A great place to stay for a value stay while traveling

9.0

We stayed here for a night enroute Auckland to Wellington and was exactly what we wanted for a good value overnight stay. The place had all we needed, was comfortable and clean. Location is fine for a stopover motel.

It’s wonderful for this price

9.0

Location is great, cafes, Takeaway and petrol station are nearby. Easy check in and out. It is a tiny home with everything inside, comfortable beds with clean bed cloths, even the towels are clean and fresh, not like some of the places got funny smell. kitchen with microwave, fridge freezer, toaster, stove top, kettle, and air fryer for convenience. Bathroom with essential soap and shampoo. We will be back next time.

heater is not strong enough at this cold days of the year, it took quite a while to warm the room up.
