The location is a short walk from the town center, and convenient for our day trip to Abel Tasman National Park. The room was comfortable, clean and roomy with a nice outdoor seating area. Check-in and out communication was clear and the staff were friendly. Parking was convenient.

Stacie was so helpful. We dropped off our suitcases and left a few items in the room fridge around 10 on the day of arrival. She then gave us suggestions on how to spend the day around Upper Moutere.

Was met with a very friendly owner when we arrived. Great that he has the facilities for - and offers - complimentary charging your car. My rental did not have the type 2 charging cable on board, so he provided us with one. The room was large, clean and comfy, beds also very nice. The motel is easy to be reached. Recommended, for sure.

The room was very clean with nice little touches like a bottle of milk in the fridge and biscuits for tea. The location was great and close to a lot of amenities, including a short drive to the beach. We loved our stay here.
