Not located in the city centre but convenient enough if you have a car (parking readily available on-site). Check-in staff were friendly and the room was very spacious and clean, with ample heating. It would have been good if the bathroom windows had fly screens so they could be left ajar without a lot of mosquitoes coming inside.

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was big & well set up. Quality furnishings & very clean. Very comfortable. This has to be without a doubt the best motel I have ever stayed in whilst travelling around NZ. Great value for money. So close to a great park & easy walk to the CBD & supermarkets.

Luxury and EV friendly

The outside looks simple and nice. The rooms are more luxurious than you’d think, especially the bathrooms. That shower is one of the best I’ve tried in NZ. The main reason we’ll come back though is the free EV charging on the new chargers they installed. Very convenient.
