Our first stay at this motel and we were super impressed. The greeting was very friendly and helpful, the room was, probably the most well thought out and organised we have ever experienced….(and we have seen quite a few around the world). Everything was beautifully presented and everything expected was supplied.
We highly recommend this motel if you are intending to visit Thames or somewhere here by.

Room tip: Book early because it is so good

Great motel, well-run by Carol. Very clean room, relaxing spa bath and pool.
Easy walk to Wharf bar and fish and chips. Secure storage for bikes. Spent two nights here at the start of the Hauraki Rail Trail.

Room tip: On main road so gets a little noisy in the morning. Windows reduce much of the noise.

The room was spacious with a king size bed, 2 armchairs, coffee table and a small dining room table and chairs. My husband appreciated the chairs which meant he could watch TV in comfort instead of lying on the bed. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom is a decent size and it was nice having buttermilk coloured towels. The sink had room each side for our toilet bags. I enjoyed a long soak in the spa bath. The floor to ceiling mirror was handy to check my outfit before I left.
Although the main road into Thames is right outside we didn't notice the traffic. The staff were friendly and happy to recommend a place for breakfast. Nice touch having a reminder notice on the door as you left to check for phone chargers and clothes in the wardrobe. We would stay there if we were in Thames again

Great service from staff. Very friendly and helpful, even when I had to change my dates of booking.
The rooms our family had ( 3 in total) were all immaculately clean.
Lots of space and very comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again, thanks

What a find. It feels so comfy, friendly and restful. The facility is spotless, well decorated and has much charm.
Wonderful experience. In the wind, thunder, storms and flood of January 2023 in NZ we sought escape from the slips and ranging weather. Here in this motel was like discovering a haven.
Beautiful, calm, pretty, well stocked and well worth the trip and the money. Congratulations to the management and owners!

Room tip: Traffic noise but close the windows and all quiet!
