The two bedroom unit was great, clean, comfortable and spacious. We ordered breakfast and received a delicious homemade continental breakfast in a generous portion. The spa in bathroom was also a bonus. Thanks to the family who own and operate the motel. You are doing a great job. Keep it up👏👍

Everything about the room was lovely EXCEPT the bed and bedding. All of the pillows provided were too high for me and I had a sore neck in the morning. The bed slumped to the middle. Oh and the tea selection wasn’t very good.

Friendly & helpful. Really helped to have a simple stovetop on top of microwave to cook with. Especially relieved to have the large grocery store open on & around public holiday vs Matamata which had theirs closed. Very walkable to eateries & bakery. Cute town.

We were not expecting much given this is a motel, but we were pleasantly surprised! The lady on the desk was so friendly and helpful. The room had a separate seating area and the room looked newly renovated. The kitchen was fully stocked and you could cook. The appliances etc looked new.
