Good for 1 night stay
We had a one-night stay that was just what we needed. However, it could have been better if the neighbors weren’t a basketball team that kept throwing Haka in the middle of the night. It wasn’t the hotel’s fault, but since it was 10 p.m., no one answered the phone.

Handy to train station and town.
Walking distance to train station and town. Easy parking. Older type motel. Shower curtain needs replacing in bathroom, otherwise very clean and comfortable. Good value for price.

Convenient and comfortable
Comfortable bed, large room with everything you need. Shuttle bus to meet you at the station was a bonus. The motel is located in the road above the station. Close to the centre and supermarkets. The only downside was some loud guests who carried on until midnight without any regard for others.

The outside of the property is clean and tidy and has been recently updated, but rooms are a little tired - understand new owners and are doing it up as they can. Facilities were fine for an overnight stay from TranzAlpine.

Nice motel on edge of town
Pleasant and good value with a view across town. Easy walk to wharf and town centre. Shower is hot and lots of water
