As our bookings for our trip round NZ were made before we departed from Scotland, there was always the worry that accommodation would not live up to their descriptions. However, this was certainly not the case with Arena Lodge which more than exceeded the reviews in TA. Travelling with my wife, daughter, son-in-law and their two children, we had booked... More

We have stayed at Arena Lodge 3-4 times and the experience is always A1. The welcome is prompt and warm, the rooms are always clean and relaxing, the location is ideal (walk to supermarket, walk to the city etc). We will stay again without hesitation and would recommend the Arena Lodge for Palmerston North accomodation. Brent was even willing to... More

I’ve had the privilege of staying at many hotels internally and overseas and Arena Lodge are by far superior to any other. Traveling with a group of young ladies and 2 male coaches the 3 bedroom apartments were an ideal setting as we prepared for our games, the added bonus of being directly across the road from the playing venue...

We stayed in a one bedroom unit, plenty of room for 4 of us. Was clean and tidy and had all we needed. The fold down sofa bed in lounge was a little uncomfortable but wouldn't stop us staying again. Brent was very friendly and helpful both when we booked and when we stayed. Nice touch with the free breakfast... More

I always try to stay here when I am in Palmerston North, the only downside is that I can't always get a booking, it's too popular I guess. Brent and Stephanie are fantastic hosts, it feels like a home away from home when I stay there they make me feel so welcome. The rooms are clean and modern, the internet... More

We spent three nights at this lovely lodge in a one-bedroom unit, and were very impressed with the great service, spotless accommodation, spacious, beautifully decorated unit. The owner/hosts were very friendly and helpful. Close to supermarket, which was important to us. We highly recommend this lodge to everyone! More

I travelled to Palmerston North for my Fathers Funeral with my mother, two brothers their wives and children. We chose the Arena because of its good central location and based on a quick search of the internet. We had little to go on but are very pleased with our choice as Brent and Stephanie are delightful hosts, the motel is... More
