Staff very helpful - excellent instructions on how to get to the Colonial Lodge from City Centre. Motel unit of a very high standard with ample supply of crockery, glasses, linen etc. The use of a laundry was another added bonus. The site layout and location of facilities within the site a real inspiration. As no longer need to travel... More

We choose the Colonial Lodge Motel because of its price; a special one-off rate for a Sunday night had us sold. But- when we arrived I was astonished to see such a lovely, quiet peaceful garden setting (how many motels even have gardens anymore?!?!) with top-notch facilities. Our room had been upgraded and the short walk to the room with... More

Our 3 Basketball teams (group of over 45) stayed at Colonial Lodge. Mark and his team were brilliant hosts and did everything to make our stay very comfortable. There were lots of different areas for our kids to hang out together without getting under each others feet - pool, spa, recreation room and lots of outdoor areas including hammock. The... More

Last minute booking for the Mission concert lead us here. Warm welcome on arrival, we did have some concerns about the room size we ended up with but as it was last minute waht do you expect. The room was comfortable, clean tidy and well decorated. We did raise our view with the Manager who did a fantastic job and... More

We decided to stay at the Colonial Lodge after reading the stellar reviews written by previous guests. We were not disappointed. When we checked in, the host walked us to our room to make sure everything was as we expected. The room was everything we needed and more, and we enjoyed using the pool and spa pool facilities. The hosts... More

Great rooms: super clean and quite fresh. Friendly staff. This is a real gem if you are traveling with (especially smaller) kids as there is a pool and a game room plus more. The only drawback at this place is that the internet is total rubbish--so slow you can´t really get anything done.

Booked for a two night stay at the Motel. Although located some way out of town the room was spacious with a separate bedroom and a well fitted kitchen area. Just up the road was a shopping area with a well stocked Supermarket. The owner was very friendly and helpful. There was also a free 6 hour access to the... More

A superb motel that had everything to make our stay in the Hawkes Bay a perfect trip. Our family (2 adults and 3 children) have been travelling through NZ and the Colonel Lodge Motel was the best accommodation we experienced in NZ. The kids absolutely loved the place with so much to do - the pool, games room, spa pool... More

Stayed here with family (6 adults and 1 child) over Christmas recently and thought this place was great. We stayed in the house out the back which was well appointed and spotlessly clean. As other reviewers have mentioned the service here is fantastic - The hosts brought over treats on Christmas Eve, and went above and beyond to find a... More
