This motel has new young Kiwi owners who have just finished renovations - the rooms are beautiful and freshly decorated. It's a great location - walking distance to a huge range of restaurants and bars and the beach and Mount. Highly recommended.

Great location and walking distance to some shops. Good parking. The only negative was that there was quite a bit of road noise especially on Friday and Saturday night. Would recommend and will be returning.

Management went above and beyond expectation. Had a couple of small problems with the room and they upgraded me for the rest of my stay. They checked in to make sure everything was okay. Shops and cafes are in walking distance. Couldn’t ask for a better location.

Toilet seat broken, wash basin stained and dirty, Ants all over lounge/kitchen floor, No desk area in living space, connections on wall suggested there had been one under TV. Room was spartan and basic. One small shelf for suitcase, very few surfaces to put your luggage etc on. Have stayed in the past, but not again.

Just average

Was just ok. There was long hair in the “clean fridge” and we discovered no spare toilet paper at 11.30pm when we ran out. Close to Main Street, restaurants and shopping. Good off street car park.
