We arrived quite late in Murchison and this was the first place we enquired at. Wonderful welcome , luxury accomodation at an excellent price. King size bed, tea and coffee making facilities. TV, large bathroom and marvellous shower. Next morning greeted by the resident dog, Sydney. Would certainly go back again. More

Tea, coffee (they provide you with freshly roasted and ground coffee on request) making facilities and utensils are in the room. There is a small pool too. Good quality... More

I wanted to stay in Murchison because, having passed through it in 2010, it struck me as the archetypal New Zealand country village. And so it proved to be - as far removed from the pace and stress of European life as a first-world village can be. But would there be somewhere decent to stay? This motel looked good on... More

We stopped here for one night on our way back to Christchurch with details from Lonely Planet. Not easy to spot as tucked away behing a cafe off the main street. Fantastic, spacious unit with the best bathroom and shower we had in all of our trip - even though we had stayed on one luxury hotel. The unit had... More

The room and bathroom were clean and spacious. The location was fine in a small town. It was a nice enough place, but well overpriced for a small town hotel. More

Service very poor, no milk of any kind available (I asked & was treated to a blank look) though room had poorly thought out but adequate tea/coffee facilities & the smallest fridge I've ever seen (couldn't even get 1 wine bottle in). Room was gigantic, but only seating, other than bed, was small loveseat & two dining chairs against the... More

These are nice, self contained units in down town Murchison. The motel is off the main street but easy wailking distance to the cafes and super market. It is a good launching point for the Nelson Lake region. More
