Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to everyone. The staff are warm and welcoming and the cleaners are fantastic at their job. Whenever we had the door open, we were acknowledged by the staff or other guests walking past. The room was perfect, lots of space, smelt clean, was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Shops were a stones throw away, we didnt need a hire car or taxi to get around. We will most definitely be back, it felt like home! Thank you to the wonderful staff at this motel, we couldn't be happier with our stay.

I really appreciate the staff and service here. Originally I was going to stay from Thu 21st Dec 23 to Sun 24th Dec 23 for a family reunion on the east coast. This has been planned for 3 years but changed due to Covid. Anway dates settled, Marae booked for overseas people, motel etc has been set for past 6 months. 2 days before the start of the reunion a death happened which took precedence on the Marae. Spanner in the works and dates needed to slide by 24 hours. This motel did this without question. Fantastic.
