"Very friendly staff. I booked last minute and was still given wonderful treatment. They were very prompt, very friendly and helpful, and they made our stay feel warm and welcoming. The room was very warm and nicely cleaned and tidy."
Junita - New Zealand
"The room felt new and the carpet and underlay were top quality. While the hotel is near the road, only slight noise, if any, was experienced. The roadside appearance does not do justice to the accommodation behind it."
Paul - United States
"Room was well appointed and very comfortable with an outdoor patio. Bathroom excellent, good kitchenette with fridge, tea and coffee facilities. Bed very comfortable with good linen, extra pillows and everything spotlessly clean."
Jenny - New Zealand
"Bed was soft and plush, pillows lovely and clean, and the room had access to the garden of white roses outside with a cute little table and chairs. Air conditioning was nice and cool, which was perfect because it was so hot."
Teri - Australia
"Out of all my years of travelling and check-ins, this was by far the friendliest welcome I have had. The room was excellent value and the lady was very accommodating to my two grandbabies. I will 100% return."
Melissa - New Zealand
"A wonderful spacious room with a big modern bathroom. Peaceful and quiet even though it was on a main road. We would certainly return here."
Selwyn - New Zealand
