Basic but OK

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Feb 2015
We stayed at the Brightwater Motor Inn over a weekend recently while participating in a sporting event in the area. The rooms were clean, tidy and of a good size - nothing flash but it met our needs. The owners/managers were pleasant.

The motor inn is located on a busy road but while there was plenty of traffic during the day it was quiet enough at night.

We didn't see a laundry anywhere but that wasn't a problem for us given the short stay. Apparently there's a laundromat just up the road at Stoke if you need one.

I'd stay there again if we were participating in the same event.

    Reviewed 14 January 2014

    Naturally visitors would prefer to stay in Nelson, that's usually the destination, however the town fills up pretty quick in holiday seasons. I arrived late evening early January and there were NO ROOMS in Nelson, Richmond or immediate surrounds.
    Fortunately I had noticed the Brightwater on my drive in (it's about 16 km from town).
    They had rooms, the price was Ok for the time, they serve food.
    Room clean smallish but adequate (average roadside motel).
    Very quiet.
    Value & welcome in a jam.
    Bring the Rid or Aeroguard.
