Older small motel near SH 1 (Kapiti expressway) which is dated but good housekeeping and friendly staff with view of wilderness area and handy to shops.
Ann
Lovely green areas accessible from the ground level unit
Mary
Staff are very nice and accommodating
Jarad
Best place to stay in kapiti region. Owners are awesome and such a nice place to just chill and nice views of the bush from the room. Thanks!
Ngahuia
Property is fine for a shortstay, the bathroom has been updated so that was great. The rest of the rooms all need updating. The outside could do with a waterblast and a tidy up, as the wild life leave deposits outside the doors and on patio . There was a gap under the kitchen door that needs to be mended as was drafty.
colin
Comfortable accomodation with a good outlook.
Jayde
Perfect little place to rest your head with a well accessible bathroom and kitchen. I would stay here again.
colin
Enjoyable stay.
Marian
Good basic room. A pleasant outlook - I spent an hour watching pukekos on the lawn while I enjoyed a coffee at the little outdoor table. Very comfortable bed. Disappointed to find no breakfast was available despite it being listed in the description of the motel.
Heidi
The room had everything we needed. Modern bathroom. Room was dated but clean and tidy.
Jeff
Clean room plenty of parking
Phillipa
Lovely staff. Clean and comfortable, bed was very good. Kitchen had everything I needed.
Cold tap in the kitchen and heat pump weren’t working but I didn’t need them so didn’t ask for a fix (just let staff know upon leaving).
Room smelt quite strongly of fragranced cleaners and water is heavily chlorinated so bring a filter if necessary.
Would stay there again. Many thanks

Handy. Staff friendly. Unit clean. Everything we required

Clean bedding and towels and mostly clean. But very tired and run down. A few nooks and crannies could be cleaned better. Well supplied with cooking and kitchen items. Needs some modernizing and attention.

Staff support was bad

Cosy motel suits to be out of Wellington but drivable to the ferry
colin
Went well.
Ann
I find this motel a perfect distance from the interislander ferry - a 50 min drive. It’s operated by the owners and it is a generational family business. A a former motelier I thoroughly recommend it.
Mary
I really enjoy stauong here this is my 6th time booking and i will be back for a week in October
Sporty
Great little place will stay again, unit had a good feel about it
Annie
Excellent contact and responsiveness from staff, easy parking and easy check in, very comfy beds, heat pump was on for our arrival on a winter evening whuch was appreciated. Lovely new bathroom with nice shower.
Richard
Excellent communications from the proprietors, after delays with the interislander ferries. Very obliging and hassle free.
Clean, tidy and quiet rooms. Great stop off away from Wellington, on way to Auckland.

This is a great overnight stop off when travelling with dogs. It is a little traffic noisey but then you are not far off the main route for the next day!
It is very clean and good walking space for dogs.
Town has a few food options and great fish and chips.
Meet and greet efficient and we had lovely fresh linen and strong shower!

Garden views
I like to stay here when I’m doing business in Wellington. It has parties gardens and is so much more peaceful than the city
James
Walked into kitchen and thought ‘tired 1970”s’. Room better except for woodwork. Bathroom excellent and modern.
William
Older motel, but clean, well maintained and convenient.
Penny
Really tired and shabby in need of a make over
Maree
Older motel but new bathroom which was great. Room clean n tidy. Quiet aircon. Easy parking, easy to get to. Stayed 3 night n would definitely stay again.
Terry
Pleasantly surprised
Clean, quiet, affordable accommodation. At first glance when you arrive the motel complex looks old/tired. But the units are clean and some upgrades (modern bathroom) have been done. Would definitely stay again.
Laura
Happy to stay again
Met with a lovely friendly welcome and was especially grateful as was for 2 nights over the Xmas period. Spacious room with lovely bathroom. Loved the patio which was frequented by blackbirds and sparrow and we also saw a Pukeko each day.
Nicola
Very clean and convenient place to stay! Great rooms, awesome showers!!
Nicholas
Very good amenities and quality of service for the price.
Graeme
A beautiful, bird-filled garden where you could sit and relax with no other buildings in sight.
Very comfortable beds, a great night's sleep.
A genuine, friendly, and professional prprietor.
The best of three motels we stayed this trip, and the least expensive.

Liked that it was quiet and had spacious parking at the door of the unit. The property is dated, and the outside areas are not well kept.
colin
Nice stay.
Nice stay. Motel built awhile ago but presented well. Equipment good. Clean and functional.
Judith
Had everything we needed. Good wifi, comfortable bed, good shower. Private outdoor area overlooking wetlands.
Erica
Liked the 1950s feel.
DAVID
unit a little dated, but was comfortable for 1 night
Jamie
Good little motel if you need to stay in the area. Easy parking and relatively quiet. Ōtaki township is just down the road and a BP is very close by if you need supplies.
Susanna
The units are clean and tidy. I parked iutsude my unit. There is a heat pump. It is close yo thr shopping area.
RIA
The comfort, good security, warmth, clean and tidy. Good services.
Anthony
Very handy to snooker venue
Brian
Quiet, clean, spacious and comfortable unit. Well priced.
Ann
Drive onto the ferry is 55 mins from otaki
I drive onto the interislander ferry from otaki 45-55 minute drive. Leaving early avoids traffic into Wellington and staying out of Wellington avoids hotel rates and car park fees. The bathroom is newly renovated— great water pressure! Tiny motel, one level, parking at the door. Great hosts. Great rate. What more do you need?
Te Terenga
Was a good and relaxing quiet wknd thanks
Ann
I stay here often
The owners live on site. It’s little. It’s walk-in/park at door. It’s close to township. It’s walking to food— not hiking —walking!!!
It’s an hour from the ferry check-in.

It had a comfortable, well cared for feel nd a creative attention to detail -Eg plunger coffee packet leaning against plunger, towels and soaps. Staff were friendly and very obliging
John
Check in was quick and easy. The chap in reception was very knowledgeable about the local area and gave a good recommendation for dining.
They had turned the heating on so the room was lovely and toasty.
Room itself was old but clean and had all the necessities. A good powerful shower.

We needed a place to stay the night as we traveled through. It is definitely dated but seemed cleaned, the staff was very friendly and accommodating and we got a good night's sleep!
Ann
Lovely hosts
I’ve stayed six or seven times. Ōtaki breaks a long drive before driving onto the ferry. It’s spotlessly clean. The room rate is reasonable and this little motel has everything I could need. The patio opens onto a reserve.
Ann
I’ve stayed many times
I’ve stayed many times and this wee motel is a good price. just the right distance from Wellington to make it really to drive straight onto the ferry the following day. Spotlessly clean. with a family of pukeko waiting for food if you like birds.
Sally
Friendly accomadating owners, tidy, clean unit. Would stay again. Thank you
Doug
Very pleasant and relaxing stay.
Fiona
Safe, quiet clean & comfortable
Christie
Clean, tidy, everything you need for a night in Ōtaki.

Amila Sandaruwan
Excellent service
Ann
All I need!!
I always stay here and drive onto the ferry the next day. It’s perfectly positioned. Comfy, quiet and convenient.
Elizabeth
Lovely hosts, clean and tidy units, comfy beds and excellent bathroom. Stayed one night after getting of the ferry. We were delayed by 4 hours and hosts were accommodating with us arriving very late. Room was warm and milk there for a much needed hot drink.
Peter
No smoke alarm, lights on the wall above bed too low with normal bulbs dangerous.
Heather
Very clean and comfortable. Great that it’s dog friendly. For us a perfect place to stop off on the way to the Picton ferry.
sally
Good value motel
An older style motel, but it was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a nights stay. Good location after coming off the late afternoon ferry. Although we didn’t use it, the area outside our motel looked nice
Ann
SKY movies a plus.
Lovely welcome . Very quaint, lovely outdoor patio. Pukeko visited in the morning. room heated before my arrival. Nice to have a small stove. SKY movies a plus.
one hour drive from the ferry from Picton to Wellington ferry.
Linda
Very friendly well equiped very nice place to stay
Eric
Great location and staff go out of their way to assist you with what you require. Great communication. Thanks
Jo
Friendly and helpful management- really accommodating to my needs. Very very clean.
Michelle
Proximity to city centre was excellent only down fall was the traffic so close…
David
The property is what it is, a little old qnd past due for an upgrade.
It served our purpose to give us a nights rest to break up the journey between Chridtchurch qnd Auckland.
Was a little noisey with the state highwsy and main trunk line close by. It was what I expected for the price
