We chose this motel for its proximity to Tongariro National Park. It is rather old and worn in terms of furniture and kitchen/bath fixtures, but it had everything we needed, and there were a few unexpected extras like a fan (no AC), hair dryer, and heated mattress pad (did not use). Was also convenient to town about 1/3 mi away. Screens would have been nice in the windows, and parking lot is very tight (painted lines might help) with people randomly parking poorly. The restaurant was not open during our stay. There is a small hut right outside the parking lot available for coffee/breakfast but we left before 7 am when they opened each day.

Nice little spot by the river. Busy little motel with difficulty getting a pass rking spot unless you grab one early.

Needs updating.
Housekeeping needs work. Door locking issues which were unable to be remedied during our stay due to Xmas close down. Sofas in need of updating. Good kitchen facilities. Good shower. Comfy beds.

Okay for value!
This is an okay place for the price. It was clean but old and basic. That was a good option for a last minute booking, at a lower price.

This was just a one night stopover to break trip from Wellington to Auckland. Comfortable room for the night. Restaurant onsite provided a very enjoyable meal. Even though on major road, very quiet stay

Don’t stay
Clean enough and comfortable beds, however had to ask twice for enough towels, no light in bathroom (reported but not fixed) kitchen area and equipment inadequate. Not sufficient seating for number of beds. No hot water on 2nd morning, ( more units occupied) towel rail and curtain pole loose ( both fell off).

Very comfortable accomodation for our overnight stay. All facilities were available for self catering, or restaurant was located on site. The units were quiet, staff friendly and obliging. We will happily stay in future when travelling through the area.

The hot tub was not working (#1 reason for choosing it). The playground was very basic (a slide & a baby swing). We booked a room for 2 adults and 1 child & there was only 2 towels. Check in was pretty vague (no directions to room). No breakfast available as they only do it if 9 or 10 people want it. Which was definitely not as advertised and inconvenient. (Wouldn't you offer at least something to get the revenue?). The restaurant was surprisingly higher quality than the rest of the experience. The heater in our room did not work & the curtains did not block out the lights that were on all night. Slightly disappointing but nowhere near as bad as the back packers at National Park.

So many things did not work (fridge, lights, spa) but staff pretended they did. Weird place and people in room next to us had a large rifle. Felt unsafe.
