had a very nice room with a comfortable bed. The bathroom had a good shower. Everything was clean and bright. There should be more places like this!

This place is so popular that we couldn't stay in our room for a further night. The one we were transferred to was comfortable and larger but had no window in the bathroom.
