This motel, though a bit out-dated, was clean and comfortable for our family of 4 in a one-bedroom apartment. It was great to find a place to stay with our small dog with a garden right outside our door. The host was friendly and helpful. We could walk through the race course to Pukekura Park, which was lovely.

Great value for money and plenty of space for a family of four. Staff super friendly and helpful. Great location. A little bit tired, could use a bed upgrade and bathroom and kitchen upgrade, but fine for a one night stop over.

A great choice

We went to New Plymouth for our Easter break as we hadn’t been there before - it was great location - friendly helpful staff and we were able to take our dog which was wonderful ! Clean and comfortable but basic motel - we would definitely use again ! And it had an electric blanket !

Again the owner let me in earlier than the time stipulated. The room was very clean and tidy and the coffee and tea were plentiful. Very quiet and if i needed to no or needed anything it wasn't a problem to ask. Leaving a motel at the end of your stay is always 10am, at the saddle and sulky motel the owner let me stay as long as i needed to on the day i was leaving. They are so friendly and helpful that i will stay there again without a doubt. The bed is very comfortable and just to relax and watch TV there is an abundance of channels to choose from. Very very relaxing holiday. Thank you Tony.

Its location is excellent, close to town and Pukekura Park and easily accessible. The traffic noise was ever-present and would be more of a challenge during the week. But you can't be next to a main road and not have traffic noise, so it is a compromise
