The motel is a bit dated. The room was so hot even with the heater on the lowest setting. We had to get up in the night and keep opening the door to let so heat out. The location is good - right across from the dark sky project and beach. The playground has a fun zip line for adults and kids. The huge complaint is the price of food. Some examples, $25 NZD for eggs and bacon, $32 NZD for a bowl a ramen?! There is a four square so I suggest picking up what you can there. If I went back, I would only get a room with a kitchenette to cook meals.

This was a spot for a night stop over. We arrived at 1805 and the sign said the office closes at 1800. They left a key but no lights on the way to our room. We had to use a flashlight to unlock the room while carrying our bags. The room had a bad smell which may have been a new carpet but something like BO. Never interacted with staff. The free breakfast was worth the price. The village was not that nice. We moved on right after breakfast.

A 1990’s relic
The location was convenient being walking distance to all the major attractions and shops. The room felt very dated and could do with upgrades throughout. The view onto the lake was great but we had to carry our luggage up and down two flights of stairs when it was icy and wet. The room had a thin glass door that didn’t block out the noise nor street lighting from outside. It wasn’t very good value for money overall.
