Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (10/5): - Quiet surroundings Comfortable bed Arrived late ..outside light on
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Booked a room there but did not arrive there till after 12pm, approaching the intercom asking about our booking only to be turned away. Disappointing knowing that we had travelled 11hrs only to do another 11hrs next day to be denied a room for a rest up. Not returning there ever again!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Room not booked as per arrangement - arrived with printed itinerary, only to find no room booked. Had come down to Family wedding , with relatives staying in other cottages only to be put in budget accommodation away from family and friends for the first night and told there may be nothing for the second night, apart from beds being set up in the conference area. Had to use communal bathroom facilities .Owners to full credit, admitted that they had made an error with the booking and they did their level best to rectify the problem. They were able to offer the same as above for the second night. Certainly took the gloss off the weekend.
• David (10/5): - Good motel clean with good facilities.
• Stuart (10/5): Lovely Individual Cottages - This is now our third stay at Cottage Park and we will be back. The individual cottages are roomy and comfortable with a separate bedroom and very quiet. They are a little dated but very clean and are serviced every day. Nice easy walk to all the factory shops and beyond. Excellent
• R (8/5): Units great - need working wifi (apparently coming - Unit very spacious, clean and tidy. My only gripe is the wifi didn't work - however the owners are apparently getting a new system. You may want to check this beforehand if having wifi is important. The units had air conditioning - which was much needed. However the conference facilities didn't - and it was also much needed. Again, if you are looking for conference facilities during summer you should check for air conditioning. It was nice the units were surrounded by trees. The owners/staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, I highly recommend Cottage Park.
• David (8/5): Pleasant rural setting. - Only used this as an overnight stay while we were going to a wedding. So cannot really comment on our "experience".
• John (10/5): - Lovely clean rooms with nice staff. Nice location close to the railway and town. Good wifi.
• Lyn (10/5): Nice setting and detached units - The units separated from each other was a pleasant experience as we didn't hear the neighbours toilet flushing or voices, as is a common experience in motels. Double glazing also ensured that no noise was heard from the adjacent main road.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great place to stay - Great place to stay. Very comfortable clean rooms. Has everything you need including heat pump. On state highway 1 so some traffic noise but handy and easy to find.
• Ava (8/5): Easy to find, lovely grounds, big shower love it - Lovely greeting on arrival and room pleasant, couch not so comfortable. Shower was great nice size no hitting your elbows.
• Fiona (8/5): Easy late night check in. - Room was all ready with lights on for our late arrival with note and room easy to find. Comfortable stay. Lovely strong shower. Good fast heat pump.
• John (8/5): - Stayed for an overnight trip back to the south Island
• Paul (2/5): UNSATISFIED. FEEL RIPPED OFF - I booked online from Australia . On arrival in New Zealand I had to withdraw from the accommodation at the Cottage park in what appeared to be a small shipping container . Cold and unventilated. My sons asthmatic and after 5 minutes we had to get out of there and seek out other accomadation at our expense . Very helpful staff with very bad facilities . I'm not stuck up in fact I know how to rough it but these cabins are not HOLIDAY ACCOMODATION . There better suited to a Free room for a homeless person or as a dog kennel. DO NOT BOOK AT THIS PLACE .
• Robyn (8/5): Great motel close to Otaki. - We booked out most of the cabins for one night as we had family from many locations staying. This was a great place to stay. Roomy, clean and comfortable cabins. Beautiful setting and lovely staff. Highly recommend.
• Verified traveler (8/5): CLEAN:) - We spent 25 days travelling around NZ, and this is the cleanest place we stayed. Very well stocked and great management. Thanks
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good facilities, Unit ok - Facilities clean as, nice fruit trees. Parking at our Unit a bit difficult as only 2 parking lots directly next to 3 units. Unit a bit moist and carpet lined walls did not help to feel really clean Inside
• LCF (8/5): As advertised - Was in Otaki for a wedding. Premises - Roomy . Good clean condition. Road noise audible but not intrusive. Easy check in and out.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hotel staff were very warm and welcoming, and the room had all the facitilites we needed for our stay. I left a ring behind in the bathroom and they contacted me immediately to let me know they had found it. Convenient location as well.
• Denise (2/5): - The description of the room on Hotels.copm was not accurate so when we arrived and discovered that there was no en suite..and we had to pay $40 more for a room with an en suite, we were a bit dismayed.
• R (8/5): Nice facilities, pleasant staff - For an overnight stay would recommend this motel with friendly helpful staff. A clean comfortable room
• Bruce and Robyn (8/5): Secure restful log cabin surrounded in gardens - Our stay was a plea sent experience enhanced by the atmosphere of the location and surroundings, walking distance to Otaki Village and 10 minutes to the beach. Importantly our cabin was clean and we received personal efficient friendly service each day.
• Mike (4/5): acommodation on road trip - booked a room with two single beds via wotif . there were some left... photos on website showed a typical single room tidy clean two single beds side by side .which i requested . which I expected . for $85 ... instead when arrived late were give "railway carriage type hut with two beds no internal facilities eg outside bathroom . railway huts were overpriced for $85 and was not what was shown when I purchased the room ...ring them and check to confirm otherwise youll end up in a railway carriage hut
• Julie (6/5): As good as you get in this small town! - On arrival, reception were confused as to whether we had paid for accom. Most unusually, I did not have a printout with me. All ok in the end, but annoying.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Great sized rooms - had everything you need. best choice in Otaki
• Verified traveler (8/5): A bit too much sanitizer - We very much appreciated how clean our cabin was but found the odour of a sanitizer of some sort very overpowering and needed to open it up and air at every opportunity. Otherwise loved it.
• Susan (2/5): Very expensive and misleading for what we got!! - On arrival we were shocked to see a fibreglass tunnel with a double bed, a small TV and a table - no other rooms. In the unit there were no toilet facilities - no running water - no kitchenette no utensils whatsoever. We are in our 70s and had to go searching for bathroom/kitchen facilities in the rain. We had been to a show and arrived at midnight- previously arranged with the owner. At the time of discussion no mention was made verbally or on their web site of the fact that it was a fibreglass shell without any services etc. For a cost of $85.00 this was advertised as a MOTEL and conference centre it was no more than misleading and a con.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient place to break the journey - Immaculately clean, older furnishings. Would have been more satisfied if it included free wi-fi.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Be careful what you book - We came from Auckland stopover for catching early ferry This was a cabin shared facilities
• Ben (10/5): Excellent hosts - Threw together a last minute getaway with the wife. Hosts couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. Room was really nice, clean and tidy. Also enjoyed free use of the BBQ facilities. Would definitely recommend.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Quick overnighter - Overnight
• Deborah (8/5): Clean friendly well priced - Excellent low cost accommodation. Exactly what we needed for post wedding stay. Extremely clean and staff very friendly. Reccommend
• Ed (6/5): Cheep & cheerfull - Pleasant surroundings. The cabin wasn't quite as advertised. The room was a stand alone fiberglass cabin with the basics, double bed, cupboard with some coat hangers, TV, table. The kitchen & ablutions were 25mtrs away, setup more akin to a camp ground but clean tidy and spacious. Despite being beside a main highway the cabin was surprisingly quiet and comfortable and over all a pleasant stay..
• Graeme (8/5): Good budget tourist cabin - Excellent welcome/check-in, shown to the room and asked if anything needed.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Spacious cottage, walking distance to town. - Enjoyed the space we had to spread out. Staff were happy to change our booking( with an extra cost) when we realized share facilities were in a separate building & not suitable for this mature couple.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Comfy and enough room for 4 of us. - Had everything we needed. Was about loud with the traffic but expected this being right on the highway.
• Sue and Rex (2/5): nightmare - Bookings all mixed up. Cost too expensive. We didnt stay in the finish. Found the next door motel half the price and very helpful.
• GRAHAM (2/5): Overdescribed? - Although booked as a budget night stop we had expected a chalet as shown. The plastic camper unit offered lacked en suite facilities although the site shared unit was at least clean. This is a low rent/motorcamper location. The area is depressed and it took a drive around to find anywhere acceptable to eat at 8 p.m. Will never return.
• Nana Jeans (10/5): Peace & Comfort - right off the main highway! - Friendly check-in, lovely quiet cottage with all that would be required including the Coffee Plunger :-) Immediate call to us re items left behind.
• Terry (10/5): Great Motel - We thought the motel was great value and will certainly stay again on our next visit to Otaki
• Neil (6/5): A good base - Stayed here for one night on a business trip. The self contained units are very spacious and comfortable although the decor is a little dated. The owner was friendly and ensured our needs were catered for.
• Nancy (10/5): Home away from home - We drove kms to get here and what a lovely stay ,We couldn't have picked a better place to stay . The staff just couldn't do enough for us . We only stayed one night but could of stayed more . This place gets our vote and recommend a stay here to anyone
• Verified traveler (8/5): I only stayed one night in a very basic cabin. - Did not expect or need much. Toilets and shower were about 25 metres away without covered access which might have been a problem in wet weather. I was OK.
• Horiana (10/5): Te Wananga o Raukawa Graduation weekend - Our cottage was warm and comfortable. I met up with family who had travelled from the north, and I travelled up from the south. Unbeknown to all of us, we were booked in the same motels so we were excited to meet up with each other there. This gave us extra excitement where we could go between cottages, have a shared bbq and a meeting with each other. I found the rooms very comfortable, fresh and warm and the staff, very, very, friendly indeed! Thank you so so much Don! kind regards Georgina Horiana Wainui
• Philip (10/5): A1 Stay - Both my husband and I had the most wonderful stay at the Motel. It was such a treat with all the conveniences tip top. Don and Joan who were working that weekend were so caring and lovely to us, we were spoilt very. The motel unit, adjacent to SH1, was surprisingly quiet, convenient,tidy, spacious and warm , we recommend this Otaki Motel to everyone and we will certainly stay there again when we go south. THANK YOU.
