Well managed comfortable motel which gives a sense of privacy even when full. It’s located near to the “cycle journeys” head office from which the “Alps to Ocean” can be organised. This is the longest and most beautiful cycle trail in New Zealand.

Clean and simple. Comfortable and nice kitchen area. 40 minutes to Mt Cook National Park. Place has cramped parking most of which are close (1 meter) from your front door. Did stub my toe on a floor mounted doorstop in front of the bath tub so watch your step here.

The room was left open for us as were had advised we were arriving late. Spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. Out again the next morning so not much time to enjoy! We would definitely stay there again, good value for money compared with other motels.

Handy location for partner riding part of the bike trail. He was able to store his bike at the back of the unit. The room was clean and had enough space for our suitcases and other assorted stuff. The bed was comfortable. Parking right outside the unit meant unpacking the vehicle was easy. The bed was comfortable too.

Room tip: There is space to store an E Bike or ordinary bike at rear of unit

As always our stay at the Lakes Motel was great. Very friendly and helpful staff has always been a feature of the Lakes Motel, together with the comfortable beds . It was nice and cosy as we experienced a cold snap. We look forward to returning.
