"This is a classic Kiwi motel, complete with original 1970s features. I hope they never change it. The owners are lovely and kind. The rooms are spotlessly clean, with everything you need for your stay. It was quiet and peaceful, in a great location, looking out at the river yet very close to the centre of town. I’m so glad I stayed here. "
"Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich. Unser Zimmer war sehr sauber und geräumig. In der Waschküche konnten wir unsere Wäsche waschen. Das Motel ist zentral gelegen. Gerne wieder."
"All round excellent value. Hostel Alex went above & beyond. Let me use their water hose to wash my car and glass cleaner as well. Clean and modern suites. I highly recommend the place."
