My partner stayed at Carlton Mill for 3 nights in December, then another 3 nights in January. On both occasions all staff were informative, helpful and extremely friendly. The motel was comfortable, walking distance to town and I would not hesitate to stay there again, or recommend it to others.

at a cost of $130 a night was very expensive considering we stayed in another motel the night after for the same price and is was brand new and clean. the carpet was a bit damp when we arrived and due to having a wet carpet and the room been locked up it had a very strong musty smell the... More

Our family stayed here on New Years as we couldn't really find accommodation anywhere else. We decided to go to Christchurch at the last minute and so everywhere else was booked out for our family of 7 Unfortunately they could not accommodate us in one room so they gave us 2 rooms at $100NZD a night per room which was...

Very friendly reception, we booked for 2 separate nights on our 1st day of the trip and last day in NZ and they without hesitation charged us immediately for both.

The bar fridge throughout the night was extremly loud.The bathroom was not the cleanest. There was no fan either in bathroom so when you showered everything... More

Great little Motel, very handy for families with younger kids because McDonalds is right next door with the playground! The Motel was well stocked with everything we needed and a full kitchen. The rooms are small but everything you need is there. Great attention to detail.
