The bed was great. The sheets and the towels were of good quality. The water in the shower a trickle. There were hairs and dirty water tracks on the shower wall. The handbasin was in the kitchen, not in the bathroom.

It's an alright place to stay. But I think with bnb you'll get a better deal.

Nice Motel. Walking distance to shops and cafes. Main room was nice, shower could do with an upgrade. Shower head could not extend high enough for me. Secured WiFi. Make sure to take note of where the light switches are. They are in odd places and hard to find in the night.

Lovely place to stay. Good value for money. A lovely couple who run it. Very helpful people. Although the rooms are dated. The bathroom was very dated and could benefit from an upgrade. Had a nice stay when we stayed here. Would stay again.

One of the cutest and well equiped motels we have discovered in NZ so far. The owner is very helpful, nice and funny. The rooms are very clean and provide the necessary level of luxury. Bed is comfortable and has new bed sheets. Complimentary milk and cookies are a small gesture but it is so nice amd thoughtful! Some people commented that the bathrooms are not clean: I cannot agree with that!

Very clean, very tidy rooms. Great for a one night stay, however I would not recommend staying for longer than one or two nights. No air-conditioning, no fan to cool off, no sky TV, tap water taste terrible and the free wifi gets shut down at night. No cooking vacillaties but a microwave is provided, and only a short stroll to the town center with an excellent Thai restaurant a minute walk from your room.
