Very friendly staff. Close to ferry terminal. Generally clean and tidy, but there was some mould on window frames in the bedrooms. This was a stand-alone family unit that had good facilities for a family of 5 or 6.

Let the sun shine on!

Nice motel at a very reasonable price for one traveller. Restaurants very close at hand. Room had a wet room, always an advantage! Ferries to watch along with cruise liners plus the Marlborough vineyards just 30km away for tasting and dining

The loft was a nice feature for families. The only reason for not getting five stars was a bit of a musty smell. Convenient walk to restaurants and a grocery.
