Really happy and cheerful host on arrival who shared some local knowledge of the penguins and even offered me muffins to have with a cup of tea. Convenient location, close to historic area which we loved. The property is a little dated in the bathroom but functional. The 2 bedroom unit was spacious and met our needs for the night. The host was one of the friendliest people I have come across in motels whilst travelling NZ

The toilet was very low to the ground which could be a struggle for some. The shower / bath could perhaps be updated at some point but it was functional.

excellent and very friendly staff, place is clean and have everything you need for a short comfortable stay. location is great with shops a close walk to and the f you have a dog like me, a park is just beside the motel so super convenient for walks.

Netflix on the tv would be great (I didn’t try the wifi though which is free). shower is a bit on the short side and I’m not a tall person by any means.

Great location Close to town Amazing breakfast and really good homemade muffins on arrival 😊 Very welcomed by property manager/ Owner

there’s nothing not to like

Lovely, easy going, clean place to stay for a night.. We were kindly up graded to a room with a spa.. It had everything we needed….

If I have to say anything negative, it would be that the room is in need of an update. Shower, tap fixtures, skirting boards, paint job, especially heating, was all very old and on its way out….

We are a family of 3, travelling with our dog and this place suited us perfectly. Added bonus, the motel is just next to a big park and therefore was good for morning and evening walks with him. The unit is well equipped, clean, tidy and the rooms are spacious. Situated on main street but was quiet and driving distance to attractions were close to it. Wylie at reception was very welcoming and friendly.

We received a very warm welcome. Room very clean, warm and comfortable. Loved the electronic bedside cabinets.

Not complaints, but the bathroom and kitchen taps really need an upgrade. More electric plugs needed, by kitchen bench and in living area for laptops etc.

Ideal Motel for our needs.

N/A

We love the location and the size of the unit. We appreciate having a couch and a dining table. The host is a very friendly person and had lots of special ideas.

It is getting a bit tired looking. The couch is very low and uncomfortable. We have stayed before a couple of years ago and nothing seems to have been upgraded.

We were greeted very warmly, We had an extremely comfortable suite, a nice surprise as we had not expected so much space. As it was close to the main road we thought it might be noisy, but this was not the case. The motel is situated close to the main area of town. Our host left a delicious breakfast in our frig, far better than we have had on any of our travels. Not being used to a TV we found if very straightforward to use, and were able to get BBC to watch the Queen's funeral. We would stay again and defiinately recommend it to friends.

We did not order a breakfast, but all the facilities were there if you wished to cook your own meals. The complimentary muffins on arrival was a nice extra. We enjoyed our stay.

We were happy with everything, so have nothing to complain about.
