Stayed here in April for work (one night). It is clean & comfortable. The managers are really friendly, but it seems to cater to men working (leave your muddy boots at the door) . It's not in a great part of town. All the other motels are on Fitzherbert St. This is way across town on Main St. Nothing nearby... More

Thank you for the review. We appreciate the concerns and feel you had a few valid points in regards to the security of the units. Although this is the first we have ever had a negative regarding security we have taken steps to replace all the door knobs and locks with a higher quality commercial version. Also we are installing... More

We stayed in the two bedroom unit. We loved the space and cleanliness of the unit. It has the biggest TV in the world. The spa bath was lovely, the king beds soooo comfortable, the crisp white linen fresh and clean and the showers powerful (almost painful!!!). The staff were welcoming and friendly. I would certainly recommend the Drovers. Perhaps... More

My husband and I had to unexpectedly stay with Sieda and Israel at the Drovers Inn for 7 weeks. Our initial booking was for 3 nights, and then my husband required emergency surgery which delayed our move to Australia. Israel and Sieda went our of their way to accommodate us. They even moved a special chair into our room for... More

We stayed in Unit 5 which is a one bedroomed ground level unit, with kitchette, table and chairs, corner leatherette couch, private enclosed courtyard and a king bed. The bed and pillows were softer than we prefer, but not a major. The bathroom shower was modern with brilliant water pressure. Unit colour scheme could be better but still of a... More

We returned to The Drover's Motor Inn in Palmerston North as our previous experience was excellent. They didn't disappoint. This time we were given the one bedroom studio with separate toilet, two televisions, double-head shower and private outdoor retreat with table and chairs. We really like staying there, the proprietors are friendly and very helpful, it is quiet, scrupulously clean... More

Booked on friends recommendation and couldn't have been happier, from the twin head shower to the TV in the bedroom for hubby to watch cricket! Clean, tidy, upmarket furnishings in a spacious unit and friendly helpful staff, all value for money. Already planning our next booking.

Have stayed in this motel recently and we have been satisfied with the cleanliness and comfort. The Kitchen is well stocked, the bathroom is very nicely appointed and the bath linen excellent. The bed linen was cotton and of high quality and the bed (king, 2 singles joined). was comfortable, feather pillows very welcome.

Great motel and fantastic owners! We booked two nights accommodation for the night before our wedding and our wedding night. They showed us around prior to booking to make sure we had the right type of room for me and the girls to get ready. On arrival we were given some beautiful flowers and they could not be more accommodating!... More

We booked a studio and then at the last minute we had an extra person turn up and had to change our booking. This was super easy and they were very accommodating.
