Staff welcoming, very clean, rooms are dated but spotless. Bed was comfortable and shower had great temperature and pressure.
The motel is older but well maintained. A pleasant staff member checked us in, the rooms were neat and tidy, the swimming pools and grounds were well maintained, and we enjoyed our stay.
The owner was brilliant, very approachable and attentive. Room was perfect for what we needed and the salt pool was amazing for not being riddled in chlorine. We will be back
Clean property, easy check in/check out and easy to get to the town centre from. Really great having an indoor pool for winter - am sure the outdoor pool is nice in summer too, Although the rooms are dated they are very clean and in good condition with good facilities. Suited our family of 3 for a long weekend.
Super friendly staff, everything cleaned and replaced daily. Loved the heated pool and the fact that every room had its own heat pump (considering the temperature outside). Would love to stay again :)
Good sized room for my family & very warm! Heaps of space + close to town. Love the outdoor area too. Would definitely come back next time we are in New Plymouth. Thank you guys :)

Convenient stay and allowed for later check in. Dated but clean and very very spacious.
Although a little dated the unit would be the cleanest I have seen. Had a full size fridge freezer and stove which you don't see often. The unit met all our needs.
Awesome gem. Best part was the heated indoor pool. Definitely will stay again. Well done to the team. Last place i stayed was in palmerston North motel which was worst hotel, manager and owner . It made headline on stuff as a stay away like the plague.
So thankyou to a motel owner who respects their guests.
