On a recommendation from a friend stayed for 3 nights. It is very plain on the outside but rooms are funished with quality fittings, is very clean and was always very fresh when we returned to the room each day. It is very convenient to the motorway system and as we were travelling between Wellington and the Kapiti coast it... More

These guests originally booked two suites, which we have a signed Registration Form accepting our terms and conditions, including our 24 hour Cancellation Policy. They arrived at our complex requesting to check in at 8.45am. We were not informed that the ladies would be requiring an early check in, otherwise we would not have accepted the one night booking, but... More

The great serviced started from prompt response to enquiry about staying until we walked out the door. Lovely friendly people and a great product in a very handy location. Will definately use again and have no hesitation in recommending. The only thing i would suggest is a hook in the bathroom and some bigger cups. Other than that all was... More

The Amethyst Court Motor Lodge is a very fine Motel. I did not find one thing the criticise about this place. It was neat and clean, the rooms were well set out and the little extras like soaps, shampoos, gels, tea coffee, sugar etc were all there in abundance. The shower, while being eco friendly was a good experience, towels... More

Terrible, unprofessional hosts that need to go on some sort of course to learn how to look after their guests. 1. Some personal bathroom toiletries went missing from our room while were were away from the motel. When we reported this to the owners they became upset and implied we were calling their staff thieves. 2. The owners objected to... More
