"Central Park Motel is a good place to stay, clean room with adequate amenities. The grounds need tending to, but other than that its a nice place to lay your head for the night"

Cute place to stay
"Nice place to stay for the night, -- mind your head when you are upstairs. A shame that it's not facing west to take advantage of the evening sun. Even so, very warm -- the fan was definitely needed."

Visit was to brief to have an opinion. We only spent 9hrs there. It seems a good base for lots of scenic activities.

It has a real kiwi small town feel. There are a few hidden gems that you will have to vist to discover for yourselves. The locals know and if you ask nicely they may share a few with you. The bakeries are where sugary dreams come true.....YUM
