Great overnight accommodation

The studio room had everything we required as a great place to stop off for an overnight stay. The centrally located motel gave us easy access to restaurants and car charging.

The Sierra Motel was exceptionally clean, the bed was comfy, and dishes were provided to use in the small kitchenette in our room. The staff was very friendly and they made the check in process sooo smooth. The room felt updated, the AC worked great, and you can tell the property is well taken care of. Highly recommend staying at the Sierra Motel!!

Loved this place. The room was freshly updated. Great kitchen with a washer/dryer (tho i couldn’t quite get the dryer bit to work) and even a small dishwasher. Big fridge. Been traveling in NZ for about three weeks - this is definitely the best place we’ve had. Would stay here again for sure.

Very nice little motel, doesn’t look like anything special from the outside but everything is new and clean inside! Kitchen/fridge were great; nice clean updated bathroom and comfortable bed. However … the wifi was nonexistent in our place. Not sure if it was just because we were in room 15 which was tucked away in a corner. As soon as we went outside towards the parking area we got wifi. So if you are going to need wifi during your stay definitely don’t end up in #15!

Great hotel! Friendly staff Wonderful stay

Adorable hotel, we had everything we needed. We could not find a hotel in Mt Cook Village OR Twizel, so we booked here. It was a nice way from Mt Cook but still doable. The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and warm
