A museum piece of Kiwi motels from the 1980s

This motel is a preserved relic of what motels were like in NZ during my first visits ca. 1987-1990. Very misleading photos. Next to busy road, pretty rough condition. Single person was working that day and was clearly overwhelmed by it. Furniture was in pretty bad shape. Cannot see the TV from the queen bed. Was way overpriced too, but this was likely due to Te Matatini going on in New Plymounth, every room in Hawera and NP was taken

Really comfortable stay. Friendly service plus the added bonus of being able to buy dinner from the food truck at the property. Everything was super easy and convenient. Thanks.

Very convenient to cbd, shops, eating places etc. Only criticism of unit 1 was the bathroom.....not enough hooks to hold clothes, odd, awkward shape, cupboard over hand basin makes it very awkward to use basin.

Excellent motel with services for travellers and truckies.
Truck have a designated parking area that avoids the travellers cars.
Rooms are modern, clean, comfortable with all facilities to a very high standard
The owners were especially helpful and went out of their way to assist us
A very relaxing and pleasant stay

Not a good motel!

Poor motel. Small rooms, no kitchen, stuffy and smelled like someone had been smoking in it. Pretty disgusting. Small poky bathroom i could barely move in.

Very friendly people and spotless unit. A great place to stay if you like an ultra firm bed. The firmest I’ve ever encountered
