Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Loved it. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a laundry facility on site, with secure hills hoist to hang clothes. The room was spacious and clean. I loved that they provided quality tea and a plunger coffee “pod”. Also appreciated the eco friendly, plastic free toiletry amenities. The kitchen was well equipped for simple meals, and even though it is on a main road, it is well insulated from the noise. I will definitely be back to New Plymouth and I will definitely stay here again.

My friend and I stayed here during the busy weekend of WOMAD and we’re so glad we did, we normally stay a bit further out for WOMAD, but glad stayed here, as had the option to walk and it was only a $10 max taxi to WOMAD entrances, if too tired to walk. The shower etc was so shiny clean, it was like a mirror, right down to the glasses etc. The shower pressure was super strong, the bed pretty comfy and the room had a spacious feel with the high sealing. Was awesome having a full length mirror and the Queen bed had a bedside table on both sides, which not all do. The lockwood interior was lovely, even though it did the classic Lockwood creaks. Will Definately stay again. What would really finish the room off would be a nice bright beach picture, I thought.

This is the second time at the Taranaki Festival and we are pleased we returned to this motel. As far as motels go it's about as good as it gets. Perfect tly located. Despite being g on a main route the units are very quiet. The units are modern, clean and airy. Curtains enable making it very dark.
Staff are very helpful.
It probably ly the most comfortable bed we have slept in.
If returning to New Plymouth it would be our first choice.

We stayed at the Lockwood Manor for 8 weeks whilst our house was being renovated following a flooding. From the first moment that Kelly-Anne and David knew of the circumstances of our stay, they went out of their way to ensure of stay was as stress-free as possible. Kelly-Anne and David both have real natural 'hospitality' personalities and this is replicated by their staff.
Great location, great service, would highly recommend *****

We loved this motel. Firstly, I love Lockwoods, they just feel so lovely and warm. But more than that, the service from Kelly-Anne and David was just amazing. Sometimes you stay in a place and the service feels slightly forced, or that the smiles are painted on, but these two just made us feel so welcome. They are both lifelong Taranaki people and they know the place so well, giving you all the information you need.
The room was perfect for a couple and a child, and the beds were comfortable and cosy. The whole of NZ was caught in a terrible storm the weekend we stayed, and that seemed to make the rooms that much cosier. The weather didn't put a dampener on our weekend, we just did different things.
If you want a beautifully clean, comfortable, welcoming place to stay in New Plymouth, this place is a gem.

My wife and I had planned on staying 3 nights, but enjoyed it so much, we extended our stay for an additional 4th night. We have attached pictures of our accommodations as sometimes the Motel pictures do not match the actual pictures. One will see they are identical. We highly recommend Lockwood Manor Hotel. Thank you Kelly-Anne and David.

Everything we needed for our first sleep after flying in from uk and driving from Auckland. Clean comfy bed, great shower friendly owner. It is situated close to the road which meant it wasn’t perfectly silent but we were so tired that it didn’t matter!

Its in a really good position for getting into town on foot. Rooms are clean and bright and really quiet when you look at how close it is to a busy road. Comfortable bed and all the amenities you need to do breakfast and other meals. BBQ area as well, a treat.
