Nice place to stay

Great place to stay. However, we booked our room based on pictures of a large spa bath. The spa did not worked and when asked, were told they are not sold as spa units and they might work one day and not the next. Ours did not work as a spa bath at all.

This room was lovely and warm with great heat pump. The spa bath was excellent. Nice comfy bed. Great kitchen facilities. It's a shame that the kitchen cupboard under the sink wasn't fixed properly, it's a nuisance to shut. None of the heat lamps work in the bathroom, as there is no other heating in the bathroom, it makes for an unpleasant experience getting out of the shower in a cold bathroom. 4 heat lamps don't go out at the same time, so I think these haven't been going for a long time. It's a shame the motel attendant didn't pop over and turn on the heat pump so the room was warm when I arrived last night, as I booked online 15 mins before I arrived.

9.5/10 - great option for a short family stay

the only 2 things that could have been better, were the tv mount (mounted high and angled slightly up) and power outlets in less awkward locations. so all in all, a great motel.

Two things, I would have liked to see. .1. The option of having a light breakfast, without having to go out and buying it. .2. I have found in my tripping around around the last week and staying in different places, no one had a folder of emergency numbers, recommended places to eat, and recommended places to visit to me, those folders were part of customer service .

Comfortable and spacious apartment

This was our first accommodation in New Zealand and we were really impressed by the comfort, cleaniness and spaciousness of the apartment. The beds were comfortable, nice shower, complete kitchen and far enough from the road to not hear the passing traffic. Owners were super friendly as well when we overslept and requested for a later check out.

The decor was a little dated and the couch was quite uncomfortable.

Great Motel with Friendly Proprietor.

Very friendly owner made stay enjoyable (ask him about his 12 cylinder Toyota). Room was very well presented with satellite channels and Netflix. Everything was exceptionally clean and the motel is handy to the town centre. It is located with a group of hotels off the highway and is easy to find. A good base for discovering the Canterbury countryside.

Great position, away from the main road. clean and comfortable, Great laundry facilities on site, very friendly housekeeping staff. My only comment would be that it's not really for business people, with wi-fi available, unlimited but strictly monitored with Gigabytes handed out by voucher code. If you stay here there's a pool, and I'd thoroughly recommend a visit to the Aircraft Museum a few clicks down the road - a good hour or two's visit for ten bucks.
