We chose this motel for its convenient location to family in rest home and the river for walking. We chose to cancel our booking the evening that we arrived. The owner still charged our card for entire booked period even though we asked them not to, we would pay cash for the 2 nights required for the cancellation policy to avoid the international fees on our cc. The room was not pleasant. Carpet was sticky and room smelled, pillows were old and horrible, kitchenette items were not clean, blinds in bathroom were filthy, blinds in the entry (being glass walls and windows) were broken and did not operate - no privacy, other people sat on our individual entrance porch and smoked!! This stay was not a pleasant experience. Fees for the transaction charged were not refunded. Then they accused us of taking a pillow.

Highly recomended.

On arrivel the staff were very helpful i needed to use a cpap machine and was upgraded to a suite which was exellent.I had a car but you could walk through the park by the main entrance across the river bridge to a very nice place for drinks and dinner. Food vas very good. All shops are close. Although the main road was close with the patio doors shut i heard no road noise at all. The hotel alos has a function room. I'm from the uk and have been traveling around the north Island for six weeks,staying in different places every couple days. Would highly recomend. I am a 67 year old male solo travaler.

Stayed in the Pukeko Suite, it was cute, clean and comfortable. The property looks abit tired, some areas could do with a lick of paint and tidy up. Other than that it was reasonably priced.

Clean rooms, left to do our thing, plenty of space and lawns around the complex and being a little distant from town is not an issue.

The room was warm & clean. Very good value for money. Would be good to have a small hot plate in addition to a microwave. Shower excellent - large & excellent flow. Clean comfy bed. Some electrical fittings need attention, safety hazard - electric blanket control had exposed wires, taped up. Broken / Loose power points. Great outdoor setting & facilities.

It is a well placed motel right across the road from the river. The staff were very helpful. It was extremely clean. I liked the little additions that give it character .e.g. The lovely big light shade in the main bedroom, and a heater. The motel is painted a dark charcoal colour, but don't be put off by that as the staff are extremely helpful, and the suites are well presented.
