Excellent modern motel close to town centre with a New World across the road for convenience. Quiet location despite it being on the corner of a main road. The one bedroom apartment we had was very clean, well stocked with kitchen items (plus comes with hob and microwave) and a tv in lounge and bedroom. Bed was firm and comfy. Superb housekeeping services! The resident cat, Rupert is welcoming too! Highly recommend to stay.

Kelval, New Zealand

Great room, and we especially liked Rupert, the hotel’s resident cat!

Linda, United States of America

The rooms are an appartment style, with a living room/kitchen, larger bedroom and bathroom.

Steven, Australia

The room was spacious and super clean. Also staff were amazing with having my room ready so soon :)

Kayla, New Zealand

The room was spotless and the checkin easy. The motel manager was easy to deal with and I would definitely stay there again. Its close to town and no road noise.

Geoff, New Zealand

We arrived late, but had no problem checking in at the front. Thanks for staying up late to let us in!

Pass on the customer details from online booking to the motel. The customer then only has to confirm rather than having to write it all out again.

The road noise was really bad - with a train coming thru at 3.45am - not sure what can be done about the continual truck and trailers going throughout the night. Maybe some noise buffer fencing needs to be put in.
Location was good. Property was great with plenty of room and good parking. Really liked the property and room we had. Friendly cat !!

Very disapointed in our room .We were there for 2 nights for a family wedding which had been booked by my cousin months ago several rooms had been booked. We had the disabled unit for 2 nights very small. No dressing table all our bags had to go on the floor . No arm chairs. No dishwasher. No where to put my toiletries in the bathroom. All in all had to watch TV from the bed .
never had breakfast
