This place was absolutely immaculate and it truly sparkles. It is if not the cleanest, then it's as clean as any hotel or similar we have ever stayed in, anywhere around the world. They have thought of everything and provided it. Lovely bed linen, towels and a very comfortable bed. The shower is great, the spa is one of the best and there are no leaks! And the people running it are friendly, pleasant and extremely efficient.

A wonderful stay and experience, thank you

Having owned a motel for ten years ago, now retired, we have to give this particular motel a score of ten out of ten.
The motel was clean from top to bottom, the room was large and beautifully furnished and had everything we needed - certainly at the deluxe level.
Well located easy walking distance to the city centre.
We received a wonderful welcome and the service provided by the owner was no trouble to them.
What more can we say but simply to highly recommend this motel to those visiting the beautiful city of Palmerston North.
We will return if only to experience our stay once again. Norman and Carole
