Comfortable, suited our requirements
Perfect for our needs. Nice to have pool on a hot day. Dated but comfortable. Would have been nice to have milk and ordinary teabags, only Earl Gray provided. Unfortunately very noisy people in unit next door, coming and going, very loud, until 4am. Would recommend

Good basic motel that allows you to bring your pet dog, which is a rare find. Very dated rooms and bathrooms but clean enough.

The motel is located next to the state highway, convenient to access, to 15 minutes from the Waitomo caves. The host, Margeret is very friendly and helpful. She provided milk when we checked-in, and also offered to dry our wet cloth that we got from the previous activity. Although the facility is not the newest but it's very clean and convenient. I am happy that we stayed there for the night.

We had a very enjoyable stay: friendly staff, very quiet room with no traffic noise. Clean room,comfortable bed and nice bathroom with high pressure shower.
Wifi would have been useful plus a small jug, so we can refill the kettle as the bathroom sink is too small to fit the kettle under the tap.

Great staff
We had a wonderful stay ! Very friendly staff that went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, even our washing which we were grateful for as we’d had a long day cycling! Quiet surrounds and the pool was very welcome. Highly recommend staying here!

Aged property, could do with an update. No face flannel nor toiletries other than 2 small soap bars. Ok for my requirements of an overnight stay. Overpriced.
