It is an older property which is evident, could do with some chairs and a small table on the deck area as that gets nice sun, in need of a bit of an upgrade but beds and pillows were great, good if you just need a bed for the night and not looking for anything fancy

Very clean room. Staff friendly and helpful. Good on site parking. Laundry facilities good. Really nice lady managing the lodge while owners away. Black out curtains would be a good addition as the lights outside the back rooms stay on all night and it can be hard to sleep when they shine through the ranch slider curtains where the beds are situated.

This place is old and in dire need of repair. Curtains were torn, room was dark, shower was not worth stepping into. We had to drag our bags from car park, through an old, dingy unused party room and up a stairway to 2nd level. Stairs had old, dirty carpet. Grounds were a mess of untrimmed bushes and garbage. Pool unusable due to scummy water

This motel was very convenient for a function we had to attend near Matakana and within easy walking distance of the town. Though the unit we were given was spacious, it was dated, while the arrangement of the furniture was rather unusual in that it was difficult to access the bathroom. We also missed having a light/lights near the bed for reading.

The older gentleman working there was so lovely, very helpful and was such a great first impression of the business. This was a last minute booking so we just needed a bed for the night, the duvet was a bit dirty (had some stains and bits on it) but overall the room was tidy and did the job. We had a double bed and I’d say it would have been worth the money to pay for a queen and have the extra room as it’s a tight double bed. Laundry facilities were great, we didn’t explore too much around the area but there are some decent shops close by incase you want to do any shopping. Overall a lovely place for a last minute booking!

This property, while convenient to what we were doing was quite run down. The bathrooms especially had no heating or exhaust fan leaving tiles slippery and everthing wet. The shower base has a sink hole that made you feel as though you would fall through. Our kids beds were dusty on the pillows and the air conditioning was seemed broken as we had it on 27degrees and there was hardly any noticable warmth coming outThe sponge to wash up with was damp and stained and hadn't been renewed. The lady who was in charge was really lovely and happy to replace the sponge. The beds were comfortable and we were warm enough. Probably wouldn't stay again.

Also changed us to a downstairs unit instead of the upstairs one that I had booked….much appreciated as we are elderly!!!

The lady at reception was wonderful. In fact, she was the highlight of the stay for us. She was friendly, welcoming and lovely to chat to. Carparking onsite was awesome, we could park directly in front of the room.

The living room was spacious but the furniture, particularly the centre of the 2-seat couch, kept sinking down below the base and we kept having to adjust the cushions and pulling them up so we could get comfortable.
The bedroom was small, as was the bed. More like a king single.bed than a double. My partner opted to try and sleep on the couch/fold out bed.....and woke up sore. The fold out bed sunk in the centre, had a hard bar underneath the top third of the bed and it made a terrible noise when he moved or turned.
There was no soap in any of the dispensers in the bathroom at all, luckily we had our own. When i showered, the bath/floor mat was completely wet and of no use.
The coffee sachets were so old the granules had melted together and become hard.....you had to tear the packets open and pull the chunk of coffee out.
There were other little things like the broken handle on the closet cupboard just dangling, the extremely slippery bathroom floor, really dangerous when wet, and only 1 large towel for each adult (consider that 2 adults showering at night and in the morning AND a pool onsite, so swimming as well) perhaps 4 towels would be better than having to hang/reuse our towels.
At $150 a nightextra towels, soap and actual coffee granules seems fair.
