A genuinely warm NZ welcome.
Sadly it was only an overnight stop but the welcome was warm and hosts very helpful. The unit was one the most spacious and best designed we have stayed in. We fully recommend the motel and the town of Gore - a really friendly place with some quirky shops and delicious food.
