Nice handy location to Palmerston North City Centre and also to the pools where we were competing. We loved the outdoor area and our room was nice and handy to the pool. We had dinner outside on the big communal table in the middle of the outdoor area and the kids loved the basketball hoop.

Friendly, helpful staff and we loved the outdoor area which has plenty to keep kids entertained.Really comfortable and has everything you need for your home away from home (great for families)
It was dated but it was very clean. The management were doing maintenance (painting etc) while we were there so they are making improvements as I write this
We would have extended our stay here if we didn't pre-booked the other. The room had all the basics we needed. Well equipped kitchen, tidy and comfortable beds. The kids loved the pool and the basketball court. Walking distance to the Mall, Pubs and Grocery shopping. Thank you for having us.
Everything was perfect
Nice an comfortable, my children were happy, so we were happy parents...
Just outside by the back sliding doors wooden floor boards were very old wood, my son fell through one an sprained his ankle. I suggest you look at replacing the floor boards, not safe at all, wouldn't look to good if the health an safety team showed up. rooms 4 an 5.
Great location. Friendly staff. Clean rooms.
Good motel for groups with all the rooms opening to a communal grass and pool area.And there was an oven - hardly any motels have room facilities like this anymore.
It was close to everything we needed, the lady at the front desk was friendly.
We could hear every little sound coming from next door, didn’t get much sleep.
Great comfortable stay for family of 4
Pool isn't heated
Our unit was comfortable, clean, exactly what we expected. The staff were friendly and provided us with everything we asked for ie extra towels for pool. Guests were thoughtfully placed throughout the complex giving privacy and no noise from other people staying. The pool was great, deep for little ones but with the provision of noodles and pool toys they had so much fun and in just three days gained so much confidence. The provision of balls, basketball hoop, nets and bats provided a great family space.
Friendly, personable team, smooth check in and out.Great pool and activities for the family. Walking distance to town.
Beds were comfy, Kitchen was great, primo having free wifi and sky. Great outdoor space for the kids.
Loved the relaxing view and space outside the room (instead of a usual courtyard view of cars). Excellent view of pool and other facilities. Great friendly owner!. Will be staying in future there.

Great value for money. Jess was so accommodating. .are our stay so much better.
The bed was a tad too soft.
Very central, tidy spacious room, comfortable and warm, outdoor area for kids, lovely staff
Lovely room, clean and very comfortable beds. Kitchen nicely set up and very clean.
Tap on shower not easy to set. No coffee plunger or similar. The beds are a bit close. Those were very few things.
Room was comfortable, clean and warm. All facilities of good quality.
Great location, friendly staff.
Kitchen area and bathroom could do with a bit of a refresh, but were clean and functional. Work being done around the motel though, so possibly this may be part of that.
