- Barry (9/5): -
- IAN (9/5): - Good location, spacious room, friendly staff.
- rachael (10/5): - It was very quiet, the beds were comfortable and there is alot of space in the 2 bedroom unit. Bedrooms were big for a motel. Bonus there was a really nice pool.
- Matt (8/5): -
- Hazel (9/5): - Very nice quiet location. Pool a lovely treat. Our next door neighbours smoking outside the door. Nothing the staff can do, just bad luck. He was outside every few minutes
- Beatrice (9/5): Spacious, clean and comfortable - The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. It had been an exceptionally hot December day in the area, and we really appreciated that the room had air conditioning. Bathroom and kitchenette had everything we needed. Staff at check in was very friendly. Would book again without hesitation. Parking was near reception, not close to the room. That is nothing that would keep us away in the future, and it was not a problem to roll our luggage over to the room. Just something to keep in mind if you have health issues that would make that difficult for you.
- Gavin (10/5): - Staff were very helpful. Large bed was comfrotable. Nothing
- Bryce (9/5): Clean, spacious, comfortable, quiet. Pool a nice bonus on hot day. -
- Nikki (1/5): Terrible. - There is nothing positive about the property. You would never swim in the pool, the rooms stink, everyone can see straight in the windows and there is black mould on the bathroom ceiling. Definitely don’t book this property - look elsewhere. In addition the service is non-existent and unfriendly. Will never book again. There is nothing good about this property. I can’t recommend. Booked for three nights but could only cope with one night and then moved to other accomodation.
- Higginson (9/5): -
- тарабанова (1/5): Прекратите этот цирк с депозитами - Ничего Берут залог по мутной схеме, деньги так и не вернулись, номер не проверяют при выезде, какой смысл в этом депозите непонятно. Отель старый, что там можно ухудшить за 1 день проживания, непонятно.
- Patricia (9/5): We loved it and would happily come back again. - The stay went really well with no complications or issues. The manager was excellent and went far beyond the call of duty. She was friendly and helpful at all times. The location is very good, being handy to the township and easy to find. The room was kept clean at all times. Location of the washing line was a bit tricky.
- Laura (10/5): A lovely stay, comfy, quiet, close to town. Super impressed & would definitely stay again. - I was impressed with how large the rooms were and also how clean they were. Staff were super friendly too. We had the best night sleep and super comfy pillows too 👌🏻 I brought my own but quickly threw it on the floor and used what was there. Nothing. We were super happy with the value for $.
- Tasha (9/5): Comfortable accommodation - It was very quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and tidy. Very spacious rooms. Kids had there own bedroom so did the us the parents.
We were entertained by the neighboring cat, Ash. It was nice being able to swim in the pool even when it was raining!
- Martin (3/5): -
- Ann (7/5): It fulfilled our reason for coming to Cambridge. - The Manager was lovely and it was close to the centre of town. It is need of some up keep especially in the bathroom.
- Paul (5/5): Passable - Rom was clean and tidy, but somewhat basic. The 2 lounge chairs provided were really to small.
- Agnes (9/5): - Close to the city center, 5 minutes by walk. The room is very big. Very quiet. Host is nice and helpful.
- Karly (9/5): Clean, comfortable and safe place to stay - We like that this motel was clean, neat and tidy. The premises was nice and private, and felt safe. Which is important to us when travelling away from home.
- Gordon (7/5): -
- David (10/5): Thank you - Comfort, cleanliness, facilities, everything you might want but more
- Raiha (10/5): Enjoyable - The lady was really nice (sorry I didn’t catch your name). Exceeded my expectations. Very happy with our room we booked. I would definitely be back again, thank you Not much of a dislike, just uncomfortable. Something I forgot to mention to the lady was that we were very itchy and we think it may have been from the beds. The itchiness only started when we were in bed for the first night. Otherwise that was it.
- Paula (9/5): As above - The situation, size of the room we were given, excellent value for money, quiet, very clean.
- Jason Vicky (7/5): Good location. Big rooms. Very quiet - Really good size, nice and quiet. Everything you needed in the kitchen Could do with a deep clean. Skirting boards very dirty in the bathroom and spider webs behind the bedroom doors.
- cynthia (8/5): We were greeted with a big smile from the lady t the desk. She had our room key ready for us and we - Our room was quite large with lots of room. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Clean and comfortable. Great place to stay. Nothing
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good apart from noise from next door room. - Noise from neighbouring room - the air conditioning unit was very noisy and disturbed my sleep.
- Alex (8/5): - Bathroom was a little old and hence dirty looking but I think it was more age rather than cleanliness.

- Joanne (7/5): Captain - Very close to town centre, walking distance to Restaurant and cafes. All very good 👍
- Paul (10/5): -
- Wang (10/5): - We had a truly great stay! The service was outstanding—the front desk lady was exceptionally welcoming and went above and beyond, proactively providing helpful travel instructions not just for Cambridge, but for our overall trip through New Zealand. Our room was spacious and featured a convenient kitchen. We also appreciated the clean pool, quiet surroundings, and the good location (just a 2–3 minute drive from downtown and all amenities). Easy parking, check-in, and check-out made the entire process seamless.
- Michelle (7/5): - Spacious room, car parking spaces, location to Hobbiton, clean pool, very friendly owner Pool gate difficult to open and shut, maintenance of grass around the pool, icebox wasn't effective in the small fridge
- Yvonne (10/5): We were greeted by Ning who has the happiest and cheeriest smile and disposition she was lovely - The room was clean and had everything we needed in it from the kitchen to the bathroom.

- Stephen (8/5): -
- Sharon Adlam (7/5): Very quiet area no noise - The ceiling height was amazing. The room was large and comfortable
- Powell (8/5): Suited us perfect -
- Sharon (9/5): Quiet sleep in Cambridge - Location, clean & quiet were key. Bit tired-looking exterior.
- Mayank (9/5): Great motel, even greater rooms! So much for such a good price! - My friends and I had such a good time here!
For four adults, the room was massive! We were in love with the high ceilings! The rooms were breezy and had lots of natural light. Felt like we were staying in Spain thanks to the colour of the room, the pillars outside. Definitely not what you'd expect.
Surprisingly, the weather was extremely hot and unexpected, so we were so happy there was a pool! The space, in general, is much smaller and more compact than it's made to seem in the photos (probably taken at 0.5x), but it wasn't a deal-breaker.
The price for the room was affordable, though I think it felt that way because we split it amongst ourselves. Not too shabby. The owners are kind and efficient, too. Can't wait to come back again!
Totally worth it. No issues! Because we were there for only a night, we weren't able to judge the room service or any further hospitality. But in saying so, the rooms had everything we needed, so we didn't have to ASK for any further help. It seemed as though they'd be helpful if you needed it, I'm sure!
