We had a very enjoyable stay: friendly staff, very quiet room with no traffic noise. Clean room,comfortable bed and nice bathroom with high pressure shower. Wifi would have been useful plus a small jug, so we can refill the kettle as the bathroom sink is too small to fit the kettle under the tap.

The manager was so wonderful and helpful. I would recommend this motel to any travelers. It was centrally located to most of the sightseeing in the North Island, kiwi house, glow worm caves, geo thermal geysers, botanical gardens, shopping and places to eat. Our bed was very comfortable, the other 2 which the kids used were too soft for them so we took them back to their tiny house. Check in and check out was extremely easy. I give these accommodations a 10 plus.

The staff were lovely and welcoming. Good size units with comfy beds. pretty tidy and clean with everything you need. Easy location and quiet considering on the main road. Our kids were pretty excited to see the playground (trampoline & swings), unfortunately they looked like they were about to collapse & pretty dangerous. Would've been great if they were usable. Otherwise, lovely stay.

The property definitely needs renovations and upgrade. The kitcen is very outdated and the kitchen cupboard was dirty, and some of the utensils were oily and dirty. The lady at the reception was helpful and nice, and the bed was comfortable, but apart from that the rest of the room wasn't up to standard. The cost was $150.00 per day, and it wasn't worth the money you pay for. The shower recess was small, and you can’t adjust the shower head.

The staff was nice and friendly, however, the bed linen was dusty that we start to cough during the night. We were not able to use their swimming pool as they will open it at the time for our check out time. 11am - 9:30pm when it should be open in the morning before your visitor check out. Most of the time we are out to visit other tourist spot around the area and morning is the only time we will have time to use the pool to relax before we check out.
