Top Inner City Hotel Reviews

Kowhai motel

Kowhai motel

10/10 Excellent
"Big but old rooms. Everything was in immaculate state, but windows were old. I think, it could be cold in winters, however, there's a heatpump in the unit. In any case, I stayed during the summer, and my stay was perfect! The heated swimming pool is amazing, two hot mineral pools are awesome. There's a good laundry for guests, got my clothes clean and dry very quickly. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I truly appreciate their cincere effort to make my stay with them comfortable."
