Check in was helpful and friendly. Free newspaper to read which was a nice touch. Pool available. Clean, great fluffy towels. The properties are somewhat old fashioned and need updating, bathrooms especially, (wear and tear etc) and a little bistro balcony set would be nice. Near to the centre if you’re walking like I was, large car park with easy parking if not. Near a great supermarket and fuel stop too.

We absolutely love staying at this property. It is a motel and also has a hotel associated with it. There’s a pool on a hot tub. The building seems safe as it is locked at night and requires key access. It is a great place to launch off into Raglan or the Waitomo glowworm caves. This hotel is exceptionally clean and provides a great value for the price. The staff is super friendly when you check in and very kind. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your hotel.
