We stayed here over Easter and found the room was large clean and tidy the husband and wife owners were very helpful even supplying super glue when my sunglasses broke. The motel is in a great spot within walking distance to shopping and restaurant.

4 friends in 2 studio units--price very reasonable and accommodation pleasant and clean and not too far from the town centre, grocery shops and a variety of food outlets. Liked the direct access to the beach from the motel grounds. Was not sleeping too well so was conscious of the noise from the trains during the night. The line was... More

The bed was amazing. The room was great and comprehensive. We were kept lovely and warm by the heating. The man at the desk was really great - his wife usually looks after things but she was sick. It was great to have laundry facilities.

Very comfortable room, furnished with individual style that suits the local environment and with welcoming personal touches. Thanks for the very helpful information the hosts gave us about tours, places to eat and the wonderful seal pup nursery in the Ohau Stream. We had a car and the distance from town was no problem. Closeness to supermarket an unexpected plus.

The room was very clean, airy, sunny and quiet. It was very roomy. After a terrible previous night at an awful motel in Lake Tekapo, this was a very welcome relief. There is a kitchenette with a small fridge. When you check in, they ask if you want cream or light milk for your coffee/tea. There is a little picnic... More

The room was quite nice spacious and clean. It was homely but I wouldnt called it dated. The staff were helpful. Free wifi and parking. I would say its quite a hike to town center and we opted to drive. There is a beach down the back over some train tracks. The train runs between the water and all the... More

I travel extensively throughout the South Island for my work and stay at many motels. I have many to compare this to. Firstly the bed was so comfortable, although I had finished my work early and could have left and driven home the absolute glorious comfortable night in that bed made me to decide to stay, instead of leaving. The... More

Stopped on the way North at a last minute decision once we knew where accommodation was needed! Small coach parking was available on the concrete pad at the time (probably ask when booking if you need it) and the room was clean and comfy - really big too, so would be good for a family of 4 (mountain view studio)....

There are several problems with this motel: the location, even though on the map seems wonderfull, it is right next to the railway, and we couldn't sleep all night. The ony view you have is ither the carpark or the field near it. What most upseted us was the fact that on the day we departed, because of a misunderstanding... More
