Property was not suitable for use; it appeared as though it was mid-renovation, though there was no indication that work was ongoing.

Cheap enough but...
As a one-night stay, I just needed a bed and shower. For a 3 star hotel (as listed on Hotels.com), it was rather run down. Toilet seat was only connected on one side so moved - despite having a nice paper seal to show it was cleaned, the cleaner didn't notice it nearly fell off. Bedside lampshade was in tatters and lamp didn't work. Beds were okay and kitchen was satisfactory. Apparently no on-site manager after hours so nobody to address kids running the verandah after 10pm or to address the loud argument in a downstairs room at 4am. Office didn't open until 9am so any assistance needed was not available apparently.

Felt uneasy about nearby clientele. Not unlike Rotorua and the temporary accommodation for homeless. Grounds a mess. Garden needed weeding.

Old and Tired but Clean
Older style of hotel in desperate need of renovations and repairs. We stayed in room 6, and although it was old it was clean the the shower was hot. Reception was friendly and it was well priced and everything was booked out for the Burt Munro festival.

The shower was filthy, the toilet needs a coat of paint. The toilet has been replaced but the old wall fittings are there and are black with mould, the shower drips constantly and the window surround had mould growing on it.

The room was not clean. There was hair and dirt on the bathtroom floor and surfaces were generally grubby. There were also other tenants yelling and using unsavory agressive language. Luckily it was just the 1 night otherwise we would not have stayed.

There was a muck-up in our reservation somehow between Expedia and the property and we ended up booked in to a room with too few beds. The lady at reception was lovely and let us use the room while I sorted out alternatives with Expedia. Expedia ended up moving us to another motel as there were no rooms left that would accommodate our group easily, so we didn't end up staying the night. Their customer service provided at the Coachman was excellent.

The property had missing things (cups / TV remote) damage to walls / windows. It was cheap and spacious and contact friendly. We knew what we were getting. I loved having a view of the historic, old cemetery. Thank you.

Nothing positive to say. Dust on all the window ledges, ice box in fridge frozen over, shower cubicle had holes in the wall, no seating only a bed to sit on even though it had a separate bedroom, lace curtain torn. Had to leave early due to family emergency and after nearly 4 weeks I still can’t get anyone to discuss a refund with me. They do not return calls and blatantly ignore requests. iWork’s never recommend this motel.

Traveller turned up and was told there was no booking for him and he had to drive all the way back to Dunedin. I'm STILL waiting for the property to contact me with an explanation and apology! Will not be booking them ever again.
