Review of Pokeno Motel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Jul 2021
We have stayed in a two bedroom , a one bedroom and a studio unit. Every time the room has been spotless. The rooms are very roomy with plenty of space. Some rooms have spa baths. They have a restaurant on the premises and countdown is just down the road (walk 5 mins). No, there isn't air conditioning but there is a ceiling fan and a wall heater which we have found sufficient each time we have stayed there, winter and summer. Plenty of parking which is perfect for the truck and trailer. Upstairs and downstairs rooms. Laundromat, liquor store, ice cream shops (x2) across the road.
Would recommend this place :)

    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

    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.

    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
