Clean and tidy. Near enough. Older building with elements renovated. Not a King size bed as advertised, but a comfy enough queen. No soap in bathroom, or shampoo, conditioner in shower, though there was shower gel.

There was a lack of basics - no tissues in the room and when we asked for some, none were provided. There was no towel rail in the bathroom and we had to ask for one which we had to put in the lounge area. There was no dishrack - the owner told us that no-one was using them so they removed them all! How would they know that??? And there was nothing except a couple of chairs to put things, ie when getting undressed to get in the shower, there wasn't anywhere in the bathroom to put your clothes.

The motel unit was "dated", but was exceptionally clean, well-heated, spacious and very well equipped. The area where the motel is sited is quiet, despite being situated alongside a main road. Apart from anything else, this motel is among the more reasonably-priced offerings in Invercargill and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
