Guest Reviews
- Flavell (10/5): -
- Francie (10/5): Stress free welcoming - Relaxing. Wonderful staff
- Sarah (10/5): Comfort and Pet Friendly - The bed was super nice and cosy, with an electric blanket was a super bonus, after a busy and long day. ,
Love that it is Pet friendly, and dogs can be in the room, especially if they have their own bed.
- Flavell (10/5): -
- Joanne (10/5): - Nice welcome and pet friendly N/a
- Gregory (8/5): -
- Linley (4/5): Room 1 was pretty bad. Room 6 was better. Staff was lovely. - The staff was helpful and the location was good We had two rooms, one room smelled of old cigarette smoke. Both sofas were not very nice. Most beds had hair in them when we inspected before we hopped in. Thinking hopefully this was because sheets are washed in the one machine and dryer on site, not because they weren’t cleaned.
Room 1 rug was very dirty and smelly. Room 1 was very noisey and close to the road. Room 6 was better.
- Waititi (7/5): -
- Leta (8/5): Great stay - Clean and tidy. Had everything we needed.
Bathroom spacious and kitchen was well equipped. Bed was a little uncomfortable

- Kirsty (7/5): -
- Elenoa (8/5): - Everything 💯 Nothing
- Roimata (3/5): - I didn’t like it at all it was very run down The fact that it wasn’t clean and out dated
- Lisa (10/5): -
- Robyn (10/5): Fantastic accommodating owners and lovely staff - Lovely owners and staff A little outdated but still very clean and comfortable .. bed was comfy.. our room was away from the road so it was very quiet .. fantastic sleep
- Linda (8/5): -
- Lesley (7/5): Dog lovers - Friendly staff. Good soundproof walls. Welcomed our dog. Close to town. Ramp to get to upstairs rooms. Good parking. Quiet at night; good comfy bed. Nice linen. Good shower.
Good basic dog friendly motel. Would come again but bring cutlery and dish cloths, shampoo etc. Lack of decent cutlery. Only 2 mismatched bent forks, 3 odd-sized spoons. Only 1 cutting knife. No cutlery for food prep. No dish cloth. No toilet cleaner.
Dirty behind little oven, around bathroom windows, fan needed cleaning.
Grounds need work behind the rooms; by bbq area.

Laundry
Friendly feeling Nasty mat on floor was dangerous
- Ivan (3/5): Worst motel we have ever stayed in - The unit, no 7, was very badly in need of maintenance, but the electrics were apalling, with use of extension cords and multi boxes, which I'm sure wouldn't meet NZ safety standards. This unit should not be rented out until it has been upgraded to a basic standard. The owner did offer us another unit when we pointed out the damage to the shower wall, but we had already moved in and were too tired to shift.
- Bronwyn (5/5): Felt like a bunker - Cleanliness Old wires hanging out of wall inside.
Neighbours yelling in middle of night
Lack of plugs
- Hinewai (5/5): - Arrived at accomodation. On arrival Rlreception office locked with a phone number. Another two customers arrived. We waited 6- 10minutes. Received key to the unit. Service basic. Unit tidy. Kitchen fully equipped, but only one teaspoon. Wash basin appeared blocked. I let them know.
- Joelle (4/5): Würden wir nicht wieder buchen. - Die Lage ist gut und wir wurden nett empfangen. Generell war es in unseren Augen dreckig und hatte Schimmel an der Decke. Die Ausstattung in unserem Zimmer ist in die Jahre gekommen. Das Schlimmste jedoch war der stark intensive Duft nach Raumduft oder Insektenvernichter, den wir auch nach intensivem Lüften nicht aus dem Zimmer brachten. Für den gleichen Preis pro Nacht hatten wir in Neuseeland definitiv besser Motels.
- Glenn (5/5): Ok - No Breakfast No sky tv
- Carolyn (1/5): -
- Sandra (3/5): -
- vanessa (7/5): -

- Taylin (10/5): -
- Dallas (10/5): - Gangsta
- Tillandsia (10/5): - Was a nice pit stop for our travels. Cheap for a last minute stop. Office lady was really lovely and helpful. only down side is there was no aircon in our room but we made do with the fan we were provided with.
- Nicole McLeod (10/5): -
- Judy (6/5): The office was locked when we got there and then the man who was organising our room seemed unsure of what he was doing - The units were spacious The toilet seat didn’t fit the toilet it was not the right seat for that toilet and was not secured at all - the shower was held at the top with a hair tie - and the two units we booked were not together
- Kulak (9/5): Typical motel, not hotel. - You get what you pay !
- Selina (10/5): - Price, Comfort, Location, The room an amenities were just what we wanted for a night away..Very cozy, bed was so comfortable, shower pressure was amazing .. didn't Wana hop out. bathroom Size was excellent.. Managed to do my morning work outs in the bathroom
- SUSAN (7/5): - Aloud my dogs, close to town, quiet. No wifi number in room, very hot in room, fan was broken, shower floor very slippery. Towels were alittle stained.
- Peter (6/5): -
- DPK (7/5): -
- Donna (10/5): Perfect, thank you - Perfect especially as the booking was unplanned, a last minute decision. NA
- ERIC (5/5): A tired older motel that needed upgrading - This motel needed some love. Our host was in bare feet and disheveled to greet us. The room itself was in need of a good clean, the bathroom was also in need of a good scrub. Some minor upgrades had been done but more were needed. Our bed was not the best. The lighting in all rooms was very poor.
- Anahera (7/5): Convenient location. - Location, staff were very nice.
- Tarsha (6/5): -
- Sadee (10/5): -
- Margaret (8/5): Everything met expectations helpful staff, good location clean and comfortable good parking - Clean comfortable convenient

- HEATHER JOAN (7/5): -
- Jennifer (8/5): - We werden goed geholpen met het wassen van onze kleren en de uitleg van het systeem! Niet echt bijzonderheden, het was een motel. Praktisch zoals het bedoeld is!
- Sereana (10/5): -
- Colin (7/5): -
- Daniel Cork (10/5): Reunion - We chose the Fiesta as our dogs were welcome. Greeted by Shelly and felt welcomed from the moment we turned up...
Facilities definitely met our needs. Wifi dropped in and out.
- Leanne (7/5): -
- Kat (10/5): A lovely place to stay. - The property was nice and clean. Super easy to get to too.
- Miliama (9/5): Wonderful stay . What I expected for the price I paid xx - The staff was super friendly Loud water pipes
- Barbara (1/5): Was not a pleasant stay and I would not recomend it to anyone - Unit 9, smelt moldy, the whole unit was dirty, (dirty cobwebs hanging in each roof corner) window lashes and windows in poor state, light fittings did not work. We felt the whole unit and outside surrounds where a disgrace and all health and safety issues should be looked at.
- Thomson (10/5): - Very happy very comfortable and very helpful for the extra pillows we be back
- Angnima (5/5): -
- Grant (10/5): I will definitely stay again - It was easy access to where I wanted to be Nothing
- Rob (10/5): -
- Manihera (9/5): Definitely be back in the FUTURE 😊 - The staff was lovely and they fully accommodated for our needs as late as it was.
- Andy (2/5): Worst stay of our entire road trip, we felt cheated - Nothing in particular that we like During booking, the room facilities indicated there is a washing machine hence we booked the motel as we have plans to do our laundry before our return trip. At check-in, we were shocked to be informed by the owner that there is no washing machine in every room so the debatable question was - is it an intended mistake or genuine mistake to indicate washing machine as part of the room facilities? During discussion with the owner, it seems that it was an intended mistake to us. Besides, we are paying higher room rates with the understanding that there is a washing machine.
- Joseph (10/5): -
- Paula (7/5): Comfortable stay, great location and accommodated me and my little pooch. - Location was great, nice and quiet, handy to town Towels a wee bit tired
- williams (3/5): Dissatisfied - The room was reasonably tidy The roof was made of asbestos which I'm sure is illegal. The roof had mold from one end near the door to the other side. There' was no wifi at all, so I went to the office to ask why, and wasn't given much explanation, kept trying with the given password and network to no avail, which was annoying because I work online and couldn't access my platform. I gave up in the end. Looks to be either emergency housing or long term tenants living there.. the room had a musty stale smell that we tried to get rid of using air freshener but it only proved a temporary solution, the lower shelf in the bathroom was very dusty. Overall I can't recommend this location as a good place to stay unless you are desperate and have no other choice. Personally we won't be returning there again.
- Claire (7/5): Clean, spacious room. Would stay again -
- Elvira (9/5): -
- Dave (7/5): - N A
- Jeanette (8/5): Suitable to our needs.All the basics - Close to family we were visiting
Close to have a river walk in the morning.
- Cliff (10/5): -
- Ashley (8/5): The question is who was taking beers in our room, one blue half litre can of over 8pc, and two VB cans of 4.9pc - Familiar after half a dozen visits Nil
- Kara (8/5): -
- Corey (8/5): Awesome that they allow your dog to be there with you.. - Awesome that they allow your dog to be there with you..
- Michelle (10/5): -
- Owen (8/5): -
- Leanonme (8/5): Loved it, been there before, so we knew what we were getting - The office lady was more than accommodating, there was a miscommumication somewhere along the line with the sleeping arrangements, it was fully booked up on the first night, but she sorted it out for the next night, we were pleased Just the miscommunication part that's all
- cheryl (5/5): Thank you - it was a place to shower and rest, we were early and allowed to enter before scheduled time , Thank you also for tips where to eat.
- BRIAR (6/5): - I like the location of the property from Jubilee Stadium, hospital and McDs across the road. Easy entry and exit to property. Liked allocated parking. The outside of Rooms 7-10 was untidy, smoke buts around Rm7 exit and heavy dirt and leaf debris. Could do with a good water blast to rid the debris. Had to wash our glasses and cups before using as cups had coffee stains inside and sugar granules on the lip of the cup and glasses streak marks and finger prints. Visible spider webs & built-up dust on windows.
- Warren (1/5): In our case the advertised pictures were very misleading. - Shower pressure wonderful. We booked through Booking.com for a 3 night stay. We were assigned to Unit 6 which was in a very poor state, and totally different from the pictures on the website. Removable marks on kitchen wall & dining chairs, ingrained dirt on bathroom door edges, mould on window sills & frames, dust & dirt on floor behind rubbish bin. We stayed on as we unfortunately had a non-refundable cancelation type reservation so felt obligated.
Singularly the worst Unit we have ever stayed in in NZ.
- Rex (9/5): Hotel is getting a little tired but being able to have our dog with us was more important to us -
- Dawn (9/5): Clean and comfortable rooms, well equipped with kitchens supplies for warming food, and friendly staff. Also dog friendl - This little motel is surrounded by motels… So how do you choose? I was so happy with my stay here. It was super comfortable, warm, and spacious. The greeting at reception was warm and friendly and also very dog friendly. It was horrible weather and I was very comfortable and warm in the room, where my colleagues who were at a motel nearby were quite chilly! Everything was good.
- Michael (7/5): -
- Nevenka (6/5): -
- David (9/5): - Great quality for the money, best value motel we've found in NZ yet!
- Ian (8/5): Good value for money - Value for money. Good location for the event we were attending. Parking a bit tight.
- Kathryn (10/5): -
- Tennille (8/5): Very good -
