It was our 2nd time staying at Tower Junction Motor Lodge. We really like it because it has everything we need and its within walking distance to the Mall and to the Tower Junction shopping Centre. We also appreciated the lift to our day on the TranzAlpine train.

Stayed three nights in Towers Junction Motel and had a great time there. The location is convenient for food, coffee and shopping centre. The owner Prince is very friendly. We had four adults in the group and required to do laundry before we went out in the morning, he would wake up at 7:30 to open the laundry room for us. Truly recommend this place
