The rooms, although a little dated are clean and well equipped, and appear to be being gradually modernised over time. Staff are helpful and friendly. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Spencer Sep 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Owner was very pleasant and friendly.

No sink. No utensils other than knives, forks and spoons. Had to fill the kettle with a plastic jug as it wouldn't fit in the bathroom sink which was the only running water. Room was good other than that. We left something behing and the staff got it for us but when we called back in to pick it up at 4.30pm on a Friday it was closed with no staff on the premises. Got told they couldnt send it back, we could just call in next time we're going through. I would have been happy to pay for someone to send it back as i only go though waioru every few years but no. A bit dissapointed especially as i had organized to pick it up on Friday ##### Dustin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rohit Balkrishna Dec 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice statff and location ##### Rohit Balkrishna Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### colin Oct 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice motel.. ##### colin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Rachel Dec 22, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Average stay.
