Wenn man mit dem Auto unterwegs ist, ist es die beste Unterkunft, man ist schnell in der Innenstadt mit reichlich kostenlosen Parkplätzen, aber auch schnell zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Gegend! Einen Gaysier sieht man direkt vom Garten aus

6/10 Good

Family of 5, Stayed 1 night unit 4, 2 bedrooms and sofa bed in lounge. Polite staff. Dated kitchenette and bathroom - constant leak from bath that manager not able to resolve. Location was fine for what we needed. Think $290/night could have got better facility and value elsewhere

The accommodation is basic but all you need. A well equipped kitchen and plenty of room-two bwdrooms with a decent sized lounge. Well located and great value for money.
Kate, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

You had 2 portable heaters no heat pump. Power kept teipping out when yiu ran bohj heaters you had to go down stairs to wash in the cold damp bathroom. Your room key accesses another room so your property wasn't safe. The bath leaked tge water out as the plug provided was the wrong one. Cleanliness was lacking sink was marked not seen bleaching for quite sometime and carpet needed a vacuuming.. You had to park in your allocated space even though the csr psrk was to small for larger cars.

The service at the front desk was good and the staff were very friendly. The bedroom itself was okay but the bathroom and toilet was stained and dirty. Unfortunately because of that I would not stay there again.
Shane, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK value for money but not outstanding

The motel room was large and the bed fine. The upstairs room was large but the steps to get included a narrow landing. The car parking was very tight. If there had been a couple of twin cabs we would have been in trouble. The room was not air conditioned and quite hot on the February night we stayed there.Overall the motel is a bit tired but ok value for money.

2-night trip

6/10 Good

An older property. More of a 2 star place. Needs A/C, or at least fly screens on windows. Upstairs extremely hot & stuffy on hot nights. Got sick from having the fan on at night. Location next door to geyser is good, though smell can be intense initially (you get used to it). Parking is awkward. Communal laundry. Pleasant staff.

직원이 너무 친절한 곳.

직원이 너무 친절해서 인상적인 곳. 조용하고 두 개 층으로 사용 공간이 넓지만 전반적으로 시설이 낡았고, 방음이 안돼 옆 방 계단 오르내리는 소리도 크게 들림. 위치가 좋아서 리모델링만 조금 한다면 추천하고 싶은 곳.

Excellent place.... Little bit older property but had everything needed... Enjoyed it...

10/10 Exceptional

Two-level motel - my grandsons had the bedroom on the ground floor and I had my bedroom up top - where the kitchen and TV was. (haha). The main bedroom has a small en-suite - nice not having to go downstairs to use the toilet at night! Very well-located at the end of Fenton St and so close to the restaurants. We enjoyed our stay.

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay

Adequate for our needs considering the good price. Very near the geyser, walking distance to Maori village. Town centre is a short drive away. Some stains and a bit of paint peeling off, but otherwise clean. Kids enjoyed the free Netflix though WiFi was not too consistent.

Zimmer war groß (2 Etagen) und sauber, neuer großer TV, funktionelle Kochnische, gute Lage. Das Zimmer hatte zwei Bäder. Das kleine Badezimmer direkt am Schlafzimmer war deutlich zu klein. Die Parkplätze sind bei voller Belegung des Hotels eine Herausforderung.

Didn't like the lack of sports channels on the TV. Bathroom was pretty dated. Single beds too small. Liked the amount of space in the unit

Nice greeting, very very tired and old , could do with a big paint job , jandles found under the beds , ( not ours ) old style heating , bathroom tired and old , cracks in the walls , we stayed in unit 8 , so upstairs downstairs. Shame really if it was clean and updated it would be nice . Until it’s redone I wouldn’t recommend it.
