Bit rough. Very unprofessional.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here with the current owners (the place is currently for sale).
We were happy to overlook the unpainted repairs, etc. However, there is a bit of an attitude that guests are an inconvenience with at least one of the owners.
The final straw was when we were asked to provide feedback via email where I made a suggestion for them consider — that their late checkout policy is out of odds with other motels, hotels/other short-term accommodation around NZ (we go to a lot)…
I got a reply that was full of justification, accusations that we were being unfair for just asking on checkout day (other places don’t have a problem with that) as well another rude comment or two.
Finally, I gave them an opportunity to apologise (for their impoliteness) which they haven’t taken me up on.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment which was perfect for my teen son and I. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and was nice and cosy. Well positioned too with easy access to town and on the way to Mt Hutt. Would stay there again!

We booked this stay at about 6:30pm on Hotels.com when our previous plans fell through, and started driving. When we got to the motel at 8:15pm, no one was in the office. We opened our confirmation email and saw that the office closed at 8pm and if we were going to be later, we needed to let them know ahead of time. We weren't sure what to do, but eventually we found the owner's cell number and texted him. He and his wife came back and checked us in. We were so grateful! They were very kind. The apartment was clean and spacious and comfortable. We were very happy to have a nice place to sleep. The owners also recommended a wonderful breakfast place!

The beds really let this property down. The king bed was a zip together and was saggy. It was cold with no electric blanket and a underlay that didn't even cover the full size of the bed, wasn't fitted so moved in the night, leaving just the bare mattress, not so hygienic. I would think more underneath layers for hygiene would be on a bed. A better top layer would have helped. I get they use zip together beds but you then need sufficient sized sheets.
As a winter resort you would think it would focus on warmth. The kids were cold in their single beds also.
The layout of the motel was good with the two rooms for a family.
