Mary was very helpful with great suggestions of things to do. She also gave me info on the ferry conditions and kept me updated. Room was very comfortable with small kitchen and separate bedroom. Had a laundry which was easy. Even had Netflix to use. Wifi was excellent. Walked everywhere, good shopping and eateries. Definitely recommend with very friendly staff. Michelle was available on the weekend to help with anything else. Lovely homey place to stay.

We had a great stay at Lugano motor lodge! Great location within walking distance to New World grocery, the Warehouse and the various dining places. The parking is easy and the lady at the front desk is super friendly and helpful! She even gave us a bottle of creamy milk for our coffee when we checked in. She stayed until 7pm till we finished our laundry. Across the lodge is the beautiful Seymour Square where we took a morning walk after breakfast before heading out. The room is clean with dishes microwave and a small fridge, convenient for housing our groceries. The bed is super comfortable and we had a good night rest. We recommend this place for safe, convenient and comfortable road trips in the South Island!
