The property is around 47 km from Palmerston North Convention Centre, 26 km from HortResearch and 45 km from Massey University. The motel has family rooms. Location was fantastic, close to everything yet still quiet enough to get a good nights sleep. Clean, modern room, comfortable bed and shower facilities. Even loved the makeup towel, nice touch, as i hate leaving white towels with makeup on it. Amazing for the price we paid. Will use again.
