Convenient stop off on the way to Wellington, so we could visit some regional parks (good old Kiwi Guardian hunts).
Although the outside of the units look run down, and the industrial sized rubbish bins were a bit of a put off (and the trailer full of old furniture), it was a very pleasant place to stay. Inside our room was spacious, clean (apart from under the bed, but a lot places are slack at cleaning there) and suited our needs.
The owners/managers were helpful and friendly.

We would probably stay here again if we were in the area.

Very Handy to family

Easy to find. Perfect location to where we needed to be. The room we had was very roomy. Bonus to have the air condition as being a hot day the unit was very warm on arriving back at night. Great shower pressure and the bed was good, although we have had better. Being on the main road we didn't find it noisy at all. Yes you did hear some traffic but nothing to moan about.

Very Basic

The Trentham Motel is a very basic motel which is badly in need of an upgrade. That being said, our unit was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The excellent WiFi and the fact that all the Sky (pay TV ) channels were available help made our rooms short comings more palatable.

Excellent, affordable motel near Upper Hutt

While it may not look like much from the outside, the Trentham Motel punches far above its weight.

The lady at reception was very friendly, and when we arrived offered to upgrade our booking to one of their newly refurbished rooms at no extra charge.

What a pleasant surprise! A modern, tidy room with good kitchen and bathroom facilities, and an effective heat pump - exactly what we needed on a freezing cold night.

A short drive away from central Upper Hutt, close proximity to various takeaways, SH2 and the Trentham rail station made this an easy stop on our journey.

Our sincere thanks to the Trentham Motel for making this business trip that much easier!

Cosy, clean and comfortable.

Made very welcome on arrival and directed to our unit. The unit appeared to be recently refurbished and clean. The beds were very comfortable and coming from the Hawkes Bay to a very cold day in Upper Hutt, we were delighted to find electric blankets on the beds. Had trouble getting the stovetop to work and the Proprietor came to our assistance the moment we requested help. Unit has been finished to an excellent standard and I would definitely stay at this motel again. Highly Recommended.

Great for a short or longer

We stayed in Upper Hutt out of necessity as Wellington was booked out for the Elton John concert. However, it was a pleasant drive to the motel from Wellington city and the motel was easy to find. One piece of advice, turn off at the Silverstream exit from the highway, instead of going to the Upper Hutt exit. You'll shave alot of time off the trip as the motel is on the main road anyway.

At the motel, the gent was very welcoming and there was an adorable dog there. Plenty of parking, and close to the service station which would be great for beginning an excursion out. Once in the room, the decor whilst dated, was very comfortable. The free wifi was a plus, and made planning our trip easier. The shower was wonderful - amazing pressure and gas heated, so very hot. One small note, and more for the landlord: I forgot to mention upon checkout that under the fridge, it was leaking slightly.

Pros: Close to the main highway 2 - easy to find.
Pros: Great shower
Pros: Free wifi

Cons: Slightly dated decor, but thats neither here nor there.

Looks can be deceiving

Searching for a place to stay near family in Upper Hutt is a bit limited and on first glance this wasn't my first preference. It was the only place that had 2 rooms available for extended family to stay together. The set up is compact but still allowing ease of access for guests to drive in and out of and the room my husband and I stayed in needed to be updated - ie: décor, kitchen benches and the like BUT, we learnt that renovations are taking place and when completed it will be very nice. Some of the rooms, including the second room I had booked, have already been renovated and looked great.
