The rooms were very hot. We slept with our windows open to mitigate this and although there was a languid ceiling fan it would have been appreciated to have something more to circulate the air.

Was a last minute booking think it may have been called a studio room, very reasonable rates. We were pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and clean as was the large bathroom. We had cooking facilities to cater for ourselves if we wanted to. The TV in our room was a smart TV so was a bonus to be able to have plenty to watch and relax after a hard day and access to log into our APPS. Was happier with this motel than in the tiny room we paid more than double for the night before in Hamilton which did not have half the home comforts or free parking. Staff also pleasant and helpful. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Spacious home away from home.

Was pleasantly surprised when I entered my unit as it appeared spacious, clean and we'll decorated. Staff were very polite and eager to do their jobs. Being a non driver it was great to see a bus stop outside the motel and one across the road. The buses were easy to use as long as you had a preloaded Bee card. As a gold card holder my information was loaded on my Bee card which made bus travel free. Ten minute walk to a dairy and slightly further to supermarket and food places. Would definitely stay there again.

This place was more than adequate for what we needed as a stop over stay. Parking was right in front of the room. Fridge was very noisy over night but other than that no issues. There is a bond that they require on top of the fee of $100 but this is refunded after check out. I didn't mind this as I am guessing perhaps they have had some issues in the past that have meant they have needed to do this. Overall, adequate budget stay.
