Staff were great and opened up especially for a few of us as we had booked in for the Pink concert in Dunedin. Beautiful building and setting in Herbert. Clean and comfortable with great shower. Definitely recommend.

Clean and quiet, if you like privacy you’ll like it.

Had to call to get my room number and code when I arrived but ended up getting it which was all good! Would be nice to have it emailed or texted before hand without having to ask. Wish the big panel heaters were going as it is quite cold. The heater that was provided did do the job as well as the electric blankets.

Parking was good, staff were friendly

Musty smell (but it did look like a older building) bathroom had a quite a few flies which meant there was a lot of fly poop in the corners of the room

The location suited our needs being close to where family lived. The beds were comfortable. The rooms were clean, pretty gardens.

It was impossible to get in contact with the manager of the property. They don’t answer the phone or return emails.My sister who lives near by went to check us in to the Mill house due to our late arrival. Upon looking at the rooms we would be staying in at The Millhouse, she knew it wouldn’t be suitable for our 10day stay , so she had us moved to the motel rooms on sight. There is no services at all on the property, we had to contact them to get our room serviced once during our stay , all we really wanted was fresh towels, as they do not dry during the day, even after 2 days they’re still damp.We literally did not see one staff member over our 10day stay. There is no keys for the doors, instead you are given a pass code for entry, everyday was a challenge with the keypad, it took multiple attempts to get into your room. The cupboards in the bathroom had a putrid smell, not sure if it had something to do with the drain. The cupboards had plates , cutlery but limited cups and glasses. I do not feel it was worth the money we paid per night. My advice to the owners, go stay at another motel and have a look at the basic necessities in a self contained motel room, the bedding, linen, towels, cups , glasses, iron and ironing board.

Clean.Heater warmed room well and bed comfy.

Misrepresented the venue.....Millhouse photo doesnt depict where we stayed. Very unkept surroundings Lots of spoons but just 2 knives and 1x fork. No plunger coffee, just a plunger, no plain tea just herbal(my husband likes plain tea. No instant coffee apart from decaff. No milk provided which was a pity as the closest shop was 20mins away.

The premises were clean and reasonably modern. There were coffee/tea sachets the heater was efficient and tv was reasponable

There were no cups or mugs for coffee and no milk and only a single glass The exterior and the grounds were poorly maintained . The site has such potential and it is such a shame

Had the basics, comfy bed, small kitchenette ensuite.

Curtains were useless when outside light streams through when trying to sleep.Need blackout curtains TV is useless, not connected to aerial or dish. Shower was ok but water goes everywhere. Had to use all the towels to dry the slippery tiles. Needs a grounds keeper.

As per the previous message sent to you.we would I'm certain have loved the place But. The place was empty with no notification from you or the Mill house that the information I had received was a lie Roy traies

We had passed the Mill house, and my wife had admired the building, and you're pictures and comments on what to expect. Only to find it locked and unattended .there was no information on the door or any information received that this was happening .After a phone call where there was no any apology for her avoidance of contacting me and just said if you drive back to Oamaru, we will house you there. So we had booked, looked forward to and drove to the Mill house only to have to return as it was infact closed I need you to take action of the illegally advertising and taking money for something that doesn't exist.. I have a booking with you to Roatonga on the 18 .I have phoned them and have been assured they have confirmed that they are, in fact, there and will be looked after with respect .
