We were very surprised to find a lovely new complex on these grounds. This couple have set a high standard for other owners and operators to copy. Chattels of a very high standard, they went out of their way to help. Tariff excellent and gave recommendations for eating out you could trust. They also have taken the trouble to learn... More

Thank you for the most wondeful stay. Everything was perfect. Fantastic chattels and facilities. Highly exceeded expectations. I would have to say this would have to be the best motel we have ever stayed in.

We booked two nights here over Easter solely on TA reviews and we're pleased to say our expectations were exceeded. These guys won brownie points before we even got there by welcoming an early check-in at noon on the Saturday and the service from start to finish was great. As others have said, the road frontage/entrance is quite plain; this... More

GREAT motel. The lady was really friendly, and provided a great recommendation for dinner (Denniston Dog), brought us shortbread etc. fantastic water pressure, nice bathroom, really well appointed rooms. My only 'fault' is that it doesn't look much from the road, but don't let that put you off! A couple of us also travel for work frequently, and would look... More

I just checked into the Buller Court Motel and was immediatley confronted with a friendly smile and fantastic hospitality. That smile meant so much that I could forgive a multitude of motel faux pais; not that there were going to be any. My room was smallish but more than adequate for my needs. It was clean, tidy and furnished in... More

Stayed one night en route south. Small but pleasant studio with cooker, microwave etc. Friendly owner brought us filtered water, fresh milk and shortbread...much appreciated. He recommended Westport Motel just down the road for dinner. We were not disappointed. Studio had terrace and access to garden. Would recommend as stopover motel.

We stayed here for 2 nights in March 2012. The unit was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It also seemed to have a bit more charme than your average souless motel. Our hosts were helpful and pleasant. Would definitely recommend.

The unit was modern and clean. The bathroom is a high point, with a large corner spa bath. A TV in the master bedroom, as well as a large flat screen in the lounge. Plenty of space for our family. This place was the second most expensive place we stayed in the south Island, but was the nicest; the higher... More

Stayed here in September 2011 for two nights . Doesn't look like much from the road but was very nice inside and had been newly renovated. The owners are great they gave us shortbread (which was incredible). We were able to do some laundry and the wife of the owner even offered to fold it for us (we declined) but... More
