We loved that there were screens on the windows because we were able to leave our windows open and hear the beautiful birds without having to worry about bugs coming to join us. Really easy to get to town and a great sleep and a great shower. Thank you so much for having us from Canada ##### stacey Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Jan 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a quintessential NZ motel.We stayed with family members in a double cottage situation that was perfect for sharing meals etc.The cottages were spacious and had everything we needed.We didn't need to eat out if we didnt want to making our holiday more affordable. Sky TV and air conditioning were a plus.Other special touches included a welcome drink on arrival and daily cookies for our well stocked beverage station. Use of the pool and bbqs added to our stay. The surprise was the efficient, daily servicing of our cottages by very friendly staff.This doesn't even happen in some 5 star hotels now. We would not hesitate to recommend this motel and hope to be back for that laid back holiday feel in a typical NZ garden environment for familes or couples alike. ##### Chris Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Dec 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities All good.
