We stayed at 10 motels in NZ & this can be said of all of them: they are owner operated (not chains), spotlessly clean, contain refrigerator, microwave, TV, blow dryer, plenty of hot water & the beds are comfortable, but the rooms are on the small side. They have absolutely terrible in-room coffee. Expect to pay 30% more for comparable... More

As this motel was unrated we really didn’t know what to expect, but it was modern, clean and well equipped. It was not expensive and the provision of unlimited broadband at NZ$5 a night was very welcome. The owner was polite and helpful. More

We stayed in one of the new units and they were large modern and very good value for money. It is a very good location that is close to all... More
