This is a great overnight stop off when travelling with dogs. It is a little traffic noisey but then you are not far off the main route for the next day! It is very clean and good walking space for dogs. Town has a few food options and great fish and chips. Meet and greet efficient and we had lovely fresh linen and strong shower!

Pleasantly surprised

Clean, quiet, affordable accommodation. At first glance when you arrive the motel complex looks old/tired. But the units are clean and some upgrades (modern bathroom) have been done. Would definitely stay again.

Met with a lovely friendly welcome and was especially grateful as was for 2 nights over the Xmas period. Spacious room with lovely bathroom. Loved the patio which was frequented by blackbirds and sparrow and we also saw a Pukeko each day.

Good little motel if you need to stay in the area. Easy parking and relatively quiet. Ōtaki township is just down the road and a BP is very close by if you need supplies.
