Location was fantastic, close to everything yet still quiet enough to get a good nights sleep. Clean, modern room, comfortable bed and shower facilities. Even loved the makeup towel, nice touch, as i hate leaving white towels with makeup on it. Amazing for the price we paid. Will use again.

The owners could not do enough including bringing our washing into the room, also the little touches such as chocolate on the bed and hand cream by the bed. Location is brilliant

Really impressed with the overall experience. Our 1 bedroom apartment was like a home away from home. A good size, well appointed, modern, quiet and exceptionally clean. I would recommend to anyone needing accommodation at that end of town.

Great service. Jenny is very thoughtful welcoming and helpfull. She thinks of the little things that make a difference in comparison to other Motels I have stayed in such as turning the heat pump on so when I arrive the room is lovely and warm. I won't stay anywhere else when I'm working in Taumarunui. The unit is spotless, the bed is comfortable and the shower pressure is amazing. The unit has everything I need.

During his stay at the motel while working in the area, our data technician found plenty of positives: easy parking, felt safe and secure, a comfy bed, and the host was super helpful with a late check-out because of his late work hours. He'd definitely choose to stay there again in the future.

Very friendly cleaner who was most accommodating, but my idea of motels is not contacting the cleaner after 8.30am but reception when I want then. Nice bathroom products.

We have stayed in multiple motels like this where the rooms are a little dated. Don't let this put you off. The hosts are friendly, the rooms are very clean and well maintained, especially for their age.

Great motel, much bigger than expected. Room was lovely, away from the road. Comfy beds, huge bath - only disappointment was a late night ant invasion!! Also got the morning sun which the hotels over the road didn't!
