Dated accommodation

OK for overnight stay. Decor is very dated and the outside view from our rook was towards a garage with a hole in the door. Bathroom was clean but old fittings and a shower box with a very thin curtain which we did not try. Very poor reception on the TV ran from a sat box which kept on breaking up.The heat pump came on during the night making the room so hot it woke us up and we were tempted to leave. No sign of the proprietor in the morning as we looked for some where to leave the key.

Basic 3 star motel. Reasonably clean and pretty quiet but not flash. Kitchenette available. Pillows were not comfortable and there were no spares but the mattress was okay. The room could do with a bit of a makeover to smarten up some things like the missing curtain hooks and the sluggish plumbing.

Excellent option

Traditional older NZ motel, with kitchen, separate living area and three-way bathroom. Very clean; outstanding service from friendly but unobtrusive management.
