We stayed for a night. We could park right outside our room so moving our luggage was a breeze. It was close to city center too. The room was clean and the front desk was friendly. We had an enjoyable night.

Had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Room was bigger than most we've stayed in NZ. Wish our stay could have been longer. Mark at the front desk is so helpful! Hot tubs up in the trees above the motel are a nice touch (private and reserve ahead).
Would definitely stay again!

Good location walkable to centre of town.
Staff in reception were excellent and helpful.
Coffee, soaps etc were of top quality.
Units are a little small for a family of 4 in regards to storing luggage but you can make it work.

A nice room for an overnight stay. Bed was comfortable, room was large, and overall clean. The hot tub was a nice touch - make sure you call to reserve the tub. The “porch” is simply some chairs on the walkway in front of the room by where the cars park - not a private area. Easy walk to the lake and beautiful walking path around the lake. Lots of shopping and food options nearby.
