Very nice little motor lodge. Very welcoming staff and very clean. Linen and furniture is a little tired, but aside from that it's a very good spot to spend the night between Wellington and Auckland

This was an average 3 star motel in a good location. The price was right! The bed was one of the worst I've slept on but the room was clean. You can hear your next door neighbours.

The bunk beds were so creaky I thought I was going to squash my friend sleeping on the bottom and the room smelt a bit weird, but other than that the bathrooms were all very clean and the reception lady was very nice
