This is a good hotel with nice walking access to town. The rooms are large and well laid out. The hotel is near the road so sound can be an issue.

For a simple motel it is clean and quiet, not trying to be fancy, certainly fits the bill for what they advertise. Would stay there again with no hesitation, would recommend.

Wow we were very impressed with this motel. Very spacious room which appeared to be recently renovated. I was greeted by a lovely gentleman at check-in who was friendly and helpful in recommending local places to eat. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent value for money
It’s a typical NZ motel - perfect for a short stay whilst travelling around this amazing country. The owner was incredibly helpful and informative on arrival which ensured we made the most do our first day in the area. Close the caves at Waitamo but it’s also worth going to the Kiwi Sanctuary- some great work being done to protect them. The motel room has all the facilities you need you need and is great value in a great location

It's a great place to stay. However, our neighbours were rude and argued outside our room. The walls between units were thin, and I could hear snoring coming from next door.

Great place to stop over on the way to Hobbiton or when traveling. Only stayed one night but the room was clean and had everything we needed for our family. Right off of the road and near grocery and restaurants.

Whilst perfectly serviceable and undeniably a pleasant motel, I was a bit disappointed by some of the obvious lack of maintenance in the room. Shower was very outdated, the bathroom floor linoleum floor very slippery, paint in several areas of the bathroom was peeling or damaged, and the bathroom fixtures (heater, towel rail etc) were extremely dated or worn out. Perhaps most bizzare of all was the fact that the room (located upstairs) shook and rattled like a gentle earthquake whenever trucks would pass on the road. Again, perfectly serviceable lodging for a one night stay, the staff were lovely and the bed comfortable, walking distance to shops and eateries. If I had paid less for the room, I'd have far less complaints but at $180 a night it did not quite live up to my expectations. Hopefully the owners will consider updating some of their facilities in future.

Friendly staff and good location for a single night stay, but due to proximity to Countdown store and the main road, there were a lot of truck noises at night and early morning.

A Bit Noisy.
The manager is very nice. One drawback--the room furnishings shook when trucks went past the road next to the hotel. (And the manager assured us that we were in the quietest room in the motel.)

For the area and the price, this property was good. It was very clean and came as promised. Shower was a bit wonky to turn on and towels were rather thin. Definitely the least nice of the 4 similar places we stayed in across the North Island but great location and much less costly than 2 of them.
