Guest review
9.0− Would be great if electric blankets are provided
Excellent stay. Everything is needed.
8.0Excellent stay
quiet stay
8.0Spacious quiet room. Good kitchen facilities. Lots of parking.
− There was a smell in hte bathroom- possibnbly from the floor drain. As I was out all day and only used the bathroom as one would expect, it was manageable - I only reported it at check out. I am sure management would have done something if I had mentioned it earlier (I hope so)
The perfect NZ motel experience - very enjoyable!
10.0The motel was very well thought out and well equipped, super comfy bed, a mini kitchen with everything you need, a good heater and hot water, great location right in the centre of town, friendly helpful staff - it exceeded expectation!
A must stay venue, for closeness to the centre of town, very clean, great facilities and great value
9.0The location, comfort and available facilities
− Can’t fault anything
overall a very enjoyable experience for a very reasonable price.
8.0I loved the location. It was a very easy walk the the shops and Jetty yet far enough out to be peaceful and quiet. It was the best value for money, which I also like
− I was given a unit that was mostly shaded. That was not ideal for winter months but the fan heater coped. I loved the desk/table provided. It was Ideal for setting up my computer and still had room to eat a meal at. The drawback was the lack of power outlet to that desk. The nearest power points were on the other side of the bathroom door. This meant that the was a cable to step over Not a major but I think it could easily be remidied and that would be great.
