What a lovely gem of a place. Check in was easy, the room was spotless and comfortable, and the owner was lovely. The beds were so comfy, we joked that we’d take them with us. Oh, and there is a cat who was the highlight for myself and my friends (all kitten fosterers). Highly recommended if you find yourself in Levin.

Older motel but very good location suited my needs. Quiet and comfortable. Great service. I was late checking in and they left the key in the room and turned on the lights for me.

At check in I was greeted with a warm welcome from Bo and Jane. The room was large and although dated was clean and functional. The motel is located in a quiet street close to supermarkets, restaurants and bars.

Hi. We aloud you an early checkin with no extra cost. Don't know how thick you would like sheets. Was electric blanket, blanket, duvet on bed and heat pump in room. Never had a complaint about thickness of sheets before, I guess always a first. Seemed happy on departure. Sorry the motel wasn't up to your standards. Cheets

Jill was amazing!! We told her we were off to a wedding and when we returned she had chilled some water, organized coffee and plunger and found some snacks so we were fully prepared for the drunkenness and hangover! She was so friendly on check in. The room itself was very clean and well presented with more than we would need. Will DEFINITELY go there again
