We arrive on stay to be told they dont know anything about our booking. We show our booking details and payments. So assigns us our room which was not ready for us to check in. We get into our room. There are alot of updates that need doing to the rooms. We had 2 to 3 light bulbs that we had to change from room to room. We had 2 forks and 3 knives to share between us for dinner. Once leaving we get asked to pay. This had already been done by our company so we where abit confused to be told that they dont have access to see anything. So they are not sure what we have or dont have once again i showed the invoice. Dont get me wrong it was a bed and a roof over our heads but i am very upset with what we paid for to what we got. It wasnt enjoyable and could not wait to get home. Over all i will not be going back.

Proprietor was over-protective of her security. The office was always locked. Allowed into the unit at exactly 1400, owner stranded out of town somewhere. No apology. Ran out of toilet paper. Frayed carpet at door. Would not return.

The true New Zealand

When you are on a budget this is the best choice. The location is quiet and the unit we were in was spacious and well equipped. WiFi was a real bonus when there is nothing on tv to keep the kids busy. There is a good kids playground in the block behind and some friendly resident cats. The units were well insulated and at no point it felt cold in summer. The shower was nice and hot too. Some of the photos are out of date the place is nicer than the photos lead you to believe. You'll enjoy your stay and save money while you are at it.

Very dated. Wasn’t the cleanest either, actually wondered if we had clean sheets as found a few dark hairs & wrinkles on bottom sheet. Floor was not vacuumed. Leanne did discount the room though as there was a hole in shower wall so that was good of her. I guess the price we paid was fair for the condition.

Really cheap

Leanne was very accommodating, Hotel.com had double booked us but she went out of her way to make our stay very pleasant. Old motel and needs some attention to the up keep of the premises but we had everything we needed, comfortable beds, nice linen, good shower, nice and quiet location.

Poor quality.

Linen cleanliness was poor. Sheets and towels. Asked to clean dishes and hardly any dishwash liquid. Also couldnt cook "smelly" food and warned with a cleaning charge yet people in next unit had 2 big dogs. Office was hardly ever manned. Were asked to phone mobile if we needed anything
