- Tina (8/5): - Great location, within walking distance of pools. Good beds and kitchen. Quiet and peaceful. Great suggestions for things to do from staff and a prompt phone call after we had checked out to tell us we had left something in our room. Smell of dog as we walked into reception. Dog was lovely and very friendly but smell was a bit much as we walked in. Our room however, was great and it did not affect our stay at all. Would happily go back.

Nice and quiet at night with block out curtains and a comfortable enough mattress. Could walk to Spa baths and the track for nature walks is a bit further down the street.

It was lovely and quiet, which made it even more relaxing. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed – iron, soap, sugar, fresh towels, and even complimentary milk, which was such a thoughtful touch. The air-conditioning worked perfectly, and we appreciated having all the TV channels available. Compared to other places, this was definitely the most affordable option without compromising on comfort. We also loved that you can borrow towels for the pools – such a convenient extra! The lady at reception was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend staying here – we will definitely be back! No complaints

- Anaru (10/5): - The rooms are spacious clean and tidy and feel like a home away from home.
- christina (5/5): A typical overpriced New Zealand motel, but located very well near all main facilities in town. The hosts aggressive man - It was in a good location very close to bars and restaurants and the hot pools The hosts were quite hostile and made us feel very unwelcome. It was an unusual situation where we inadvertently booked for 2 people when 3 persons were staying in the room. Unfortunately, the hosts mistakenly assumed we were trying to deceive them when that was not the case and we happily paid for the extra person.
- Olly (4/5): - Location Most uncomfortable bed ever. There were 2 quits over mattress and under bottom bed sheet as looks as if mattress seen it's better days. Made the mattress look bigger than it was !!
- ASHOK KUMAR (8/5): Nice Motel but still can be much better - Very comfy bed & room size . View from Room No.9 specially very good . Shower Cubicle too small & Crockery in kitchenette too worn out . Even frying pan was too old and dented . However shared this to host and they very kindly took a note of this .
