Great pet friendly accomodation. Jenny was very hospitable checking if there was anything we needed daily. Definitely would stay there again
Lorraine
Advertised as luxury studio but fell far short of luxury.

Handy location to restaurant, shops and park.. Clean room.
Barry
Very welcoming pet friendly motel
What a rarity to be welcomed with a smile, I got one here. I was asked if I had breakfast organised, I didnt have, so was given the option. I was asked how I would like the eggs and bacon cooked. The breakfast was great and exactly how we had discussed. I could not fault the place. I may have given it a more welcoming name, but that is just an opinion. One of the best moter experiences for years. Well done
Zjene
Not happy.
The motel looks lovely on the outside, the inside not so much. It has old uncomfortable beds, very outdated televisions. Also our tv kept glitching it was very annoying to watch!. The room was tiny for the price I think it was defenitly one of the worst in the area. I have paid less at a motel and got a way better experience. Sorry to say I don't have anything positive to wright about this motel.
Viti
Comfortable and Clean
Lovely staff and very clean room. The room was perfect for staying in solo and felt safe. Good off street parking and easy to find. A minutes drive to the CBD. Good value for money and the complementary chocolates were a pleasant surprise after a long drive.
Verified traveler
Great stay
This is the 2nd time we've stayed and it's always very clean and comfy. Definitely come back again.
Verified traveler
Great night and really appreciated being able to bring our (very) small dog with us to a lovely unit. We will be happily returning next time we are in town.
Guo Sheng
Everything was just right. Will stay again
Verified traveler
a pleasant one night stay. Easy to find, located near main roads (but difficult to get out of in the morning traffic). Rooms feel a bit close and there's a bit of noise bleed when your neighbour goes to the toilet or plugs things into the wall. Breakfast is cheap and generous, water pressure good and electric blankets are great!
Verified traveler
Short stay
Was in palmerston North for one night with child entering the Wheetbix tri. Unfortunately other guests were very loud and we got very little sleep as a result. Rooms were nice but quite basic for the cost. service was great from motel owners who let me keep my car in the carpark till 2pm after check-out. Greatly appreciated.

Quiet and comfortable venue close to city centre
A short distance to the city centre in a residential area therefore a quiet area.
Rooms are very clean and well presented with compact cooking facilities. Good location for the Rugby Museum and other city attractions as well as the River parkland and International
Rose Gardens. Choice of eating places close by.
Very knowledgable and helpful owners are able to offer advice

Great, family friendly motel
What a fantastic place for a family to stay. Lots of room, we had 2 separate bedrooms and the kitchen was well set up to self cater.
Checking in was a breeze, and the friendly staff gave us maps and information without being asked.
My only complaint was that, being in the disabled apartment, the shower screens (around a huge shower) did not stop the water going all over the floor, though I understand the need of these arrangements if you were in a wheelchair.
