Very clean unit and great location. Friendly host who was extremely helpful. She took the time to have a genuine conversation with me and showed me where everything was on the map. Planning on staying again several times this year to visit my daughter living in Dunedin.

Thankyou! We'd love to have you back as you visit your daughter during her studies :-) We enjoy meeting such lovely parents during this busy time - and even more when we see them again all the way up to graduation. We appreciate that you found us welcoming - we always try to be a home away from home! Warm regards, Holly for Robyn

Such a lovely, homely place to stay! I stayed one night on a sofa bed on New Year’s Eve while moving. The room was clean and smelt nice, and wasn’t loud in the centre of town. Robyn the owner is so lovely and attentive, as is her lovely Labrador. Parking was uphill, but nothing compared to Wellington. So close to restaurants etc to grab a quick feed as well. The street was all finished of roadworks and there’s some cute coffee and op shops just across the road.

Staff were helpful and friendly. We had a unit near the road frontage and it was surprisingly quiet. Accommodation was comfortable and everything we needed was in the unit which was clean and modern at an affordable price.

Excellent service and very friendly team who work at the motel. They were so helpful and communication was easy. Rooms very comfortable and if somewhat dated in the bathroom we had it was still clean and comfortable. They also designated parks so no stress if you went out because there was park for you when you returned. Will definitely return to stay. Thanks

Our booking was a breeze, Robyn was very helpful letting me park my car at the motel before my check in because my husband was at a hospital appointment. On my return to check in for the night I caught up with Robyn again, she is a lovely lady who offered help and advise which was really appreciated. My room was really nice, very clean and the bed was great, I had a good nights sleep and would not hesitate a return visit. Thank you Robyn and John for a lovely place to stay, very handy to the hospital and eateries, I felt very safe and secure indeed.
