Great location, about 30 mins drive to Turoa ski fields. The rooms are pretty clean and large too. The beds have seen better days and are way too soft, woke up with a sore back/neck....not good when you're there to ski. The people at reception could do with some hospitality training too, not very welcoming or friendly to say the least. Overall not bad but look around before you book here.

“Decent Motor Inn, but beware of owners”

We unfortunately booked a 2 week non-refundable package here. The owners are extremely rude. We were yelled at and also had a door slammed in our faces when we asked queried the internet vouchers purchased. We recommend for visitors here not to purchase internet as they tell you it is $49 for 1 week, only to give you 7 hours. When I advised the old man a lightbulb had blown and he had to come and inspect, he said "you must be joking". They will not only be extremely rude to you but they may try and find a way to charge you money for services that they cannot properly provide.

On a positive note, the room was very clean and the cleaners were extremely polite and did an excellent job. The rooms are a decent size and they actually did have a coffee maker when we were here. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. Owners ruined our stay - We are currently negotiating with our travel agent to be relocated for the remaining 4 days.

Thanks for your feedback. I have spoken to the managers and they said that the internet was functioning properly and that other guests were not experiencing problems. My understanding is that you were also given several complimentary vouchers in good faith. However I will be visiting the property this weekend to check the system and ensure it is running properly.

“Pleasant new apartments”

Clean, comfortable, quiet, well managed. We paid NZ$95 for a one-bedroom unit, which was good value. The kitchen was not the best we had in NZ (no coffee maker - fury!) and the cooker itself had not been dusted, but the kitchen was otherwise clean and adequate. Mattress a little soft for our taste.
