2 on Whiteleigh and 239 on Lincoln Motel
After a long travel day, staying at this hotel was a dream. After a quick, no fuss check in, it offered a comfortable stay, convenient for future travel plans on the Great Journeys New Zealand train, and close by to a few unique resturants. A great stay!

Bealey Quarter
The room was clean and very large with two queen beds and plenty of space for suitcases. There is a shared kitchen in the lodge building that was small but functional We parked our car but noticed every other space was taken. Perhaps there was another area to park that we did not see.
