Ava Lodge motel opened in 2014. Feeling more like a small hotel than a typical motel, Ava Lodge offers twenty thoughtfully detailed suites and apartments, catering to business people and tourists alike. The goal was to provide guests with an exceptional experience of comfort, quietness and security within a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where they feel at home. The building is striking with bold and quirky colours surrounded by lavish landscaping and less than a minutes walk from restaurants, cafes and boutique shopping opportunities of Jackson Street.

Felt more like a hotel than a motel with a large room and modern decor. The queen suite was huge with a comfortable bed and large TV. The large shower was great and awesome water pressure. Management are very welcoming and helpful. Plenty of parking out the back of the motel which felt very secure. Would happily stay again and hope I do soon! The gorgeous Birman cat saying hi is an added bonus :)

We had studio apartment (1) with private little courtyard. Plenty of room in apartment with everything you would need except washing/machine dryer in hallway - need to get key off reception. It was spotlessly clean and bed was very comfortable

Lovely hosts but the motel is starting to look a but tired, really needs a refit to modernise and update the interior. Couches are worn and the table and chairs are very dated. Bedding also needs to be improved

Hi, Thanks for the review, but I confess it has taken me by surprise. Our motel is just 6 years old and your comments are so opposite to the reviews below such as : "the building looks nearly new and the rooms were immaculate". We are the newest, most modern motel in the Hutt Valley and we have a large and loyal customer base. I am struggling to imagine any motel doing a "re-fit and modernise" after only 6 years. We are proud of the design and amenities of this building and our regular corporate guests book months ahead. If you would like to email me directly at info@avalodge.co.nz, I would be very interested to know which room you stayed in and which dates. Thanks and regards. Alison
