The neighborhood itself is quiet and pleasant. Since it's not a bustling city, we were worried about where to eat, but the owner kindly explained the neighborhood to us, and we werer able to enjoy a delicious pizza. The convenience store closes early, so make sure to stock up on water and other supplies beforehand.

10/10 for absolutely everything! First things first, Denis, our host was absolutely fantastic and accommodating for us to check in late so we can enjoy the lovely weather. He also gave us really good trail recommendations since our plans to do the Crossing have been cancelled. The room itself was big, clean, comfortable with a huge bed and new facilities in the bathroom and kitchen. The shower was a delight! And to top everything, there is a hot tub to enjoy after a long day of hiking. Best place in NZ so far.

This was the nicest motel anywhere we have ever stayed in. The rooms were a much higher level than you usually find in a motel. They were larger than expected and easily fit a family of four plus significant luggage with room to move. The beds were very comfortable and the double spa bath was AMAZING, we all had a lovely soak in it. The staff were lovely and helped us with washing facilities, and overall it was a very comfortable and pleasant stay, happy to recommend.

Great service. Jenny is very thoughtful welcoming and helpfull. She thinks of the little things that make a difference in comparison to other Motels I have stayed in such as turning the heat pump on so when I arrive the room is lovely and warm. I won't stay anywhere else when I'm working in Taumarunui. The unit is spotless, the bed is comfortable and the shower pressure is amazing. The unit has everything I need.

During his stay at the motel while working in the area, our data technician found plenty of positives: easy parking, felt safe and secure, a comfy bed, and the host was super helpful with a late check-out because of his late work hours. He'd definitely choose to stay there again in the future.

Very friendly cleaner who was most accommodating, but my idea of motels is not contacting the cleaner after 8.30am but reception when I want then. Nice bathroom products.

We have stayed in multiple motels like this where the rooms are a little dated. Don't let this put you off. The hosts are friendly, the rooms are very clean and well maintained, especially for their age.

Great motel, much bigger than expected. Room was lovely, away from the road. Comfy beds, huge bath - only disappointment was a late night ant invasion!! Also got the morning sun which the hotels over the road didn't!
