We stayed here for a few nights in February on a family recommendation from a previous visit, and were not disappointed. Ian & Jyl were so friendly and offered loads of advice on places to visit, including eateries off the tourist route that were superb value for money. The accomodation was clean and spacious. An outdoor swimming pool and garden... More

This was our first visit to NZ and what a welcome. Ian and Jyl couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The room was super and the private spa a luxury. The breakfast was excellent and the only downside is that we could only stay one night. More

Stayed on 4-Feb 2012. We found the place very accommodating and as we have a little Jack Russel dog, it was nice to be able to bring her along. Place is a good price and has an extremely comfortable bed & good amount of pillows. Best sleep we have had in a long time, away from home. Also very nice... More

When traveling, staying a motel can bring up a little concern. We couldn't have enjoyed the Sport of Kings Motel anymore. The rooms are like a suite. They have a bedroom and then a living room/kitchen area in the other room. Plus off the bedroom was a private spa just for us. Wow!! The pool was very nice after a... More
