What guests think

At Elliotts Kapiti Coast Motor Lodge, guests frequently praise clean, spacious, quiet rooms and amenities, with many appreciating in‑room spa baths and thoughtful touches like bottled water, plus a convenient location close to the train station and shops.

Service is often friendly and accommodating, with personal help such as laundry and easy self check‑in, though several reviews report rude interactions or muddled communication at arrival. Room comfort is generally solid but mixed: some beds are hard or due replacement, parts of the decor feel dated, occasional noise from adjacent units occurs, and Wi‑Fi can be limited or unreliable. Onsite parking is available but can be tight, and a few guests noted maintenance or safety issues in bathrooms or spa baths. Expect a good‑value, well‑located stay with simple comforts and a few possible rough edges.

Great place to stay. Good cooking facilities, had Sky TV for formula 1. Asked about laundry and one of the cleaners just said give it to me, ill do it and put it back in your room when its done, a great service.

I loved the little extra touches at this motor lodge, like the electric blankets, bottles of water in the fridge and a decent number of hot chocolate sachets for non-tea and coffee drinkers. There was a spa bath too which we didn’t use but it elevated the room above your usual motor lodge. We arrived quite late at night, after reception closed, but they had a nifty screen where you type in your name and phone number and your room key pops out. Made it really easy to stay no matter what time you arrive. Even though it was close to a main road we didn’t hear one single car. I was kept awake though from the person in the unit above thumping around like an elephant at all hours of the night, so if you’re susceptible to noise like me I recommend booking an upstairs unit so you don’t hear heavy footsteps above you. All in all a great place to stay.

Great value for money. Housekeeping came in daily and replaced dirty crockery, made bed etc. just across the road From train station and bus stops so easy commute into Wellington. Beds comfy, spa bath a bonus, nice outdoor area to sit in the sun. Very quiet, spacious room.

The motel studio unit was modern, clean, and quiet, but there are no cooking facilities. The check-in was very muddled. My friend arrived before me at 5:30 to check in while the office was supposed to be open. The office was in fact closed by then so he used the self check-in facility instead. At 6:30 I received the 3rd phone call of the day from the motel while still in transit, this time asking where my friend was! It was all a bit patience-testing.

We liked most things especially the spa bath, and also the offer of doing a small amount of washing for free. Also very handy to train station. The one slight downside was parking it was a bit of a squeeze particularly with a ute.

Good location, room was ok, booked as it had a jetted spa bath - when I turned the jets on, it filled up with little brown bits (from unclean jets)....disappointing. Emailed the motor lodge before doing this review but had no reply.

Dated rooms and bed was lumpy. Room was tidy and no obvious dirtiness to note. Water in the fridge was a nice touch. Receptionist was un-necessarily inquisitive when seeking specific details for arrival times. Seemed there was not the flexibility to arrive “any time after 2”. Perhaps that’s there policy however not stated in the Expedia page.

We had booked a room with a spa bath and we went to use it, it didn't work, you could hear the motor trying to work but it didn't pump the water. When we called the manger about it, he didn't seem to interested and we were offered any discount for the inconvenience.

Very convenient for Coastlands mall, shops, and eateries, with excellent access to train and bus links to Wellington and the expressway. Despite proximity to a main road and rail, many found it quiet; nearby roadworks briefly made walking harder.

The only unfortunate part of the stay was the roadworks outside the motel on the old main road. This made it difficult to walk anywhere. The motel itself was quite and avery nice room. We enjoyed the spa bath. Great stay.
