Carrina & Tony have created a wonderful relaxing space for clients to enjoy. The motel is away from the main road, so peaceful. The room we stayed in was clean and extremely comfortable. We looked out onto the golf course & it was lovely to relax outside & enjoy a coffee while reading a book in the sun. The bed was super comfy & I wanted to take it home with me. The motel is in easy walking distance from the township & an easy drive to the historic area. We will return. Thank you, Carrina, for accommodating us for an extra night.

Reception & Host were both exceptional, super friendly, people person, real down to earth top bloke. You just knew you were in good hands the moment you checked in. Room was more than what we expected, everything has been thought of including a cheese grater, pair of scissors, electric blankets, an amazing view and even a BBQ area with all the tools at your finger tips. Definitely a place for families & couples. Super warm, comfortable & quiet. Absolutely value for money. Not overpriced at all.

Only staying one night, wish we could have stayed longer but our travel timeline did not allow us to unfortunately

THE TIDYNESS, AND HENCE ATMOSPHERE UPON ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY WAS EXCEPTIONAL. STAFF WERE WELCOMING AND HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY AS WE HAD OUR BOAT. EVERYTHING INSIDE THE UNIT WAS UP TO SCRATCH AND MOST COMFORTABLE. SORRY WE WERE UNABLE TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU, BUT TAKE THIS AS OUR THANK-YOU, REX AFFLECK, GORE

The shower outlet is slow, and the toilet flusher jams, both which are manageable by us, but not necessarily some of your potential visitors. Thanks again, Rex Affleck

A most welcoming motel. Check in was a pleasure. The room was very spacious, with a patio door at the rear overlooking the golf course and the hills behind. A bench to sit on plus a picnic table allowed us to sit out to enjoy the evening sun and to watch the golfers. We walked to the water front and old town area - a 20 minute walk. The new town centre, including supermarket was 5 minutes away. The room was well equipped, and had aircon. I have scored as 9 as some of the decor is showing its age. I understand that the owners are new, and feel confident that given their enthusiasm, they will spruce up the rooms when necessary over the coming months. I’d certainly pick here again, and would recommend to others

Nothing. We are around half way through a 6 week tour of NZ, and this motel is one of the best so far.

We just booked on the day and arrived later in the evening. The room was ready for us with the heater going. This was a nice surprise and made my life with two kids a lot easier. Everything that you need was there, great little kitchen with cooking facilities, pots, cutlery, bowls, cups, toaster, microwave etc., lots of different teas, coffee, hot chocolate.. It was a great space with a queen bed and a single bed but also a little table and some comfy chairs. Everything was clean and well thought of. The staff was super friendly and the place had a great vibe. We would definitely stay again. Thank you

Room was adequate for 3 of us. Close walk into the town centre. Host was helpful with local knowledge.

Hot water is affected by other units running their taps. Each of us had to jump out of the shower on more than one occasion when someone in another unit turned on their cold water, resulting in our shower hot water being suddenly far too hot. Also, we had no hot water one evening for a few hours - could only have been due to other units using all the available hot water. Would have liked to have a heated towel rail in bathroom.

I would score them 11 if I could. Why? I travel a lot and have done so for many years. This is the first place that puts covers over your cars to protect from heavy frosts. I arrived back after 11.00 pm. seeing all the other cars covered, thinking I missed out. Yet, when I got up before 7.00am, there was my car covered. So thank you very much. You went way beyond expectations.

The accommodation was very good, clean and comfortable. The proprietor was outstanding, he went above and beyond what one would expect to help us in cleaning the interior of our car after a passenger was ill. His assistance in this was hugely appreciated. Thank you

Very friendly and welcoming staff with an adorable dog to greet us. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Easy to get to, but just out of the way that it was very quiet and pleasant to spend the night.

Was only there for one night and did not find anything to complain about.

A nice location. The unit was warm and comfortable. It was also quite spacious

The bathroom is very tired and in need of a makeover. Everything gets wet when you have a shower. The state of the bathroom realy detracts from what is otherwise a nice motel
