Pinewood Motels

Nice comfortable, warm room - excellent base whilst skiing.

Good. Location, clean

Facilities, no comfortable chairs., table, or suitcase stand. basic dishes, cutlery etc. 2.teabags and 2 coffee sachets -( we asked for more for our 2nd night). A single electric blanket for a queen bed?

Heatpump worked properly, bed nice and firm.

Did not stay long enough to comment.

It was on our route from Christchurch to Queenstown. Facilities were basic but good.

A bit away from the town centre especially with kids.

The staff drinking on the job.

Very well appointed, clean room. The bed was really comfy. Room was warm and quiet.

This place is a gem. The room was very large and the kitchen and sofa area was a nice touch. Just a short walk or drive to the restaurants in town. It was very quiet and we would stay here again if passing thru in the future.

Nothing.

Friendly staff, clean, comfortable, close to town

Nothing

Location and the space is quite comfortable

Location. Cleaning lady excellent.

Shower a bit tight. Must be hard to clean. Notice about cooking smells.you wonder if bacon and eggs is okay ? Will you be charged extra.

The room was clean and the beds comfy!

Directions and booking in was clear and easy. Parking and privacy was as expected from a standard motel setup and the facilities were good. Room was a good size and bathroom provided all facilities. A good stay for a no-nonsense overnight stay

It was a bit unusual to have to wash your own dishes. Would have expected that it was part of the normal cleaning services.

Comfortable bed

None

We stayed here 2 years ago and very happy to return, looks like there has been upgrade of the rooms and very comfortable. Staff most friendly and welcoming. Thank you

Nothing of any concern.

We had a lovely overnight stay here at the Pinewood in Fairlie. Staff are all friendly and accommodating. The motel was very clean and comfortable with everything one might need for a quick meal if need be. We ate at the nearby Fairlie Pub, which was recommended and well worth it for the ale, food and banter. I think air freshener was a tad too liberally used in our room, but otherwise it was a perfect stay. Thank you.

Closeness to shops.

At the beginning the warning signs about what you can and can't do was a bit off putting. However the staff were friendly and informative.

Fairlie zelf is best charmant en voor uitvalsbasis naar Mount Cook prima. Het personeel was vriendelijk en de kamers schoon. Niet het nieuwste van het nieuwste, wel een fijn verblijf!

De wifi was niet zo goed in ons huis, weinig bereik. De douche is zonder douchebak, dus na het douchen is de wc/badkamer wel nat.. gelukkig genoeg handdoeken om even te drogen. Hadden vooraf betaald, maar moesten toch nog alle creditcard gegevens verstrekken.. dat was waarschijnlijk in geval van boete door overtreding van een van de (relatief veel aanwezige) regels.. aan de ene kant begrijpelijk en als je je gedraagt geen probleem.

It is a great location when travelling through this area and close to some good restaurants.

You have to take your shoes off before entering the room. Quite challenging to get it done and keep socks/feet dry and keep balance.

Clean and tidy

Nil

Clean and comfortable. Friendly welcome and the gentleman in reception was super helpful trying to help fix my husband’s broken walking pole!

Room decor a little bit tired, but this was not an issue for an overnight stop

cleanliness and staff

cold, hard lighting, couch was had weak support, bed was ok, but not very comfortable. Traffic was noisy at night. I thought the signage in kitchen was unfriendly towards foreigners.

Convenient and helpful host

the stuff was friendly

主幹道旁，夜間車流有點吵

friendly staff, comfortable bed great location,

Zeer aardige eigenaren. Hartelijk welkom. Mooie kamer. Goede bedden. Fijne douche. Mogelijkheid om buiten te zitten.

Geen mogelijkheid om verlichting te dimmen. Motel ligt aan de SH8 en daardoor wel wat autogeluiden op de kamer.

Was clean and comfortable, wi fi good, easy walk to shops etc.

Nothing all good

Light and spacious

Next to a noisy road with lorries passing all night

Comfortable stay in Fairlie with good in-room facilities.

Very comfortable, friendly manager.

Some road noise as we had our bedroom windows ajar.

Prima motel voor doorreis in Fairlie… alles is in kamer aanwezig maar basic… wel de beste pie-shop van het Zuidereiland 😉…

Niets

Zentrumnah

Alles gut

nice little place got everything we need thank you for the extra pillow provided 😊

all good

Comfortable rooms, quiet location

Staff weren’t easily available - check in and out times were very strict. No exhaust fan for the kitchen area.

Freshly renovated, very clean motel. The great location 39 mins from lake Tekapo and on the way to Christchurch. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

Clean large room

Front rooms near road can be a little noisy

Las instalaciones

El personal fue muy descortés, empezando que antes de llegar mandaron un mensaje pidiendo los datos de la tarjeta y que los pasara por fuera de booking. Nos cobraron 50 dólares porque salimos 10 minutos tarde de la hora del check out. Tenía todo cargado en el auto y nos demoramos trabajando con la computadora. Fue a decirnos que saliéramos pero ya había hecho el cargo en la tarjeta por la salida tarde. Muy fea la actitud de la muchacha. Salimos inmediatamente que nos dijo q estábamos tarde. Si ya había hecho el cargo, nos hubiera avisado y nos permitía quedarnos un rato más. Horrible experiencia. No lo recomiendo porque buscan cualquier pretexto para hacer el cobro extra.

Nice and quiet. Parking outside room. Overall a nice night stay

No access to plugs in the kitchenette had to put stove on microwave and boil the kettle on the floor in the bedroom which is dangerous. No blind in the bathroom felt exposed.

Location

Traffic noise diabolical. Double glazing needed. Kitchen facilities bare minimum. So many signs warning of extra charges - this is not friendly or welcoming

Last hotel on our New Zealand road trip. Good room with a sitting area outside. Comfortable bed.

Not crazy about the tight regulations on what you can cook, washing cups. A charge for taking away a milk bottle seems a bit over the top.

Coffee, tea, etc was not topped up during our stay

It’s proximity to where we wanted to go.

The unit was clean. It was easy to find on the main road. 30 minutes from Tekapo. A good alternative option.

Everything was fine.

C’était spacieux et propre. L’accueil était très sympathique

Comfortable and staff were very accommodating

Na

Very clean and comfortable. Not a lot of traffic noise.

Lighting was very dull. Difficult to read at night.

It was a basic motel , shower head needs fixing , kept dropping down , but it was clean. Needs updating.

Staff was friendly and the beds were very comfortable .

Bathroom needs some upgrade. No place to put soaps in the shower. Under sink cabinet was broken.

Close to where I needed to be

Unit was clean and tidy.

Road noise was loud early in the morning. Would have been nice to have tea bags and milk replenished as we stayed two nights.. Four tea bags for two people over two nights was a bit tight.

Would be nice to have more cooking and dining things

Comfortable beds, great price and value for money, nice bathroom.

On busy road but not really a noise problem. The no refill of tea and coffee rule after first day was odd since you are paying full price for each night.

Convenient location on the way to Tekapo, clean, spacious apartment with fully equipped kitchen

All good

Mooie ruime en propere kamer met een ruime badkamer. Parkeren voor de deur. In en uitchecken gaat heel vlot. Aanrader op doorreis van zuid naar noord.

The location was good with off road parking. The room facilities were good and the bed was very comfortable. Toiletries and washing up liquid, tea towel & dishwashing brush & cloth were provided along with two of everything - cutlery, dinner & tea plates, cereal bowls, glasses and mugs

All the notices telling us additional charges would be incurred for staining the bed linen, cooking pungent foods, despite the fact that the cupboards smelt of garlic, being a second over the 10.00am checkout time, leaving unwashed and undried crockery etc., etc.

We had a great stay in Pinewood, maybe the comfiest bed we ever slept on during our trip to NZ. Lovely lady at reception. Room had everything we needed for the night and even a kitchenette that we used as most restaurants were closed for Christmas. Would highly recommend!

Everything is well placed and up to mark.

Considering 2-bedroom apartment, the bathroom is not very great
