Good sized room and very clean. The shared kitchen had everything you needed and was kept super clean. While they provided a fan for the room and had it on for us when we arrived, the room was very warm. Other than that was perfect for what we required

Well suited to those folks who need a bed for the night(s), while busy during the day in New Plymouth. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Perfect value for money lodgings. I would definitely stay again. The only downside worth noting is that the walls are a little thin. You will hear conversations and the TV from your neighbours.

Nice hotel close to town easy to find.
Loved staying at Te Henui lodge the receptionist was very lovely and welcoming. The lodge was very clean and the facities were really good. The decor in the room was on point no extreme overload. The only let down we had was when getting out of the shower the hand basin was right there. Not much space in the bathroom in our room. However we would recommend this lodge to others who are traveling.

I have stayed here multiple times now when in town for a couple of days on business. Love arriving to a room that feels welcoming because the lights are on, TV quietly playing in the background, and in Summer has a fan going - make me feel expected and welcome. Rooms are always clean, and the beds comfortable. Only warning - Walls/ceilings a bit thin, so can sometimes hear the 'neighbours' moving about.

Three night stay to look about the area
Not really a hotel, more a student accomodation block for the adjoining technical institute. Also appearing to cater for other long time residents. So a bit like a youth hostel with separate rooms. The room I had with my daughter was a double twin which we used as a base to go out and explore the city and nearby region. It had a toilet and shower which was wheelchair accessable ( not for us just mentioning). It had a fridge, microwave and electric jug. Tea and coffee was provided along with linen. There was a comunal kitchen, tv room, games and social room. There is an outside courtyard with tables and bbq. None of which we used. The staff are friendly and helpful. The facilities were very clean and tidy. Fresh linen was provided when needed. It is within easy walking distance of the CBD. The only negative comment I have is that I found it quite noisy at night and ended up buying some earplugs. On saying that we live in the middle of nowhere so it might not be a problem for most.

Room was very clean and tidy. Bed and pillows not overly comfortable but fine for our quick one night stay. Very warm room. The lip into the bathroom was a hazard, tripped on that multiple times.

Cleanest accommodation by far
We were looking for accommodation in New Plymouth and jumped on Wotif. Based on other positive reviews, we booked in for one night. The staff were so friendly upon check in and then when we got to our room we were so surprised at how clean and comfy the rooms were. There was the effects of the ex-tropical cyclone Gita on the coast and so we spoke with reception the next morning and reviewed local weather forecasts and decided to stay another night in New Plymouth rather than moving on to Wellington as we had first planned. Again, the staff were so friendly and informative and it was very easy to stay in the same room for an extra night. We stayed in a range of places in our time in NZ and this is by far the cleanest and friendliest place we stayed and they have the best showers and most comfortable beds. I would not hesitate to stay here again. At first, it may seem like a strange location, as it is in the grounds of the Institute of Technology, but this is a tiny matter and should not be a barrier to anyone staying here.

I was a bit annoyed that someone was using a jackhammer around 730am at the back of the motel. I was still a bit sleepy but Couldnt go back to sleep because of the noise so I just took a shower and checked out

The staff were very friendly. Unit was clean and tidy with all amenities needed. Only disappointment was that we were not supplied with any face washers. Heating was great, bed very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was the best we have had in a motel for a long while. Gaming room was a great added bonus

Excellent Place to Stay
From the moment we arrived till we left two days later our stay was excellent. The owners and staff were helpful and welcoming. Our room was spotless, bed comfortable, amenities all we needed included TV, own private bathroom with shower that had instant heat and wonderful pressure. Grounds were beautifully laid out, had picnic tables, BBQ and lovely grassed area. There was a large kitchen facility, TV lounge and pool table area. We will recommend and shall return.

Good value lodge style
Rooms are newly painted and kept very tidy and clean, basic amenities all there although a couch would have been nice. Located on the WITT campus it is not so easy to find, Street address a bit misleading and really need a car to get to shops. But overall an enjoyable stay, will probably go back there on my next stay in New Plymouth.

저렴하지만 실속있는 선택
에어컨은 없고, 큰 선풍기가 있다. 여름에는 좀 덥다. 전원콘센트가 적어서 불편했다. 값이 저렴한대신 세면대, 화장실, 테이블이 작다. 그러나 인터넷은 느려도 안정적이어서 괜찮았다. 3일에 한번씩 청소하는 것은 오히려 나에겐 좋았다. 값이 저렴하지만 웬만큼은 갖추고 있어서 큰 기대만 하지 않는다면 괜찮다.

Sehr schöne Lodge in New Plymouth.
Die Lodge ist insgesamt in einem sehr guten Zustand und auch die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und bemüht. Die Zimmer an sich sind nicht so groß und das Bad nicht sehr gut ausgestattet. Dafür gibt es einen sehr gepflegten Gemeinschaftsbereich mit Garten und schöner, großer Küche. Theoretisch ist es möglich ins Stadtzentrum und zum Park zu laufen, aber ein Auto ist eindeutig vorteilhaft. Preis-Leistung auf jeden Fall super.
