Great location, great hosts and awesome facilities.
I loved my stay here and will be back in the future. The facilities are great, all modern and clean - the location was handy to the main centre. There is a great little outside courtyard area for relaxing in.

This is the future of motels. They do everything really well. Amenities and design is brilliant
There are so many great small details. Sconce lights activated on a sensor in the bathroom. Security locks that don't require a key or a card. Rooms are clean, fresh, roomy, SKY TV, adequately supplied appliances, utensils, coffee machine like the Nespresso ones, shower is brilliant, with instantaneous water heating and location is nearby everything. What's not to like? 10/10

As Good As It Gets
Everything you need for a home away from home... Kitchen, washer and dryer, bedroom split between living room and bedroom with two large TVs between each. Great wifi. Your own little patio outside. EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION. Clean and new. For the price point, the best hotel we stayed at on our three week journey through New Zealand.

Great Motel
This motel is a great find. Modern, thoughtfully furnished, very comfortable. USB charger power points, sensor lighting in the bathroom, kitchen well supplied. A short walk to town or the lake. Would definitely recommend.

By far the best
This little motel is by far the best we stayed in during our road trip in NZ. It's spacious, modern style with all conveniences you can think of: fully equipped kitchen, even a dishwasher, big bathroom with a great shower and a washing machine, a clothes drying rag on the little but sunny patio, of course a table and chairs there as well, very comfortable relaxing chairs (Stressless!) instead of a sofa, two big TV sets (which we didn't use), a high-class Bose-Box and of course comfortable beds. It was absolutely clean. View to the lake. Walking distance (15 min) to the town centre with plenty of stores, cafés, restaurants, pubs. Unbeatable price for such a big, modern and class accomodation.
