Nice room, warm welcome.

Slightly dated but very clean, comfortable, well maintained and we had a very warm welcome. There isn't much to do location wise other than visit the beech, but we used the motel as an overnight stay travelling on to napier and it suited our needs perfectly

Great stop in Foxton, NZ

We stayed at home he Celtic Motel and enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Leslie met us at the front desk, showed us everything, and was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. We flet very comfortable and wished we had had more time in Foxton. When we checked out the next morning paul, Leslie's husband, gave us some great advice about a Sheryl side trip on the way to Wellington. We took his advice and enjoyed it very much. We would highly recommend the Celtic Motel when in Foxton, NZ. 10 out of 10 easily!
