Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The receptionist/host was so welcoming, friendly, attentive, and hospitable. Absolutely incredible customer service! The bed was so comfortable too, I was out like a light so quickly!
Would be quite good to have some little milks available
Very quiet spotlessly clean just for a few dollars more than a motel.would stay there again for sure.😊
Centrally located
Good location. Close to town, quiet even though it was on the main road. Plenty of food options and 2 supermarkets short drive awzy. Very nice continental breakfast supplied .Room very clean, jitchen and shower adequate. Staff excellent, helpful, provided tourist info. Moreraki Boulders 20 mins drive. Little penguins well worth seeing.Whitestone cheese and Rainbow lolly outlet 2 min drive. Historical precinct worth a wander esp galleries
Bed not so comfortable for us
Great stay thanks
Nice big living space and a bath!
The bed was a bit hard. The heater was dated and very noisy!
very nice room
Great location, comfortable and good value.
The heating is unreliable, the stove barely works, the bathroom has no heating, the kitchen is dirty and messy, and everything is old and outdated. I wouldn't recommend it for family stays.
Staff were amazing. Warm and large room
The bed was comfortable and the room was easily warmed up
The decor was dated and tired. This didn’t really matter in the big picture We think it was still good value for money.
Good location, pet friendly., censored night lights
Although they say there are electric blankets, and milk is provided, there were none.
Very clean tidy would stay again
Personal muy amable. Las instalaciones estaban impecables, muy limpias y cómodas. Tuvieron un detalle con nosotros por nuestra luna de miel. Nos gustó mucho.
Price
The motel is a bit tired and the room was poorly laid out
Good check in experience. Easy to find location and owner did not mind me having an extra 10 minutes to check out so I could shower after my Park run. great
Nothing really. All good
The motel we stayed in was exceptional value for money. The staff were polite and helpful and all 6 of us plus the dog had a lovely stay. We would book it again
Minor thing - we booked for 6 and they only provided 5 chairs for the table. We could have easily requested a further chair (and set of cutlery) but discovered we did not need it in the end
Our particular bathroom although acceptable would be better with an upgrade.
Very clean and tidy. Staff were very lovely and helpful!
I was so grateful to find a place where I could stay with my pet during the storm on 5-6 July. Thank you for providing a safe, comfortable and dry place for us.
I liked the place very much. The only things I can think of suggesting for improvement are that the fridge was quite noisy at night, and I think there was no extractor fan.in the bathroom. But overall I was very happy with the room.
Spa bath was amazing
The rooms were clean and serviced over our two-night stay. Good amenities and handy location very close to town.
We liked it was clean and tidy. And best bit was pet friendly.

Easy to find
No sheet for the sofa bed for the second child
heater was noisy
Location good, clean & neat Service excellent
Nothing. All good
Although the decor was a little dated, the motel had comfortable beds and the room warmed up quickly when using the heater. Perfect for our 2 night stay
A friendly, informative welcome from Wiley.
All the pillow are exactly the same, and I didn't find them comfortable.
Service...replaced a light bulb. Cheerful nature. Location handy.
Bed and sofa not comfortable. Mentioned to manager.
Access to laundry for extra $10
All the little extras. Robes, chocolates as well as the usual toiletries.
Not many power outlets in units.
I have stayed here a few times and the man that works in reception has always been so lovely and helpful
Clean and tidy and very close to where we were spending a lot of time.
Nothing really bed comfortable good showet
Good accommodation for us group of 5. Staff is very friendly, location is good, easy to find. Is very clean.
Bit old but good value for money
Location, price, amenities
All good
De prachtige grote kamer met uitgebreide keuken en het ligbad (ik weet niet of elke kamer een bad heeft)
-
Nice room, nothing fancy. Easy access to town, restaurants, and sites.
Very touristy and somewhat loud. Both tourists and children in park next door. Parking got very tight.
Comfortable and roomy. On site parking a plus. Close to town.
Nothing
The room was so spacious! Thought has been given to all the little things you would need. The bedroom was dark too which often is not the case in motels.
Nothing at all. It was such a nice place to stay. However a little bit of feedback would be that - the sensor light under the bedside table was very sensitive and extremely bright (lit up the whole room) and tended to come on easily during the night if you moved a blanket etc, so we had to unplug it.
Lady at reception very warm friendly and helpful
All goo
Good sized room with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Some traffic noise but it is a motel! The place is old fashioned.
Nice and quieter part of town but still easy access to everything.
The heater in the bathroom didn’t work, everything else was fine.
Staff are friendly Good location Everything you could ever want.
Room very dated,musty smell. Shower was awful took ages for hot water to come through. Toilet cistern stained mouldy.
Great central location , comfortable beds , good kitchen facilities.
The door was a bit difficult to lock and unlock and the Spa bath jets need a good clean .
as expected - standard accommodation, clean and tidy
Easy check in, and clean comfortable room. It was easy to find and nice and quiet even though the motel was fully booked on the night we stayed.
The beds were a bit soft for us.
Handy to town Flexible and very helpful.owners
It was fine and served the purpose. Staff were lovely and helpful
Small shower
We had a room for the disabled. It meant we had a wet room which was great. Breakfast was amazing. Lovely having a park next door.
Nothing
Friendly service, very clean
No television in bedroom
Ein typisches Motel, sehr zweckmäßig. Das Bett war bequem. Für eine Nacht OK.
Es ist schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen, vor allem das Badezimmer.
Limpieza
Convenient location, ease of access, cleanliness
Loose tap fixtures, maybe a towel rail would be nice to have in the bathroom?
To start with, I was very impressed to receive a free upgrade from the very welcoming host. The information pertaining to the unit and its surrounding area was well presented in a neat folder. The unit was very clean and the bed was super comfortable........and having a spa bath was an added luxury. The breakfast I ordered was very generous with alot of variety.
I could find no fault with this acommodation.
Amazing friendly and thoughtful staff. Clean and tidy facilities.
Beds were fine for one night but might be uncomfortable for more long term.
I was met by a very friendly cat. I had a 2 bedroom unit. a large shower. Plenty of room. I even had bath robes and slippers. kitchen facilities were adequate....toaster, kettle, microwave, cutlery, crockery. Tv, wifi. all good. Location on the main road was good and close to the town. It was difficult to get in and out due to heavy traffic on the main road SH1. Manager was very kind and helpful. Motel was busy with people moving in and out.
really the only thing I didn't like was driving in and out of the motel but the location is very good. The motel is not responsible for the traffic. No grumbles with the motel
This place needs some renovation; everything is old, from the furniture to the appliances.
This was a budget property - clean & comfortable. The man was very helpful, polite & friendly.
Great room ,good firm bed. Nice reception staff and close to town.
Quite good overall could do with a bit of upgrade
Bit of a musty smell
Great hospitality and tidy space
the couch could be bigger
