4/10 Fair

Better Options for the Price
Stayed in 'The Cottage' and it was quite ordinary. Everything looking worn. Hole in lounge suite. Settee on porch repaired with sticky tape. Sheets appeared clean enough, but the rest of the bedding - duvets & blankets - visible that all needed a good wash and smelt less than fresh. If I was paying a budget price I would expect budget accom, but expected better than this for the price we paid (around A$250 per night). It also appeared that some rooms at the motel are being long-term let to WINZ benefit recipients, which certainly didn't add to the ambience of the place.

10/10 Exceptional

This motel is small but the room was a very good size with kitchenette and private bathroom. Plenty of hot water in the shower. The room was very clean and the young lady in the office is SUPER friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again nice place, good price. Only suggestion is if you stay during the colder months inquire on how to turn on the heater in the room. It took us a little while to figure out how to turn on the panel heater.

6/10 Good

This motel is comfortable though requires a little bit of attention. For example the curtains are a bit worn at the base and the settee, due for replacement according to the owner, was looking very shabby. The bathroom was large and modern. The managers were very pleasant and helpful. It's a short drive to a supermarket and also to the city centre in the opposite direction.

Free Thermal bath and conveniently located.
Very helpful host. Walking distance to old St Faiths Anglican church and Te Papaiouru Marae and Kurau Park. For those who loves pies, especially mussel pies, Better Quality Pies is just down the road. After a day of sightseeing and walking, it was nice to soak in the free and very convenient thermal bath.

Really great motel
Only had one night here but room 7 that we had was lovely. It was very clean with a really large comfy bed, you had everything you needed. It also had a private patio with a table and chairs. The thermal pool was great and you could lock the door so you were the only ones in there.
