What guests think

At Bassingers Motor Lodge, travellers highlight spacious, clean rooms and friendly, accommodating staff, with convenient SH1 access and parking, making it a practical stopover for Levin or ferry trips despite some drawbacks noted across stays.

After-hours check-in is easy, and practical touches such as kitchenettes and Netflix add convenience. Overall, expect a functional, value-oriented stopover.

Late check-in, key under mat as proposed. Room cold and heater was very slow to warm. Thought it was broken but did warm up after 30 mins. Sheets crisp and clean but big stain in the middle of the bed spread. Bath had hair in ( photo taken if you need to see) Bed on casters so moved away from wall if sitting in bed as no headboard and no bedside lights. Down light ok. Wifi connected well.

Spacious room. Much more noisy than I realized- some traffic noise but the trains roar by every 2-3 hours ( or feels like it as it was difficult to keep a track of the regularity through the night) so very disrupted sleep!

The pillows were very uncomfortable, and only 2 thick pillows. It would be good to have a thick and thin pillow on a bed to accommodate various peoples likes. The bed was comfortable, and room nice and clean. The little milk seches area inadequate when paying good money to stay somewhere. No shower mat provided. Very noisy with the train at room level 3 times during the night.
