What can I say, this lodge is fantastic. Quiet and beautiful rooms with everything you need to stay cozy and warm. Even had the pick of rooms. A close by mart for some basics, with a short walk to food and shopping places. Can't recommend it enough!

This motel was fantastic. The bed was soft, the room was quiet (even though there was a gathering outside), it had a little kitchen, and it was clean. Conveniences like digital channels and a coffee machine meant that it made the stay just that much more comfortable. Super convenient to central Palmy as well with just a short drive to the Plaza. Definitely recommend.

The couple running the Hacienda were very helpful and could not do enough for us. It was obvious they took great pride in the place, keeping the outside space and bushes immaculate. The room had everything we needed a d everything worked.

Very clean & modern inside. Advance warning of the scaffolding around it would have been good as woken very early by scaffolders moving pipes. A reduced rate while work is in progress would have been fair.

Lovely Palmerston North motel

Excellent room, clean and comfortable. King bed, also clean and comfortable. Close to town, yet very quiet. The lady was really friendly and helpful. All facilities, except disappointed in the ev charging and parking. We selected the motel with this available, but when we got home from dinner there was only 1 park available, quite away from our unit and the charger, which was a shame. Apart from that it was excellent, would definitely recommend and would happily stay again.
