Disliked: Cleanliness
The heater would not work in the room and the shower would not drain. I got the feeling the staff could care less.
Great spot to rest while I'm catching up with whānau. Pet friendly, friendly staff, comfy beds, decent size tv.

The whole complex was old and tired. The room lacked everything. The pillows were so thin 5 would fit in 1 pillowcase. No dessert spoons in cutlery tray. The motel was not manned. The staff were all off site so they had to be contaced by phone and you were left waiting while they attended to other tasks. All in all Iwas extremely disappointed and wont be re booking
Great place to stay, the one small niggle was slight flooding in the bathroom due to the design. It could be mitigated with a wider shower curtain that was closer to the floor. However that said, we really enjoyed our stay.
The room was spotless , had everything we needed . Extreamly clean and I am a clean freak!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We didn’t cook a meal but found a fantastic fusion Thai restaurant on Dee St and had a memorable meal. We felt that the property was very good value. We’ll stay there again:)
Would recommend this motel to anyone as their customer service was absolutely next level. communication was on point and super friendly to talk with awesome person to deal with. Will be seeing them again real soon
The room is clean and decent size. Staff was amazing, Staff let me to check in 2 hours earlier then the normal check in time. Staff are very helpful and respond quickly.
No one at reception no key to lock door had to change units. Wall heater didn’t work small fan heater did. Toilet seat about 3 sizes too small for bowl and had a sliding sideways option. No milk in fridge no dish cloth to wipe down bench. On plus side bed comfortable and good hot shower.
