Our stay was great! Freshly renovated & very clean rooms, comfortable bed, a short walk into the center of town, easy check in process - free washer and dryer facilities (huge bonus!) as well as plenty of parking. Even though the lodge was fully booked during our stay & located near a main road the rooms were nice and quiet. Look forward to staying again in the future.

Room was a great size, clean and tidy, had everything we needed. Loved the two recliner arm chairs in the room, was great to be able to relax on comfortable chairs instead of having to sit or lay on the bed. The cleaning staff were friendly and the owner was very kind as well. She had a lemon tree at the front of the property and I asked to buy a few lemons but she wouldn’t accept any money and gave them for free which I really appreciated.

Lovely room, great spa bath and comfortable bed. Easy walking distance to the city centre and very convenient for SH1 North and South.
The only minus is the lack of any clothes storage in the room - no wardrobe or chest-of-drawers.
Highly recommended for short-stays up to a few days. Would recommend for longer (we stayed 4 nights) if they sort out the storage - there is at least plenty of room for a few drawers.

Friendly Valley

Staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. My reservation that I booked through hotels.com was supposed to be a 1 bdrm unit with kitchen but we were put in a studio. The receptionist showed me that we paid for the studio price even though our paperwork described the 1 bdrm. So when they received the money and reservation from hotels.com they booked us in the studio. So there is a miscommunication between the hotel and hotels.com. The room was fine, the beds were uncomfortable only because the mattresses were caved in/not firm in some spots but we had enough pillows to fill in the gorges. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful!

Dated Motel

This motel was old and dated. The sofa bed was old, smelled and fabric was split and worn. The shower leaked. The extraction in bathroom was noisy. The bed was uncomfortable. The parking was minimal and poor. No play area, pool or grass area. Basically a concrete jungle. Only one unit had a separate room.

Traffic noise vs good location

Clean room. Easy check-in. Good location next to main road, but bad location from standpoint of vehicle noise. Close to restaurants and downtown.

Lovely comfortable motel on the main road

Beautifully clean and comfortable motel unit. Was lovely to return to after a day out and to just relax, either in the spa bath or with a cup of tea. Although it was on the main road we couldn’t hear any traffic noise. The beds were really comfortable and we had a really restful nights sleep. The motel staff were all really friendly and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and it was an absolute pleasure to stay there.

It was just what we were looking for.

Friendly service at the reception, so welcoming and nice. Great rooms, clean and the bathroom was massive. Loved the plunger coffee too. It’s close to the hospital which is what we needed, and easy to get to facilities of take out food and groceries. Would recommend..

A nice place for a day or so.

The room is very comfortable with a large screen TV. Air conditioning would have been nice but without that the ceiling fan was used 24/2 during our stay. Even then it got warm and stuffy inside the room when the door was closed. Touring around town was pleasant though a little scary and the local traffic always seemed to be in a hurry. There were lots of places to go and see close by.

A conveniently located motel

My wife and I stayed 3 nights. It is a clean and comfortable studio with no frills and a price that reflects that. Management and staff were friendly and obliging. The only negative is that being on a main road there is traffic noise - something that could be improved with double glazing.
