Aotea Motor Lodge

Aotea Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Great motor lodge, close to the middle of the city. The only negative was that for the price, it should have had at least king size beds as the rooms have ample space for a larger bed."

Riverview Motel

Riverview Motel

8/10 Good
"Great location but not a happy reason for staying- I was pallbearer at my partners funeral, which was at the very nearby funeral home. Very handy to the city where my friend (who had brought me up from Kapiti) and I had dinner on the Sunday night. Good parking right by our rooms. Very friendly, helpful reception staff member. Good amenities- mine recently refurbished I think. Excellent colour choice for decor and a very comfortable bed. Thank you."
