Good basic motel that allows you to bring your pet dog, which is a rare find. Very dated rooms and bathrooms but clean enough.

The motel is located next to the state highway, convenient to access, to 15 minutes from the Waitomo caves. The host, Margeret is very friendly and helpful. She provided milk when we checked-in, and also offered to dry our wet cloth that we got from the previous activity. Although the facility is not the newest but it's very clean and convenient. I am happy that we stayed there for the night.

We had a very enjoyable stay: friendly staff, very quiet room with no traffic noise. Clean room,comfortable bed and nice bathroom with high pressure shower. Wifi would have been useful plus a small jug, so we can refill the kettle as the bathroom sink is too small to fit the kettle under the tap.

Aged property, could do with an update. No face flannel nor toiletries other than 2 small soap bars. Ok for my requirements of an overnight stay. Overpriced.

The manager was so wonderful and helpful. I would recommend this motel to any travelers. It was centrally located to most of the sightseeing in the North Island, kiwi house, glow worm caves, geo thermal geysers, botanical gardens, shopping and places to eat. Our bed was very comfortable, the other 2 which the kids used were too soft for them so we took them back to their tiny house. Check in and check out was extremely easy. I give these accommodations a 10 plus.

The staff were lovely and welcoming. Good size units with comfy beds. pretty tidy and clean with everything you need. Easy location and quiet considering on the main road. Our kids were pretty excited to see the playground (trampoline & swings), unfortunately they looked like they were about to collapse & pretty dangerous. Would've been great if they were usable. Otherwise, lovely stay.

The property definitely needs renovations and upgrade. The kitcen is very outdated and the kitchen cupboard was dirty, and some of the utensils were oily and dirty. The lady at the reception was helpful and nice, and the bed was comfortable, but apart from that the rest of the room wasn't up to standard. The cost was $150.00 per day, and it wasn't worth the money you pay for. The shower recess was small, and you can’t adjust the shower head.

We had a wonderful stay ! Very friendly staff that went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, even our washing which we were grateful for as we’d had a long day cycling! Quiet surrounds and the pool was very welcome. Highly recommend staying here!
