    A great three night stay.

    Good quiet location, although along side a main street. The rooms are clean and serviced daily. A compact kitchen, with good shower and bathroom faclilities. A short walk to the Truck meseum. Plenty of off street parking, and close to reatraunts and supermarkets.

    No hot water!

    Overall was below average. Was surprised in the middle of my shower to find water turned cold out of a sudden. Cleanliness level can be better. Not suitable for a family in my opinion. I wouldn’t stay there again.

    We booked this on line whilst travelling around South Island having read previous reviews. It’s easy to find on Tay Street aka SH1. Whilst the motel is a few kilometres outside the city centre, it makes up for that by being very quiet even though...More
