We had stayed at this motel previously so it was our first choice. Units have all that is required, clean and bed most comfortable, however we had the front unit so were disturbed by heavy trucks on the highway at times during the night - but had a restful sleep regardless. Close to a restaurant, a small native bush reserve... More

After a lost drive to the Gravity Zone - gorge. Found this motel on the way late afternoon. The host was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy... It is close to the road and transport trucks are heard most of the night. But when your in the middle of no where - Taihape is a pretty... More

Self and spouse reserved a unit here by phone from the weather-embattled Cook Strait ferry as 5.30pm arrival at Wellington did not allow sufficient time to drive to Auckland before dark. Great choice of motel. Our unit was small though very adequate and equipped with all we needed for overnight. Checking-in at 8.45pm didn’t lessen the welcome received. After a... More

This motel was a pleasant surprise as an overnight stopover between Auckland and Wellington. After a lengthy drive the host gave us a warm welcome, a choice of units and advice on places to eat. Our unit was warm, immaculately clean and comfortable. We enjoyed a luxurious soak in the spa bath. By pure coincidence we watched an excellent Peter... More

We only booked this motel shortly before arriving there and felt we were lucky to get two apartments at such short notice. So there was the concern that it might not be all that special. How wrong could we be, it was a real gem. There were hanging baskets throughout the small but spotless site. The bathrooms were almost new... More

We had a night stop here on our drive between Wellington and Rotorua. We didn't arrive at the motel until late, and reception was closed. However, there was a note taped on the reception door with our name and room number, plus a mobile number to phone if we had any problem. They had left our room ready for us,... More
