to get started.

Friendly people, nice cute place, large room with an ok kitchen.

Amy, Canada

Great location - Manager was helpful and very obliging

Frances, New Zealand

Pleasant surroundings next to the river. Quiet. Very comfortable with friendly helpful staff.

Linda, New Zealand

While it was an older motel it was very comfortable and very clean. Close to town.

Jan, Tonga

The owner was very good, nothing was a hassel for him. We were a couple of adult sports teams and he was great at helping to config the rooms to accomodate the mixed of males, females & couples. He got all our uniforms washed & dry back to our managers door early each morning. It wasn't the flashes of places, but it was value for money and worked well for us. We didn't spend much time other than sleeping there as we were playing games from 8am - 7pm. Parking wasn't a problem either. Easy walking distance to town centre even for our old sore tired bodies!

Shellie, New Zealand

All good You didn’t happen to find a silver earring in bedroom??

Diana, New Zealand

Next to the river. Nice big unit that you couldn’t hear your nabour through the wall.

Kevin, New Zealand

The 1 bedroomed unit was very well equipped, including an electric cooker and plenty of utensils. We had a separate living room, kitchen and bedroom. A bright sheltered area was available outside with a barbecue. The manager happily supplied extra kitchen items on request.

Chris, Netherlands

The cleanliness. The location. But wouldn't recommend.

Linda, New Zealand

Clean tidy and comfortable. Close to where we needed to be and at reasonable price. Would stay again

An Inside Look at Riverside Motel

Built in the mid 1970’s in a Spanish design of concrete arches and stucco-plaster, Riverside Motel boasts of the slightly older style luxury of space, not afforded to a number of more modern establishments. The rooms are all spacious and comfortable and all connect to reception via a covered and sheltered walkway/seating area. Ample carparking and play areas for the younger guests.
