Staff very helpful in arranging midnight check in and allowing check out after 10am. Large room and comfortable beds. Would definitely use again if in the area.,
Nothing to dislike.
A lovely warm welcome and accommodating of late check out request. Easy parking outside room. The lemon tree outside my room was a bonus!
Perfect for an early morning ferry trip. Close to town. We deliberately booked a smaller unit. Whilst compact, it had everything we needed for a very short stay. We got what we paid for and would book again in similar circumstances.
Nothing to do with the.motel itself, but a punter snoring next door kept us awake for much of the night ?
As a motel this was fine, about 15 minutes walk from the city center. Helpful staff, a quiet location in a very nice small town. Local people very friendly, we were asked twice if we were lost or needed a lift. A good nights sleep,
The location is excellent. Only about 400m to the CBD
Parking was a little tight, but they are making the best of what they've got, space-wise.
Good location
Bathroom could have done with an extractor fan and a mirror over the vanity sink… it did have a mirror but was on the wall behind so when shaving I had to keep turning around so a mirror above sink would have been far more practical. Minor problem really just a preference.
Location
Leaking ceiling Fire alarm going off at 3am in morning (Battery Low)
Excellent service and friendly staff, comfortable bed.
Property is a little older than photos suggest and no sound proofing, made for a disruptive stay.
We loved that it was minutes from the harbour to the motel,it was easy to check in and the staff very friendly.
I just feel that after a long trip on the boat it would be great to get in to a hot shower with pressure. The only thing I didn't like was that the shower was not up to standard.
Convenient for ferry . Everything you needed to self cater.Proprietors were very friendly and even gave us a lift to the ferry.
Needed refurbishing
Location was perfect for our needs which was an early ferry to Wellington. Staff friendly and helpful
Very dated furnishings and facilities.
Great location close to the ferry terminal. Short distance to amenities. Spacious unit
easy walking to the shops. and just down the road from the ferry
The smoke alarm went of in our room at 02.19am. No one came to see if we where all right. This alarm flashed on and off for the rest of the night.
Lovely motel situated within walking distance of the town. Nice & quiet with parking outside my door. Towels smelt fresh & clean & were supersoft.Will stay here again I'm up this way
We were greeted by a lady and a man at their reception office. The man was cheerful and friendly handling our checking ins, however I do not appreciate the lady with the condescending manner of “CHECKING OUT TOMORROW IS BEFOREEEE 10AM” like we are someone who has hearing problem (FYI, we are not local). So we did check out way before 10AM.
Quiet motel needs a refurbish. Adequate for 1 night pre ferry crossing.
Large clean and tidy unitsBeing set back from SH1 road noise was low
Access when travelling from south. Difficult to do a right turn with high traffic volumes
