What guests think

At Bavarian Motel, travellers report clean, spacious, good-value units, alongside recurring downsides like dated decor, traffic noise from the main road, variable heating that can leave rooms cold, and occasional housekeeping lapses or maintenance issues.

Many guests highlight helpful service and easy parking by units, plus useful on-site laundry and simple in-room kitchens. Several note it sits a short drive from town, suiting travelers with cars. Expect basic, budget-friendly comfort with some rough edges.

The motel was fine. Shared laundry area on site which was helpful, check in was easy. A bit older in style and didnt have proper heating, but oil heaters and extra blankets were provided in the room and it was warm enough. Limited cooking gear but enough to make basic food. It felt like housekeeping didnt really come in, and we did have to ask for clean towels as they hasnt been replaced, but overall it was not a bad stay

The amenities and spacious rooms for a budget motel were great. Beds were comfortable, kitchen (with microwave) was roomy, 2 TVs included in our 2 room apartment, with guest laundry facilities and ample bench space for luggage, carry bags etc. Traffic noise was not not intrusive and dissipated at night. For a basic, clean accommodation I would be happy to stay again.

Comfortable well priced accommodation. I was able to park right in front of my unit. The unit was very spacious with comfortable seating and an ok bed. Traffic was a little noisy early on but soon stopped. Heating was from 2 oil column heaters which were just adequate, possibly wouldn’t be enough on colder nights.

Check in was a breeze. They even went out of the way to set up the heater so it wouldn't be cold and also put milk in the fridge. Service was second to none. The room was rustic but in clean satisfactory condition. The stay was quiet. The internet was buggy and I had a hard time keeping a connection sometimes but it was workable. I also appreciated that they worked with me to facilitate a package coming to them that I was expecting from Auckland.

Arrived on Thursday 6th Feb late afternoon and was greeted by a man who could not speak much English, I tried to pay but he didnt understand and then after checking my Company Credit card found it had been charged through the booking platform which is quite inconvienient. The decor of the Unit was very dated and you could have timewarped back to the 70's, on a positive note, unit was clean and tidy, bed was comfortable, each unit had netflix but was sharing the same account.

The room had the facilities promised, but it's a tired shadow of what it could be. Everything needed cleaning and maintenance. We washed up and I tightened the handles on the saucepans BEFORE cooking. The curtains were torn and hung on too-few runners. I rehung them before we went to sleep to stop light coming in.

The motel is dated and a bit untidy. The bathroom floor needed cleaning, and the carpet and furniture was stained which made the room feel unclean. Outside areas were a bit tired. However, the room was quiet and a good size and the shower and appliances were good.

We had a premium apartment booked . The best part was free netflix and two televisions in lounge and toilet. But what we didnot like was dead spider on bed, toilets cleaned but not the corners of the shower. The areas are clean superficially but not well cleaned up. The motels are also usually very dusty and gave us allergic reactions

Rooms

Rooms are spacious and generally comfortable with simple kitchens, but decor and furnishings are dated and some beds or sofas need replacing. Road-facing units can be noisy, heating relies on portable heaters that may struggle in cold weather, and Wi-Fi can be patchy.

The state of the rooms was poor - the ceiling in the bathroom was dirty and need of repair. The bedroom window was cracked and need repair.

Lady was not present when I went to check in, when I called the number provided she was incredibly hard to understand and made me feel like I was inconveniencing her as she could not find my booking. Finally she told me a room number that she had left unlocked but then called me latter to ask what room I was in….. like what???
