Detailed Reviews
Stayed in a two bedroom unit, very spacious with large bathroom and a second toilet, also washing machine and dryer. Bedrooms were spacious and beds comfortable each with a tv. The unit was very clean with everything we needed. Situated well away from the road so very quiet with ample parking. Definitely recommend staying here.

Very welcoming staff but somewhat surprised at lack of face coverings. Even more noticeable as no interest in vaccination passes (understand that but would have thought masks even more valid in an enclosed reception area when status unknown and dealing with travellers). Moving beyond that staff certainly welcoming…just when travelling it is a noticeable issue… The unit was exactly what we were expecting - clean, comfortable and bright with everything expected for a short stay. Bed was comfortable however layout of complex meant noise from other units and road noise. Overall great value and if the unit at our bedhead had not had the TV on all night our stay would have been greatly improved. Would stay at again but something to be conscious of. Note also a high school is over the fence so expect school bells during school terms.

Excellent is the only word I can use.Thank u so much for giving us the last room,rooms were so clean and beds so comfortable.We all loved our stay here and specially the spa bath so comforting after so long day.
The only tiny problem was when we returned back late night we couldn’t find a car park so had to use disable parking and than early morning moved our car.
Would definitely won’t think twice to book here again.loved this place

Hi there Chillinspice Thank you for your lovely review of your stay with us. Much appreciated. I am sorry about the car park problem. There is one carpark allocated per unit. The problem arises when one of the guests parks two cars without telling us. Difficult to police especially when we are full house. Looking forward to hosting you again in the future.

I recently stayed for one night at the Comfort Inn Kauri Court in Palmerston North. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family if they were looking for somewhere to stay in Palmy for a night or two. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, the cleanliness of the room was excellent and the bed was extremely comfortable. An easy 10 minute walk to The Plaza.

Comfortable, quiet room. Very clean. Excellent towels and a good shower with a nice range of complimentary toiletries. Comfortable bed and a good night's sleep. Easy 15 minute walk into town but also a bus stop close by. Does exactly what a motel should do.

We stayed two nights in a lovely spacious downstairs king studio as requested. Everything clean,well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and excellent shower. Helpful host with suggestions on what to see and good selection of brochures on the area. Well located if you have a car and an easy walk to the lagoon and rose gardens. We would happily stay again.
