"Very comfortable stay - thank you"

9.0

Really impressed to find the communal kitchen and supplies for hot drinks and cereal for the morning - thank you! Room was small but very well set up, everything we needed and very clean and comfortable. We got in a bit late and it was very smooth to come in and find our key waiting on the counter.

nothing - everything was nicely done

"Friendly and homely, A+."

8.0

Super nice and helpful young Lady checked me in, much appreciated. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast supplied was super nice with a large variety of chooses. It was a comfortable stay!!!

I simply couldn't get the TV to work properly and sadly couldn't determine what remote to use, so I was stuck with only TV3.

We were here for maybe 10 hours but very surprising at the quality of room with this stay. One of the best roadside motels ive ever been to in terms of comfort. Large new bed, good qater pressure, clean, and nice soap. Easy check in/out and even though we showed up too late, a nice looking, lively, pub on site. Great stop on our road trip.

"A peaceful getaway"

9.0

A lovely boutique type motel, my stay was nice and peaceful, the bed was super comfy and good pressure in the shower, loved the outside garden, nice communal space and kitchen, well stocked with tea, coffee, milk, cereals and bread. Would definitely recommend. The adjoining restaurant was great too.

All great. Loved that there was a common room with breakfast provided if you wanted it. Comfy beds, shower water lovely & hot. Quiet. Dinner next door. Convenient location travelling from New Plymouth to Northland. Would stay again..

Nothing I didn't like.
