“Great location, good kitchen facilities”
- • Leisure trip

- • Studio
- • Stayed 3 nights
The sound-proofing isn't great, but we found this was the case with most places we stayed in the South Island. Definitely expect to hear your neighbours. The bathroom also didn't drain properly, but they said we could ask for more towels if needed to mop up the mess.
I liked that you got milk on arrival so you could enjoy a real tea or coffee in the morning. It was also really helpful having a fridge and microwave etc. as the cafes in town are relatively pricey. The wifi was also really good and they weren't stingy with the vouchers either, which was helpful as we obviously had lost of photos to upload!

“It was adequte accommodation for our stay.”

- • Stayed 3 nights
There was no stove, only a microwave. The management gave us two bowls so I could cook. There were only 6 channels on the TV. The shower had no curtain, so the floor was wet and had to be wiped up after someone took a shower.
It was a good location. The beds were comfortable and kitchen adequate.

No tissues in Motel. Having to wash your own dishes and make bed at :$145. Per night .nothing of this was mentioned when booking or on arrival .Nothing in motel re local interests or restaurants .Not what we normally get . When we had a shower , the water covers most of the bathroom floor so we had to use shower mat to dry the floor due to the danger of slipping over .
Very comfy bed and warm .
