“Fantastic, have booked to return already !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011

Booked at Valdez over the net, & was a little apprehensive, ( especially after reading previous reviews on T.A), but upon arrival, was immediately impressed by the great ambience of the Property, but more so by the lovely welcome from the Owners. The Unit was clean, spacious & very well appointed. We stayed for 9 days & I cannot reccomend the Property highly enough, the Service from the Housekeeping staff was outstanding, & as mentioned the Owners were lovely, very helpful, but unobtrusive. Valdez is the perfect base for a holiday or business in Hastings,, it is within walking distance of Town & close to all the tourist spots.

“You won't do better”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

We arrived at Valdez after a long trip and with one of us feeling unwell. Our hosts went out of their way to make us comfortable and sought medical help on our behalf, which was much appreciated. We have travelled widely but have never stayed at a better appointed or cleaner establishment. We would highly recommend Valdez to anyone. Thanks Warwick and Judy. Keep up the good work.

“Zoned for comfort, kids & a relaxing holiday”

What a wonderfull holiday we had as a family recently in Hastings. A great location at the Valdez motorlodge close to town and numerous fun activites for our family. Lovely venue with welcoming and very abliging hosts who spent time with us looking for activities to amuse our children over the four days we spent in Hastings. With a great knowledge of their city our hosts were able to provide us with some great advice on places to check out in the Bay. Then after big days exploring it was wonderfull to go back to a comfortable, clean, welcoming environment. To a motel room that has all the comforts needed and more at such a competitive rate. All and all a really great holiday we cant wait to go back hopefully in the summertime so the kids can take more advantage of the motels gorgeous looking pool and visit splash planet which is just down the road.
