What guests think

Several guests enjoyed the pool, though one found it unavailable in the morning, and feedback on in-room spa baths was mixed, with one praising a large tub and another reporting the spa function did not work. Recent refurbishments and modern upgrades are noted, and several guests felt the property offered good value for money. Isolated downsides mentioned include very firm beds in one unit, minor room layout quirks and a report of outside noise, and a wish for an on-site light breakfast option. Expect a straightforward, comfortable stopover in Ashburton.

Great place to stay. However, we booked our room based on pictures of a large spa bath. The spa did not worked and when asked, were told they are not sold as spa units and they might work one day and not the next. Ours did not work as a spa bath at all.

Very clean motel unit on Ashburtons main street, handy to both town, Domain and Aviation centre. The 2 bedroom unit was comfortable for 4 people, shower had hood pressure and there was adequate cooking facilities. Only negative was the extremely hard beds, we all woke with very sore backs.

This was our first accommodation in New Zealand and we were really impressed by the comfort, cleaniness and spaciousness of the apartment. The beds were comfortable, nice shower, complete kitchen and far enough from the road to not hear the passing traffic. Owners were super friendly as well when we overslept and requested for a later check out.

Two things, I would have liked to see. .1. The option of having a light breakfast, without having to go out and buying it. .2. I have found in my tripping around around the last week and staying in different places, no one had a folder of emergency numbers, recommended places to eat, and recommended places to visit to me, those folders were part of customer service .
