Great service from friendly staff, really appreciated the bottled water and milk. Arrived at 3pm and was warmly greeted, couldnt believe what good value this place was, had a brilliant nights sleep and was ready to get on with my travels the next day, many thanks!

To be fair I probably selected the wrong motel and room type for our needs. We had two ground floor rooms (the cheapest type). These were pretty small with not much space around the bed for two people. No outlook. Small but new bathroom. Clean apart from some stains on the carpet. The worst part was that we could hear...

We stayed one night in a two bedroom ground floor unit. The motor lodge is on the water and convenient to both shops and Picton Ferry Terminal. Our room was very clean and modern in decor. This is a place we would come back to in Wellington.

The owners, Heather and Gary were outstandingly helpful and friendly - nothing was a problem. Their Sat evening fill in lady was new to the motel but just as helpful. Such nice people set the tone for your holiday and helped plan public transport. The studio room was modern and extremely clean.

A nice comfortable room, clean and tidy. Comfy bed, clean and decent sized ensuite shower room. A fridge, microwave, sink, etc. Seemed safe and staff were helpful. Only thing is that this Motel is not in Wellington, it is in Low Hutt, lucky we had a car or would be stuck. 20 minute drive from ferry and city centre.

We stayed here overnight when returning from a business trip in Auckland, we had to drive down because we picked up our new ute there and was leaving for Christchurch on the ferry the next morning. We found the room really well decorated and value for money. It had all your basic needs, was a quiet place where you could... More

A very nice place to stay, the hotel is on a dual carriageway overlooking the sea, if you want a lie in probably shouldn't go for sea view as traffic starts to build up as people go to work in Wellington. The room we had was well appointed with good furnishings and decor. Only stayed overnight after arriving from South... More

My wife and I used this as a base to visit Wellington. The Manager and his wife are very friendly and helpful. There is a good selection of eating options in Petone and a good train service into the City. Parking is free. The optional breakfasts are well worth ordering. .

Friendly service, Room was very nice and modern, bathroom was a bit older but spotless so cleanliness standards here are very high. I had a lovely stay for two nights on work, would stay again. Very nice place, secure parking around the back. Short walk up to Petone main street. Really nice hosts. A + Would recommend
