Fantastic service, from all staffing made the stay close to perfect. We stayed one night and went tramping for three days, on our return, the bag they were holding for us, was already in our room waiting, without being asked! Exceptional attention to detail!

From the moment I stepped into the office, I knew this Motel would be great. The owner was so lovely - I couldn't seem to get my key to open the door and she came straight to help me. The room, including bathroom, was extremely clean, it was warm, cozy and it had a spa bath, which was an added bonus.
The owner was friendly every time I saw her.
I stay in a lot of Motels and other accommodation and this was definitely one of the best - and the price was better than most Motels!
Thanks!

This is the second time I've stayed here. The rooms are a great size and there's ample room to spread out. We stayed a bit longer this time and made use of the (free!) laundry facilities. The staff are just delightful - the women at the front desk and the women making up the rooms were really helpful and accommodating, lovely with my daughter.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, spacious room with everything we needed. The hotel had excellent parking options, was so convenient too. Lots of dining options and great views from the rooftop bar

Lovely spot and easy to get to and from town, restaurants and the Burt Munro rally. Motel owner kindly dropped us off at a venue which was appreciated as the weather was not kind.

Room was spacious and spotless. It’s in a heritage building with a lot of character. The rooms are modern and have all amenities, like a home away from home. The staff were friendly and provided good local knowledge. I can’t fault this Quest apartment.
