What guests think

Several guests appreciated small touches like recycling efforts, quality toiletries, and strong shower pressure. Minor gripes include a lack of shower shelving mentioned more than once, an adjustable shower head needed in one case, a noisy fan heater in one room, and a comment that parts of the property feel a bit old. Expect a straightforward, well run motel stay.

Everything is above the motel standard. They even provide wine glasses & heated towel rack. Very sweet of them to give you a small bottle of milk when check in, so that you can make tea / coffee immediately. It would be perfect if they’ve a small shelf inside the shower to put soap ! Bath gel.

Family had a great stay thank you. I’d left my toiletries at my previous hotel so the Huia products were amazing!! Great way to showcase NZ products. Like that you offer recycling bins and for rooms without a sink to wash the dishes used. Lovely staff
