Dannielle New Zealand

The location was great! Close to many of the tourist attractions we wanted to visit. We had dinner at the restaurant on site, and it was one of the best meals we enjoyed in New Zealand. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Janice United States of America

Staff were absolutely wonderful and super helpful throughout our stay. The room had everything we needed (including electric blankets and a heated towel rack). The property also has a laundry and a trout stream which is super cool. The owners also seem super keen to get feedback (as they are new) so this is a great sign.

Mallia1995 Australia

A quiet facility with most amenities. The grounds & gardens were exquisite.

Duncan United States of America

Very nice little motel. We had the two bedroom spa apartment. Nice joint living room area, kitchen and then two bedrooms both with ensuite. Private spa Jacuzzi outside the back on a small patio area, we didnt use it but it looked fine. Nice shared Pool/BBQ area outside, again didnt use it, but it was clean, tidy and water was heated (geothermal area).
