Awful place
The room (unit 14) was as described but quite frankly was not clean. There were a large swarm of ants crawling over the bedside table on the second night. There were a myriad of dead fly's and other creatures in the light fitting and an enormous stain on the carpet in the room. Not really a place we would ever want to visit again.

There was nothing unique about the property. It was over priced for what it was and for the facilities. I must say the toilet paper was probably the worst I have ever struck obviously the cheapest on the market. Cleaning could do with a shake up as well as cobwebs on light fittings and windows and dusting and vacuuming behind side tables has not been attempted for a considerable time. The old now not in use blind fittings could be removed now as they are not in use

We really liked the property manager as she responded cheerfully to all our requests. Also it was one of the few motels in the area with air conditioning. The location was convenient to all of our activities. The only issue we had was the numbers on the parking spots were faded and hard to see which led to some confusion on where to park. Someone parked in our spot and we had to ask them to move.

My room booking was mucked up completely as I paid for a Spa room but got a River side, the web page had muddled up Room and payment so had to pay extra to get the room I asked for, Lucky there was a room available.

An absolutely wonderful stay. Room size was huge, guest book was a win. Loved that it had some everyday Te Reo, how to pronounce and use. Had other 'kiwi specific' language too. Timber used in construction of room was named , a beautiful touch. Attention to detail unsurpassed. Road noise is not unbearable nor the trains but if you require absolute silence to sleep you may struggle. Grounds were impeccable.
