Great location. Comfortable beds, good showers. Pleasant friendly owner. While this is a dog friendly motel which is great for those who have dogs I see in information that owners are charged $20 per dog - seems a lot if someone had 2 small dogs..

Great value

This hotel was cheaper than most we have stayed at in new zealand but the welcome was friendly and efficient, the room had everything you needed, the bed was comfortable and our room had a large balcony. Although on the road, we were not disturbed by any noise overnight. Overall a great value stay.
