This motel is well placed before the last leg driving to Auckland, or just after coming over the Bombay Hills driving south. Staff are friendly in this newly built motel. There's a good restaurant serving hearty food alongside.

Review of Pokeno Motel
Reviewed 4 Mar 2021
If you love the smell of cow dung and sheep pis5 you’ll love it here, with stock trucks arriving at all hours crashing and banging through the dust bowl gravel pit that serves as truck parking. Then leaving at stupid o’clock waking you again.
Awful place and to think its in a residential street...
Fell sorry for the residents near by

It has been years since I have been through Pokeno.
Modern, clean and tidy rooms. Awesome host.
All within walking distance to the Countdown Supermarket. Other shops, bakery, liquor outlet if that is your thing.

My boyfriend booked a room at the Pokeno Motel recently for us to stay on our way down the country.
Motel was very noisy with big trucks arriving to the Motel at all hours, and then other truck drivers leaving at all hours, - ....more truck noise !
No Air Conditioning (hot or cold) either in the rooms, just basic wall heaters that took ages to heat up (....not good on a chilly night !)
Not worth the $140.00 they charge per night
Room tip: Not worth the rates
Date of stay: September 2018
