The owner made us feel home. Checkout is at 10am but she allowed us to stay as long as we wanted. This was an absolute jackpot as we could finally sleep in. Can't thank her enough for that. She was happy to have a chat about our trip. She helped with information about the country, weather, best restaurants. We booked late evening for the same day, this was the only place still allowed bookings in the area. We got a room with everything new, it was recently renovated. The bed was great, nice calm location to have a stop over.

It is a great location, very helpful and friendly staff. The kitchenette was good with everything we needed (we did cook there as we stayed several nights). We found the rooms quiet, with little noise from any of the other guests. There is a nice seating area round the back with barbecue, but we didn't use it on our stay.

The room description as having "air-conditioning" is slightly misleading. There is indeed a good ceiling fan, and a wall heater, but there isn't what we would call an air-conditioner. The room is quite cosy, must be nice and warm in winter, but in the mid-summer heat it does get very hot inside and a real air-conditioner would make it more comfortable. The staff were very helpful when we asked for provisions, but the daily room service didn't do simple things like re-stocking the tea/coffee supplies.

First arrival I met the manager, she had already communicated online how I can access the room as I’ll be arriving after hours. It’s clean and had all I needed. I chose this place based on the positive reviews and it sure did meet my standards. The bed also was amazing! Slept so good for my drive out of town. Local Mc ds made it easy for dinner and next day coffee. Was clean, roomy and felt safe. I’d recommend this stay to others on long trips for a simple no hassle stay.

Wish I could sleep the whole day in that bed! I had to check out.

I was visiting friends who lived nearby for 4 nights over the Christmas period. The room was very spacious and located in a quiet area away from the main block. Room 10. The bed was super comfy with good quality pillows. Bathroom had a large walk in shower / wet area. I enjoyed using the complimentary toiletries. Nice quality finishes and felt clean. There was a box of chocolates in my room, on my return to the Motel on Christmas day. A lovely thought. I thought there were laundry facilities for guests (after reading some reviews ) and enquired. I do not think there was this service after all, but they were willing for me to use their washing machine. The surrounding area is beautiful and hilly. Reminded me of the peak district in Derbyshire.

Filter coffee and caffitaire would haven been a great addition to the kitchenette.

Nice location. I wasn’t expecting a lot as this was a last minute booking we made and a bit further to where we intend to ho the next day. Staff were friendly and our room smell great and very clean. The room layout is really family friendly, beds are comfortable (I might need to ring to know the brand and type as we like it that much). Our kids wants to stay longer so we are definitely going back.

very comfortable bed lovely shower nice and clean, and tea and coffee replenished on our second day. Overall a very nice stay.

BEING WOKEN UP AT 6AM BY another motel user because his work truck had been blocked in, it wasn't our car blocking him in. We booked the room for two nights so watching tv was very uncomfortable there are no armchairs or sofas to sit on. We do not like sitting on a bed to watch tv. The kitchen chairs were no nice to sit on for long time.

The owner Trisha was absolutely lovely and beyond helpful. I had to stay here due to breaking down around the corner and I wasn’t able to get home for the night. She offered to take me to the local takeaway to pick me up some food as I hadn’t eaten all day and she organised someone to take me home to Tauranga the next day without me even asking. The room was a great size, had a full kitchenette, a comfy bed and an outside smoking area. Everything was spotlessly clean. Thank you for all your help😄

It has been recently renovated and even though it still has the same cabinetry, etc. it has all been done up nicely. There are new utensils in the Kitchenette, nice shampoo and body wash available. The place was clean and comfortable. The location is convenient, as it’s close but not too close to the main road so it’s very quiet.

Not much parking available so we had to park on the grass.

The friendly receptionist. Comfy beds. Our whole motorbike was able to stay together at the one motel. Over all excellent value for money.

The water in the shower went cold when the 2nd person had one. 1st person was in shower for about 10 mins. The room had a smell in it when we first went in there so had to open back door and windows.

The beds were very comfortable. We had 2 rooms, one with ac and one without. The owner let us move to a room with ac for the second bedroom for our 2nd night there. It was nice to have that accommodation, and we were grateful for the flexibility. I have it a 9 out of 10 for the first hour night. It would have been nice if there had been ac in every room.
