“Excellent”

I couldn't understand why this hotel is only rating 9 of 12. Our family had a very pleasant time in here.

We stayed in a standard hotel room. Our room was spacious and bright. Bed was comfortable. Staffs are friendly. Free WiFi, free washing machine, free dryer and only one dollar for purchase laundry power. The breakfast was one of the best hotel buffet ones we have had. Would definitely recommend.

“2 Nights superb service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

This place has terrific service - front desk, breakfast, dinner, rooms, business centre assistance, and even free wifi (I forgot my ipad so had to use the business centre).
We stayed the first week of 2012 and even though most places were in holiday mode this place was not.
Our room although a little tired was clean and comfortable. The TV could be a little bigger and the decor modernised but all met our needs well. Lighting by the full length mirror could be better.
I highly recommend the breakfast: If it's quiet you get everything cooked fresh to order, busy and you have buffet with the choice of eggs cooked to order. What more could you ask for? Well done Coachman!

I stayed here a few nights ago, Wow, I have not had such a wonderful experience, the rooms were spotless, the housekeepers at the motel were so friendly and helpful, the food from the restaurant was divine. this establishment should be 5 star! Night Porter is cute!

I recently purchased two nights accommodation for the Coachman on Grab one. Was a bit worried when i read some of the reviews but turned out we had a very pleasent stay. The only fault with the room was that there is not enough lighting so the room was quite dark. Other than that couldn't fault it. Staff were also very friendly and helpfull

“Very pleasant - and with free WiFi!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2011

people found this review helpful

The food is good, the bar has a fair range, the staff are pleasant, the rooms are a reasonable size. The soap smells fab and the wallpaper joints are absolutely perfect!! And the concept of free WiFi is so staggeringly rare in New Zealand that finding it is unexpectedly delightful.

Room Tip: Hotel is posher than than motel.
