The motel is 70's kiwiana but the service from the owner is rude, abrupt and inflexible. Despite a large booking for almost a week, the owner insisted we leave earlier than normal checkout time. This and her disgruntled attitude to the most basic request for Internet access or a broom. These are not customer service focused people.

Very welcoming, a large room which was warm and comfortable. Well priced

Motel is well located for those travelling North (as we were, to catch the ferry the next day), or West (to Nelson or beyond).
Also pet friendly, which in New Zealand, is always a big bonus.
Warm and friendly welcome, without all the dire threats and warnings regards pets on the property.
Rooms, whilst a little on the pricier side, were very spacious, well furnished, and very comfortable (including the bed).
An excellent guest Information book was also supplied, but failed to mention the great restaurant right behind them, which is where we went, when we found one of the places recommended in their Guest Information Book absolutely crowded.
My only negative comment regards the accommodation is that they are located on the main road West, which means a lot of truck traffic up till around 10pm. After that, till about 7am, it is bearable.

A nice average motel. Clean, tidy and most facilities you could want.

We stayed as a family of 4 including two young children and there was plenty of room for everything. A good stop off point for a night or two and well located on a main road on the way out of the town near the local supermarket. Clearly some upgrading going on with new sofa's and TV's.
