Eric’s one night stay in Cambridge

This is a charming little motel close to one of the most charming towns. The owner made sure we could check in early after our sleepless night flight into Auckland. We had a nice swim in the pool and the location is so quiet and in close proximity to the main part of the town.

Warm, spacious, well equipped and well located mot

Have stayed here a few times before as the units are spacious and well equipped, it has the full sky tv range and the location is excellent for both the expressway and the town's restaurants and shops. This time I was upgraded, with extra space and a walk in shower and the warm welcome included bottled water and the heater turned on for a warm entrance on a cold day. It was a quick overnight stay but we'll be back again.
