        Needed extra blankets for the cold weather, and unit needed windows closed and warmed before nite air cooled the unit down ,as we arrived at 6 pm , would have appreciated that, as we were elderly. And office staff knew our needs. Make a policy to close windows in winter after 3 pm . Make it cosy for older ones. Thanks.

        Staff were lovely. We arrived early. Room 3 ready clean cosy and comfortable. Furnishings are well used but tidy. Spa was not available for use. Water pipes a bit cranky. Great location but not noisy from traffic. Extra wide carpark right outside the door. Have seen negative comments in reviews but for us it was just fine. The slider to back garden and outdoor furniture was nice under the trees as it was hot. Def not five star but all good.

        Young boy on reception was friendly, good location, room was clean. However could hear absolutely every nose from the rooms next door including when they showered, went to the toilet and loud snoring all night long (not that that was the fault of the accommodation provider) but sound proofing upgrades would be ideal. Worse sleep we had on our 10 night trip staying at 7 locations.

        Stay wasn't too bad overall. Cheap room, Staff very nice and cleaning was spot on. Great spot near town. Downside was the very paper-thin walls and deteriorating finish of the rooms. Don't expect to get too much sleep. Wouldn't go again personally but may work for some.

        The room could have been a bit cleaner, the vinyl areas were a little dirty as was the carpet. A previous guest had left a half pack of butter in the microwave. The owner did apologise to be fair. However to be honest we also left items in the fridge but did call and alert the owner of our error. Nonetheless it was a pleasant stay and certainly recommendable.

        Family of 4, we stayed 5 nights. Good location as it's close to shops. It is definitely a budget accommodation, do not let the photos fool you - if you're looking at 5star, this is NOT it. Probably only good for overnight stay. 1) Room is spacious. Beds are ok. Not hard, not soft. The Sony TV is Probably the only up to date thing in the room - comes with sky, but there were technical issues twice while we were there, so had nothing to watch for two nights. Everything else is old. Definitely need to replace the stained bed covers. Wifi is not bad, not fast but not slow either. It won't work with Chrome cast or playstation (we had ours) you'll have to ask manager to come connect your devices. 2) Kitchen space is all good. Oven is old. The grill option didn't work. We only used top element to boil water because our Kettle was rusty. Please replace that also, not a good thing to have in room, I hope nobody uses that, yikes. 3) Bathroom/Toilet: Had one minor flood issue with toilet that the manager fixed. Shower & basin algd. 4) There's no daily housekeeping. You have to ask them for towels & clear your own rubbish. Annoying if staying for long. 5) only 1 car space per room, if you're travelling with two vehicles, one must park at entrance. 6) Not much of a garden view from our room, & the spa room is not even open to tenants, looks like a storage room with rubbish in it. Heating is just a old stand heater. They need to replace the dryer in there, filter looks clogged. Also need to clean the air vents in kitchen. Shelves in kitchen pantry were sticky, & the carpets need a clean, lots of dust behind beds. Note: afew motel rooms accommodate for Kainga Ora clients, which is not a problem, but my partner was bombarded on arrival from one of the residents who was trying to sell him some goods. He was approached again whilst tryna settle into our room & after kindly declining his sale, we just gave him $100 to help him out, so just a heads up, there are long term

        Very clean room although very dated. Motel exterior and surrounds was very grotty. People hanging around doorways smoking and Manager didn't understand my query about WINZ people staying. Wouldn't go back if we had a choice

Maybe if you like feeling you are in a campground this is this is the place for you.

        Warning - do not stay here ”

        The room was dirty, in really poor condition and smelt like cigarettes. Not long after settling into the room, we heard a massive domestic coming from a room above ours. The police arrived not long after. We realised that the motel provided emergency and temporary housing. We didn’t feel comfortable to stay there so we left. If you are looking for a clean and relaxing place to stay, this is not the place for you.
