“Kind and understanding owner of a decent (albeit not amazing) motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011

I stayed at this motel while searching for a residence after relocating to Wellington. While the staff member I greeted upon arrival was somewhat difficult, the owner himself was extremely understanding of my situation and went out of his way to help make my transition easier with flexibility about my length of stay. He was also frank and helpful about the wireless internet: reception wasn't amazing from my unit, but could be alleviated by using it close to the door (he was actually right).

The rooms themselves (at least the one I had) are very good, spacious and comfortable, but not (and not close to) luxurious or outstanding. Service and amenities (except wireless internet access) are also very good. If you have money to spare then it's probably quite possible to find a more expensive one that is more comfortable. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my stay here and would certainly recommend this motel if you are on a relative budget or are looking for value for money.

“Do not judge by its cover”

From the outside, it does not look like much, but the rooms themselves are quite attractive and roomy. Also well supplied with all what you would expect.
Good location for either exploring further afield in both the Hutt Valley direction and Wellington City itself. You do not even have to use the car, Great place to stop over before catching the ferry, with access to the motorway virtually next door.

“Clean, comfortable and convenient.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2010

Stayed here for 1 night only as we were catching the ferry to Picton, South Island the following morning.

Good location as it's only 7 or 8 minutes drive to the ferry terminal or maybe 10 mins from Wellington central. There is a good selection of eating places within a few minutes walk.

Motel itself was clean and comfortable and the owner friendly, but somehow the place just lacked a little bit of spark to make it a cut above the rest.

Would recommend and would stay here again.

“Very Clean”

We found unit 21 spotless and well equipped with electric blankets, 2 beds and a very clean shower, great tv and sky channels, a well priced unit close to super market and the information folder in the room has had a lot of effort put in to it.The cooked breakfast delivered to the door was great value and well done. We will stay again. It is so nice to stay some where which is presented with pride.
