Clean and comfortable but getting tired. Room was dark, needed more lighting particularly when trying to work at the desk. Secure, dry parking. Easy walk into the CBD where you will find lots of eating places and entertainment.

Very friendly and efficent staff, both at checkin and check out. Recently renovated room, very comfortable and quiet, nicely furnished. The only negatives I had were very minor. The spa pool was still being renovated and was closed. I slso prefer the Sky channels to the free ones in NZ, which wern't offered. The TV set however was fairly large and modern and logging on to streaming apps or chromecast with my credentials was very easy and that is what I did. Long story short, nice motel and very happy to recommend.

Great place to stay, close enough to walk to town. Clean and comfy although a bit dated and old but they are renovating. Would recommend letting people know when booking that you are renovating so they are aware. Pool and spa were not available for use (unclean). Staff were friendly and helpful.

The room was large , but a single bedside light in main bedroom , Shower was in a spa tub with slippery floor and access without hand holds . Noisy on Friday night and reception on arrival seem to be putout by our arrival ( 939pm ) . No hairdryer in room , which was remedied by staff . Bathroom had a single dressing gown , and no extraction fan .clean tidy functional but not luxurious
