Typical tired old Kiwi motel but with clean warm beds, heating, generous rooms with good friendly staff. Had all the gear to prepare a simple meal in kitchenette. Weak pressure shower with small hot water tank. Curtains short above sink so lots of light shining in at night into living area with second bed.

This is an old basic motel. Whilst the rooms had everything you needed, and were fairly clean, mattresses were terrible and we all had sore backs the next day with very little sleep.

La habitación era muy vieja y faltaba cambiar cortinas, camas, sabanas y sofas. Aunque no era notablemente sucia no dio la sensación de estar limpia. Las sofas tenia muchas manchas por ejemplo. Las cortinas tampoco cerraban bien.

No hassle parking the tractor outside. Solid concrete walls on unit endured a quiet night. Nice touch with the fresh half pint of milk in a sealed glass bottle that was offered. Very suiting for the area.
