A coin-operated laundry facility is available. Free parking is provided.

The room was great as our two bedrm unit was broken so we were given a better and greater deal. Room was very clean and the staff, Michelle, worked so hard to help us get in our room and even helped with laundry. She went above snd beyond and deserves a big fat raise!

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Awesome bed, really comfortable. The location is great in that I could walk to the town centre in less than five minutes. I really liked the view of Mt Tongariro from my window. Great value for a one-night stay. Attractive colour scheme and art work. Restaurants suggested, including a 10% discount for motel guests from memory. Free parking outside my room was great.

    Dara was great, communication was excellent and the location was perfect, with everything you need within walking distance. Most of the beds were comfy. Kitchen was well appointed. Spare blankets in the cupboard came in handy as it turned chilly in the morning. Very easy to find the motel on arrival.

    Pure quality. We were expecting run of the mill motel lodge but it was upmarket and far exceeded expectations. Alan and Susie were exceptional hosts and really made us welcome. Nothing was too much. Booked us a table at a busy restaurant for a very nice meal.
