    Pros +

    • The fair cost for a family of four. The easy location.
    • The first motel I've stayed at that had decent lighting. I could actually read my book at night.
    • It was affordable.

    Cons -

    • It's not very clean. It's fine, we survived but wouldn't want to hang out longer than one night in it.
    • Seemed like a fairly new building compared to other units. Unfortunately the fixtures and fittings were on the cheaper side.
    • Stairs felt a bit wobbly. I have minor mobility issues. If I had known would had requested something downstairs. Had to ask for help to get tv working. Could not get hot water to work in bathroom sink.

    It was basic clean warm. That's all I needed for the night. I will return some day

    It was good. Nothing negative to say

    7AndreaPosted on: 4-30-2025

    The room was spacious, clean, had a kitchenette, bed was comfy. It was a budget motel, value for the money and provided us with a good place to rest for the night, with ample parking.

    The shower lining needed some maintenance but it didn't affect it's function.

    8TrevorPosted on: 4-21-2025

    No breakfast, location almost perfect for our specific needs.The bed was good, and the TV actually worked. We often have issues with bad signals, etc., in other places.

    It is budget accommodation, one should not expect too much, and overall it is fine, but it is getting a little worn around the edges here & there, for instance, the coating off the back shower panel was almost completely gone, exposing the wood & needs replacing fairly urgently, but I think things are being done & the industry has gone through some tough times, so budgets are restricted.

    Broken curtains,

    8RebeccaPosted on: 3-7-2025

    Cheap and cheerful, comfy bed and good facilities

    Bathroom light wasn’t working, floor made a bit of noise but otherwise perfect for what I needed

    7PeterPosted on: 3-5-2025

    Quiet and handy to Auckland

    Shower is dangerous for me as an old person - needs handles inside Also needs a couple of easy comfortable chairs

    5MikePosted on: 3-5-2025

    Disappointing

    Older style. Wouldn't stay again, shampoo container empty, half a roll of toilet paper, no soap ...

    6PatriciaPosted on: 2-2-2025

    Location good. Didn't have b/fast.Good for the price. Staff excellent.

    Could not park outside room. For two of the 3 nights

    6RobinPosted on: 1-27-2025

    Nice and clean but tired

    Low pressure in shower.Room was very hot in the late afternoon/evening

    3BeePosted on: 1-17-2025

    I liked that UT was close to where we needed to be

    The floor was soft under the feet, we didn't have enough towels and the shower leaked under the glass...

    8DaiPosted on: 12-30-2024

    Perfectly adequate.

    No tissues provided despite a warning to use them for makeup removal. Plug did not fit the basin. No non-slip mat in the bath. Shower gel dispenser was empty.

    8MonikaPosted on: 12-29-2024

    Close to Highway, though really pretty quiet.perfect for staying over night when travelling. Lovely river view.

    6StevenPosted on: 12-29-2024

    Super friendly proprietor. I had some unusual needs, and they went out of their way to help. Views over the fields to the river were very nice (for my tastes) and give the sense of really being out of the city).

    A lot of stuff was quite old. The curtains let in quite a bit of light. There is no air conditioner, though opening the windows gives plenty of refreshing cross-breeze (but open windows let in traffic noise). Amenities were quite basic.
