nice place and location. not really flash but just a nice place for the price.
New ZealandLoved our stay. Very friendly staff, location was close to everything and facilities were great. Even bought in a extra bed for our large family of 7
New ZealandVery clean and good location. Would stay there again
New ZealandComfortable beds, quiet and spotlessly clean. An oldie but a goodie, would recommend.
New ZealandLocation was great for walking to town and biking the boardwalk.
New ZealandThe beautiful location near the river and also easy access to the property and staff. The room was spic and span with linens, towels and a fully kitted kitchen. The space was great, my kids enjoyed the space and had a good roll around on the floor after the long day of sitting in the car. The staff were wonderful and easy to get hold of. Checking in and out was a breeze.
New ZealandThe beds were very comfortable. Shower great size and nice new basin with quality tap. Great location in centre but overlooking the river. Friendly owner. And easy parking right outside motel door
New ZealandThe manager was very accommodating by allowing us to check in after 10pm. We were on a motorcycle endurance ride and could just walk in and sleep. It is also close to takeaways and fuel stops,
New ZealandAlthough the parking was cluttered. We were still able to park our vehicle and able to drive out from the Motel
New ZealandVery clean and plenty good facilities.The cats were a bonus.
