The friendly owners will collect you from and take you back to the airport which is very close.The motel style rooms are a little dated but spotlessly clean.Heating could be better but the beds were very comfortable and shower efficient and hot. We had a family type unit with two rooms,kitchen,shower etc. Kitchen facilities were available for self catering although... More

Same as other review, the heating in the rooms were not good enough, our electric blanket was not functioning. The size of the rooms were fine, but it was a little bit too compact at the toilet. The motel is a bit dated but still worth for money.

It did have kitchen facilities which we made use of but the bathroom was awkwardly set out and the rooms did not have... More

This "hard to find on the net" hotel is a little gem. Oldstyle, but groundfloor, comfortable, clean units. We only stayed the one night at the end of our short NZ tour but the owners were helpful and friendly. Only problem was that they offer free airport drop-off, but it would appear that as we were leaving 10 mins earlier... More
