The area was very sketchy and unsafe, definitely did not match the online photos. There was a man out front digging through the back of his car who stared at my sister and I, causing us to feel unsafe leaving the car unattended. I checked in and when she went to move the car he then blocked her path with his car and followed her until the motel lot, sitting in his car staring at her. We did not feel safe at all and immediately returned the keys and left to get away from that man. There also were cats all over the property and the pool was green, nothing about it seemed clean.

I loved that I could take my gentle dog there. I wasn't aware that they charge extra for the dog- I didn't see that when booking. I went to wipe up a little water spill, and the cloth was very dirty afterwards, so maybe not that clean.

This place is very very tired. Chipped plates dirty glasses. Mold in shower. Next door house noises all night. . Can hear people above showering. No one to check us in. Laundry not open. Very poor standard motel. The worst I have ever been in in NZ by a long way. Would stay clear of this place.

The property is old and run down. From the mould in the bathroom to the old faded brown duvet covers and the stains on the carpet it needs a complete overhaul. I would not stay there again.

I should have paid better attention to the photos. The condition of the room was more rundown than I expected. Furniture had that thrift store vibe. It wasn't dirty but there were dead bugs in the light fixtures, cobwebs in the bathroom lights, noticeable dust on fixtures, peeling wallpaper. It wasn't up to my standards and I checked out a night early.
