Very clean and comfortable motel
We were pleasantly surprised staying here. We had 2 rooms, one with a king bed, lounge and dining table, the other with a king bed and single bed. Perfect for our family of 5. The place was very clean and seemed as though it was renovated very recently. The kitchen had cooktop, microwave, oven, small fridge - everything you’d need for a few days away. Parking was in front of the room with an undercover option. Reception is across the road (very clearly signposted) and owner was very lovely and happy for us to leave the key on the table and door unlocked when we left. Would happily stay here again.

I feel like this place was just recently renovated. It was soooo clean, smells good inside the room, they have bed warmer, branded soap and shampoos that smell good as well, heating light in the toilet, and just really well maintaned. Good for the price. Felt instantly comfortable to rest in a room that you know is clean and well maintained.

So much more than I expected.
Lovely stay for my husband and I en route from Christchurch to Queenstown. Room was comfortable with a wonderful heated mattress pad and provided coffee/tea/cocoa. The patio and little yard were a nice surprise. Walking distance to Fairlie Bakehouse for breakfast. We only wish we’d booked more time at this property.
