I didn't like anything about this property. The picture shown is nothing like the room I was given. I was travelling solo and I was given a room that slept 5. The room was filthy and very uninviting. They are certainly not cleaning to a covid19 standard if in fact they are cleaning at all. The heater had been sat on and was caved in on the top. The TV remote fell apart into 3 pieces. The net curtains by the door were shredded. The drapes didn't fit the windows. The cutlery had dried food on it. The venetian blind on the front door hang with a gap at the side so privacy was an issue and it let the very bright light from the outside light in. The room smelt awful. The fire escape stairs were blocked by overgrown plants and rubbish. This was the most expensive motel on my 5 day trip and the worst I have ever stayed in. I will never book this motel again!
Old and in need of a complete renovation.
Furniture was old and worn out (covered by old bedding sheets) electric socket hanging out of the wall (held in with sellotape), no hot water in the kitchen, microwave was digusting - paint peeling off and covered in rust, no door on the toilet, bedroom door didn't fit so wouldn't close.
Heating was not would be expected in motels.
DEFINITELY NOT UPTO STANDARD OF MOTELS OF SIMILAR COST MOTELS.
No milk or creamer in the room. Only one small heater worked. No extra blankets are available. The curtain in the room riped and not heamed . Very rough.
I liked that the property was so close to town. I did not like the outside light which you cannot turn of shining in throgh the door all night. I did not like that there were no extra blankets or pillows. Yes I did ask for an extra blanket which took over 20 minutes to arrive.
This was a last minute family holiday and we decided to book this accommodation because we had a group. I will not recommend or ever stay at this property as it is so run down, dirty, was advertised for 3 rooms but there was 2 rooms and one bed downstairs in the lounge. The fridge was so old as well. This place truly needs a renovation.

It was great to have the room ready and a text in advance for instructions as accommodation was required on a public holiday...
I was not impressed with the puddle on the kitchen floor and the damp carpet after a previous occupier had turned off the fridge, causing the freezer part to defrost and the fridge to leak... Also, the curtains were thin/not covering the windows well to stop the outside security light from pouring in overnight... With the setup of the room, it made for a restless night's sleep...
thought room was on ground floor and bed room up stairs but all on first floor disappointed toilet seat broken and bathroom slider draw also broken.
good location in central town area
Not much to like here curtains to small for windows tape fixing stuff no soap toilet paper. I had to wake up owners when someones fire alarm was going 30min at 2sm
Great location, excellent service. Bed was quite hard, and we only had 3 seats for the dining area when we needed 4.

I paid just under NZD77 and reckon 10 dollars less should be more reasonable.
Good: central location without being noisy, 5 mins walk form supermarket. spacious room. has pretty much everything you need to cook. Nice & clean even though the property is pretty old.
Not so good. The tiny heater just not enough for this room. It was freezing cold in winter! The deadlock on the door was broken. The "clean" dishes weren't really clean but it probably had to do with the previous occupants who actaly did the clean up.
The motel is within close walking distance of a large supermarket, and easy walking distance of town. It is an older style of motel, but was clean, comfortable, and had everything one would expect.
Dirty, old, broken, ants everywhere, terrible beds, poorly lit. Incredibly hard to believe that this place has a 3 star rating. Definitely overpriced. The only thing we liked about it was that we only booked one night so we got to leave after a short time. Would not recommend this place at all.
The property was very dated! Smoke alarm had no batteries and was sitting on top of a cupboard. Electric blankets had bare cables and heating was poor.
Unfortunately the condition of the room was disappointing; alot of the lights did not work and most of the power points also did not work. We also had to go and get towels and toilet paper from reception.
The location is great and the price was pretty good. The room certainly did fit a family of 5 easily but was let down by the overall condition of the facilities.
