Exterior was dilapidated, broken pickets, broken trellis, peeling paintwork, very unloved. Advertised spa pool wasn’t available Bathroom and toilet very dated, lid of toilet cistern didn’t fit. Toilet brush disgusting, plumbing very noisy. Weird long net curtains in the kitchen draped down onto the bench and kettle. Curtain fittings falling off rods, nets had some holes.
- Louise (2/5): Run down and dated left super early to get back to clealiness - Nothing the whole place was a real let date. Grotty and dated room, stained chairs, carpets rotting wood.

- Dionne (8/5): - Good pool for kids! Nice simple motel
- Anna (9/5): -
- Dr Iwi (8/5): Great place to lay my head. - The customer service on arrival was so good, She made sure the booking was mine cause it had a default name on the booking hahahahaha but she found it. It was close to a funeral we were attending in Paeroa. And I thought it was value for money. I didnt get a chance to hop into the pool. But definitely next time I will.
- Dionne (4/5): The place has gone downhill the past few years mostly since new owners, such a shame. - Good location Good shower pressure NO.SPA USE-Paid full price for it but wasn't told prior to booking tor when booked or when checking in that the Spa is not available now even though advertised online&in room brochure, no signs outside saying no use. Went to book time&the elder Son was fine with it then owner lady came in&said No as it's too hot. Been there every January with kids for 10,years&never been an issue before. Would not of booked if had known this prior as it's part of the price! My kids were very disappointed especially my Son as that was always our chill time together in the evening. CEILING FAN-Went to turn it on but couldn't find remote. Went to office&older Son helping wasn't sure so he looked in cleaners station then said he will try find a spare, asked his Mum&was told NO the fan doesn't work so use the plug in fan in closet BATHROOM Taps-Not set in place so go to turn it on&the whole base of tap moves. TOILET-Too noisy to flush late in evening or overnight, very loud squealy sound. SHOWER-Wash stuff, you can't even get out the fixed pump containers, so minimal&time wastage. POOL-Doesnt open until 10,am. No last swim for kids on checkout morning.
- Allan (8/5): Excellent - Didn't have breaky Shower needs updating
- Jason (7/5): -
- Dr Iwi (8/5): Whānau attend tangi - It was close to the marae for a funeral our family attended. We had 3 rooms for our whānau, spacious and very accommodating. Thank you My fault the booking name showed up as a different booking.

- Naidoo (10/5): -
- Jackie (3/5): - Well ..we had somewhere to stay The property is run down and seriously needs updating.. the shower and bathroom was far too small and the floor in the shower was spongy and felt like it was about to give way...we will not be staying there again
- Greg (7/5): -
- Gail (7/5): Went to Waihi to do a short walk through the gorge. Loved the walk down town checking out the shops. - Didn't have supplied breakfast. Made our own. Had the basic requirements there like toaster etc but just a small area to work with. Clean and tidy. For a quick overnight stay the premise is all that we required.
- Helina (7/5): -
- Arthur James (10/5): - Staff were very helpful clean rooms, 10 minutes walk to the town,
- Peter (7/5): -
- John (7/5): Good -
- Banse (7/5): -
- Daniel (3/5): - N/A The shower bottom was dirty. Dust in the bathroom and toilet. The room was musty and smell really bad on entry as well as the fridge smelled like something died in it. We had to air the room out and get a air freshener from the supermarket to cover the smell. Carpet was very sticky to walk on it needs a good Carpet clean was very disappointing for the price for 4 nights plus no A/C just a ceiling fan. Will definitely not be back after was very disappointed. Also only received fresh towls on the last day of staying. Had towls on arrival but very very disappointed. Spent 2 nights somewhere else because of the conditions kids where very disappointed as well definitely wont recommend
- Geoff (5/5): - Only stayed 1 night and accomodation was perfectly adequate. For very little cost however unit could have a face lift and leave a much better impression Used the motel because it was convenient
- Sara (9/5): -
- David (7/5): - Homely motel, but a bit jaded. Friendly staff. Within walking distance of town centre and also a good restaurant. Close to the main highway through the gorge so constant traffic noise
- Jonathan (8/5): - Une motel pour une étape !
- Jennifer (6/5): - Close to town Tired, needs a big facelift in the room. Saggy bed.
- Doug (4/5): -
- Jeff (6/5): Bed was very comfortable had a good night sleep - Walking distance to town Elements on stove could be fixed they were so rusty I didn't even want to turn them on, plus shower pressure wasn't that great and nozzle was really low since on 6 ft
- Marion (1/5): Disappointed - Nothing Dirty,hot plates rusty with rust flakes all over the hot plates. Bathroom towel rail falling off the wall. Rotten wood where you step into the shower. Smelt musty.
- Lankshear (2/5): Don't stay here unless you have low standards.!!!! - This place did not feel like a motel it's a dump!!! Bad mouldy in bathroom toilet seat I had to clean. The tap in sink in bathroom was wobbly. Also if you wanted to make a cuppa you had to fill jug in bathroom.towels in bathroom where thin . Shower head dirty . Carpets dirty chairs in room dirty .
- Joan (7/5): Staff friendly. Room comfortable for the price. - Clean and well located
- Georgina Turner (8/5): Weekend getaway - Rooms are clean, beds a wee bit hard for my liking but overall great value for money. Easy check-in and out, definitely stay again.
- Neil (10/5): Good value - Good value
- Neil (10/5): Good value - Good value Good value
- Sydney (10/5): Will always enjoy staying here - How family originated it felt , comforting space and outdoor play for kids Not too sure
- Keith (6/5): -
- Kate (6/5): Was good 3 star accommodation - Our room was part of the back units so away from the main road. Clean, lots of plugs. The water wouldn’t stay in the shower as curtains were too short, was cold but extra blankets were provided and a heater, could hear the person next door snoring. The laundry facilities were not available as advertised.
- Ron (7/5): -
- GRAHAM (9/5): Would definitely stay again - Very clean and comfortable, would stay here again Everything was as you would expect, comfortable accommodation
- carrie (7/5): the lady who greeted me at reception was lovely and friendly - location was close to event we attended no complaints
- TOMOKO (8/5): 立地が良く使い易いモーテル - 内装は外観よりずっときれいで、食器類のクオリティが良かった。急な予約だったが、スタッフがフレンドリーで安心できた。 シンクはバスルームしかないので、食事の後の洗い物がし辛い。部屋の箱ティッシュやトイレットペーパーが少ししか用意されていなかった。レセプションに言えばきちんと対応してくれると思うが、気付くのが遅かったので。
- Prasad (5/5): -
- John (4/5): Very basic but we slept well. - The bed was comfy Didn’t see the need for Covid info to be in booklet. Would have liked a sink in kitchen and an extra blanket as it was cold.
- Clarice & Owen (7/5): -
- Justine (5/5): - Comfortable beds. Some poor design aspects e.g no kitchen sink, bathroom basin to small to fill jug easily. Overpriced compared to other motels/hotels - for $160 a night I'd expect better facilities as above. Shower curtains not adequate for containing water, which went all over the floor. Not enough power sockets.
- SAORI (7/5): -
- Atkinson (7/5): -
- Vicki (8/5): -
- Mohamed (10/5): we have good family time and happy sleeping time - Nice and kind reception Lady All good
- Bobbie (8/5): Clean and tidy and value for money. - We got a family room. Was really spacious with 2 singles and 2 doubles across 2 rooms. Everything was clean, and tidy. Room had a heater and so was warm for the whole night. Think it was good value for the money. The milk froze in the fridge, but it's not that big a deal.
- Andre (6/5): Pleasant -
- Robert (6/5): Would stay again. - Easy, friendly and filled our needs. Could do with a modernisation, but isn’t bad by any means!
- Lucy (5/5): Passable - Property was old but comfortable. Toilet seemed to leak, when we checked out the office was closed so we couldn’t advise them of the problem. Certainly, no wow factor but served its purpose. Priced well for what it was. As above
- John (8/5): A pleasant and quiet place to stay on Waihi - Room and location were great, no noise either Only one thing I didn't like was in the main room with the small kitchen was a distinct smell? Maybe it was the bed? Apart from that everything was fine
- Amit (8/5): Very good -
- Miss Qeira (10/5): - It was central to the places we were going to close to town good welcome to the property apon checking in apart form the weather most enjoyable stay
