    The hole in the ceiling.

    We all enjoyed our stay however there was a manhole open which initially gave us a fright. There had been a leak in the roof so it was airing out.

    The room was slightly dark because it was overshadowed by the other block. It didnt really bother us as we were out a lot of the time but you did need the lights on in the living area.

    My friend and I travelled to Hawkes Bay for the Art Deco festival and stayed at Te Mata Lodge. We loved the stay at the motel, it was far better than I expected. The two-room apartment was roomy, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was extra large. We really liked that the motel room was serviced every day; many accommodation providers no longer do this. We were at the back of the complex so it was nice and quiet. And the service was very nice as well.

    Fantastic location, straight across the road from all restaurants, supermarket and shops. Room was spacious and very clean. Air conditioner was a god send, albeit a little noisy. Bonus was an EV charger (they have two) available at no cost. Great customer service. Fay was super friendly and helpful.

    Only thing we didn't like was the sudden noise coming from the AC unit. Kept going intermittently throughout our stay, sounded like a motor.

    Our host was very lovely and accommodating! Rooms were clean and well maintained. It's actually better than some hotels we've been in. Location is great!
