Very clean & comfortable room. Room amenities were over and above the standard of any other motel that we booked in NZ. Due to severe weather, our trip was delayed so the motel owners were very accommodating in letting us stay another night despite being heavily booked. Would recommend this motel to anyone travelling on the South Island. Close to dining options, walking distance to town centre and easy parking options.
