The motel is old, beyong repair. The shower cabin was broken, the light in the bathroom did not worked well. You swicth on and after a random time it works then stop again and so on. The price is cheaper than other motels but still this is not a good value.

Clean and did the job for an overnight stop. Could do with a bit of an upgrade in some areas. Our fridge door wouldn’t close properly leaving water on the floor and our food and drinks not as cold as they should be. The shower pressure was very low and it was near impossible to get the temperature right. It was either freezing cold or scalding hot and the bathroom heater fan didn’t work.

A great motel option when staying in Westport. Off the main road (just a block over) so much quieter than motels on the main road. Safe, clean, lovely host

Great accommodation with everything you need. Super clean. Good space with dining table and seats outside too. Good size TV and nice bbq area. For us, we needed thicker curtains - too light inside during night.

Buller Bridge Motel was perfect and offered every single thing that was on our 'want list' when looking for accommodation - ensuite bathroom / kitchen which included microwave as well as normal oven with elements and an extremely comfy kingsize bed. Our room was spotlessly clean and the motelier friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend Buller Bridge Motel if you are in the Westport area.
