ONLY downer was the lack of USB plug ins. Everything else was spot on. Comfy bed and pillows. Great shower. Well stocked kitchen. Great location. Everything a short walk away including a fantastic coastal path.

Modern, comfortable and walkable to city centre
This motel is in a great location about 15 minutes walk from the city centre and the water front. The rooms are very nice and modern, the bed is super comfortable and the TV has Netflix. A lovely place to base yourself for a stay in New Plymouth.

Great location riding bike to Te rewa rewa bridge.
Room was clean and owner was friendly. We took the motel bikes ride through the woods, beach then arrived Te rewa rewa bridge. Total about 4 km. Both the bike ride and view were amazing.

Amazing!
We have stayed here a number of times now and I must write this as we are always so impressed with the cleanliness of this place every time they exceed our expectations it is just refreshing to see. Also great value but as we are prior owners of a domestic cleaning business in New Plymouth they should be very proud of the service they provide. Thanks so much Rog & Rayne Van Biene

Very good motel. It's a bit away from the centre of town but probably the best of its type in town. It is close to major roads but very quiet at night. I would definitely go back if I am back in New Plymouth.

A Real Motel That Ticks All The Boxes.
Handy to town and access right onto the main road into and out of New Plymouth. Stayed at the Lockwood Manor Motel about eight or nine years back and found it a great experience - from memory it was exceptionally comfortable clean and tidy then. Fast forward to 2018 and we were blown away that it appeared even more cleaner and tidier and in better condition. The old Lockwood all-timber construction might be a dated architectural technique today, but the Lockwood Manor is proof of its lasting appeal and pleasing charm. The motel unit was beautifully clean, top to bottom, bathroom to bedroom to kitchenette, and looking at the garden surroundings, you can tell the proprietors have real pride in their property. Typical motel-type parking available immediately outside each unit. Can't go wrong really. It's a motel that ticks all the boxes. Fantastic place. We had the perfect stay. We highly recommend the Lockwood Manor Motel for any family or traveler looking for comfortable spacious units for business or pleasure in New Plymouth.
