Our stay at the Red Tussock motel was definitely one of the accommodation highlights of a 2 weeks road trip around the South Island.

Property is dated but good view of the lake. Bathroom floor boards was uneven probably due to wear and tear. Bonus was the free unlimited wifi (only for 1 device each time though) which was great on my iPad for some entertainment. More
