Clean Spacious Convenient
This motel has decent provisions with a kitchenette, large bed and good sized bathroom. Its nice park close to your room door so luggage transfer is a breeze. Nice to sit out on your own patio or the larger table in the lawn. Laundry facility worked out well. The front desk hostess was helpful with suggestions of places to eat and shop in town. The motel is within walking distance of the waterfront, national park visitor center and restaurant/shopping district.

Great place to stay. Very near to the lake front. Helpful host and staff. Kitchen is well equipped and a supermarket and a 4 square grocery store is near by, so making your meal is quite straight forward. But if you do not have time there are plenty of coffee bars, pubs and restaurants within walking distant at the town centre.
We can fully recommend this place.

Great place to stay and pet friendly. Bed comfy but a bit springy which cause some partner disturbances. Overall a great stay and good value. 2nd time there after 4 years.

This was our favourite accomodation in our 2 week trip in New Zealand. We loved the decor both in the room and the motel surroundings; bed was super comfy; the room was quiet; shower pressure was satisfyingly strong.
