This place is a great location to center yourself in one of the best wine country locations in New Zealand. The units are very comfortable and no road noise make for a pleasant and quite stay. If you manage to find yourself in the Hawkes Bay with fine weather then the pool is a great place to cool down.

I have stayed numerous times at the Wine Country Motor Lodge whilst on business in the Hawkes Bay over the previous 12 months. On every occasion the room has been presented in a clean and tidy state. The price is very economical and the facilities suit my needs. During this time there has been the odd thing where a little... More

Although this is a relatively tired motel without any means of cooling the rooms in the height of summer, it is cheap. The manager has a confrontational style which left my wife in tears. He seems unable to be flexible beyond "the rules" and became very upset when my wife asked about our son staying for the final night (he... More

We've stay at Wine Country four times now, as we find it a little quieter than the ones right in the village. Its clean and tidy, provides a daily newspaper, daily room servicing, and the staff are always willing and helpful. The Manager even booked a game of golf at Cape Kidnappers in advance for us last time and we... More

Lovely little motel just out of Havelock North. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Excellent value for the rate we paid and well located near Te Mata Peak access road. We didn't have a spa bath in our room but they are available. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed here as a family of 4 in a one bedroom unit. Overall it was ok, few things that need to be addressed namely cleaning of the rooms needs to be more comprehensive (such as vacuuming every day), parking can be an issue if the place is full, for the money paid air-con would be welcomed. Pool was great, suggest... More

Thanks for your comments we apprecciate the feedback. We will make sure our new staff don't forget to vacuum. Air conditioning is something we are working toward at present. The umbrella in the pool area is an excellent idea. More

No complaints about the rooms but the manager of this motel needs to work on his customer service, his aggressive, rude manner is absolutely disgusting. We would never stay here again because of this. Such a shame because the lady who checked us in was lovely.

See previous 2 replies to your group. I was not so nice to my husband when along with other guests I was woken up at 1.30am and kept awake till 3am! We had to apologise to to other guests as they tore strips of us in the morning. If we were appalling it was to them, not your group. Your... More

We were in beautiful Havelock North for a wedding. The wedding had booked out around 20 rooms at this lodge. We were greeted by a lovely lady at the front desk which was nice. We entered and the room was good, tidy and modern. We enjoyed a swim in the pool that afternoon. It was at that stage where we... More

Sign on our pool gate says " Please no food or glass to be taken into pool area". My husband asked if this group would please take their bottles and glasses of alcohol out of the pool area only to be laughed at and confronted with argument. We are all for people having a good time, but there are reasons... More

I am afraid it is the same old story. When you have to ask (twice), grown adults with more than a few drinks in them to please be quiet and consider other guests at 3 o'clock in the morning, they think we are grumpy and rude. My husband probably was, as we had had phone calls from other guests complaining... More
