Disliked: Amenities
Chose this place because it was pet-friendly but it was inadequate in every way and nothing like how it was advertised. Bedding and towels were well worn and marked. Other residents seemed to be in emergency accommodation. Pool was unusable.

Although the room was clean, it was very worn. The beds were bery uncomfortable. This motel needs renovation.
This is budget accommodation and perfectly adequate for a two-night stay.
Bed comfortable, linen and towels clean. Although one towel was frayed along the edges!
The 2nd night there were rowdy guest close by until 2am!
Had everything we needed in our unit cozy & warm close to town & where we needed to go .. we will definitely be back! And make this our accomodation when we visit the Hawke’s Bay

It was very reasonably priced so we couldn’t expect too much but being woken at2am by roudy tennants wasn’t what we would have expected.
I chose not to stay here because the whole atmosphere of the place was not pleasant. The whole property looks rough and I felt quite unsafe being there.

The property had everything I look for but ... I don't use plastic kettles & the cleaners use a product that leaves a mild smell in the unit, akin to a cheap perfume. I can't see why we need to fill our living spaces with the odour of artificial (chemical) scents - bottom line, they are toxic. What is wrong with fresh air ? Luckily it was mild and having windows open mitigated the use of such products.
The place had dirty walls & cobwebs some of the light switches didn't work the bathroom door handle was broken.
Kids made good use of the outdoor pool.
Place had the basic necessity for us to make our stay comfortable.
