"Auf der Reise durch die Südinsel kann man hier gut und recht preiswert übernachten."

8.0

Die Betten waren frisch und rochen gut. Das Motel ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber soweit alles OK. Es hat auch 2 Waschmaschinen und 3 Trockner, die alle funktioniert haben. Die Reception hat lange Öffnungszeiten. Das Frühstück im Restaurant bietet alles was man wünscht. Für eine Übernachtung auf der Reise durch die Südinsel soweit alles i.O.

"The restaurant experience left a bad taste in our mouths."

5.0

Nice room and views

Restaurant meal was appalling. We ordered vegetable soup of the day and a crusty roll. I’m convinced it was packet or canned soup (not a vegetable to be seen and so watery it was translucent) and the roll was two finger size slices of bread. It was expensive too.

"Locatie pastte precies in onze planning (afstand)."

8.0

Prima kamer, goed bed.

Bijna verplicht om buiten de deur te ontbijten (een zwaar NZ ontbijt wil je niet iedere dag eten). Geen mes of bord in de kamer om yoghurt en fruit zelf klaar te maken.
