Khách sạn Dunollie , Runanga

"A beautiful place—our only regret was not staying longer! Pavi went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. When we checked in, he asked if we had dinner plans. We didn’t, and since the hotel is the town’s only restaurant and was fully booked with reservations, he personally spoke with several people to make sure we were still able to enjoy dinner that evening. The hotel also offers laundry facilities, but we didn’t have any NZD cash and our American cards...

"Quiet location"

"The restaurant on the property was great to have."

"The hotel was great and staff super helpful. The restaurant food was delicious and the wait staff were helpful and ensured my meals were GF. I would stay here again."

"We were given an upgrade at no extra cost, to a very spacious and comfortable room. The bed was very comfortable, and it was very quiet, with no light coming in at night. We had a wonderful sleep, and used the kitchen facilities in the room, which were perfectly adequate for our needs. Unfortunately the internet crashed the second night we were there, so no TV, but we were tired so it didn't matter. We would stay again, very happy with our visit"

"Friendly, kind and very helpful hosts. Very much so! If you need any help - you will be in the right place. Rooms are usual/basic."

"The room was great, very clean and spacious. Check in was super easy and the owner was lovely and had lots of recommendations for eating out in the area"

"This motel wss one of the best we've staying. Very well kitted out (full kitchen, jacuzzi tub, very comfortable bed withwarmer). It was quiet and absolutely spotless. 10 out of 10!"

"Beautifully clean room, good kitchen and bathroom facilities, comfortable bed with nice toasty electric blanket."

"I had to cancel two nights but didn't get a refund. I booked in November 2025 so they had my money for five months. Will never stay with Stayz or Bachcare ever again."

"Great location, walking distance to the beach and easy drive into town. Lovely and clean. "

"Room was quite musty smelling. Carpet old and in need of a deep clean at least or replacing. The sofa also old and smelly. I wouldnt want to sit on it. Kitchen fixtures also old and inside them could do with a good clean and replacement or removal of liners. "

"Nice clean, warm room on a cold afternoon. The staff were very friendly and check in was a breeze. I would highly recommend Aachen Place motel for anyone looking for a clean, well located, wallet friendly place to stay. "

"Great stay, had all the needs including a kitchenette as i love to do my own breakfast."

"Gute Lage zur Stadt, die Unterkunft war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Aufgrund der Lage etwas lsut, aber Ohropax war vom gastgeber bereitgestellt. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten: die Bettdecke im Einzelbett war zu groß, das ließ sich nicht gut schlafen. Zudem waren die scharfen Messer leider nicht mehr scharf. Und eine Kaffeemaschine für Pads macht ohne einen Grundvorrat an Pads wenig Sinn."

"Excellent stay, no issues. Thank you."

"House is as advertised, comfortable family area."

"A great welcome and very professional for both of you to share best places and to do Clean bathroom and a great window in the room! I highly recommended "

"At the time of writing, this hotel has a 9.2 on Expedia. That is truly absurd. This hotel is old (they don’t call it “historic” for nothing) and run down (featuring peeling wallpaper, a saggy matress, threadbare carpet and a kitchen that looks like it was built in the 80s). Making things worse, there is literally not a single thing of interest in Kumara (it only exists because it is a stop on the West Coast Wilderness Trail). Unless you’re using this hotel as a way to break your cycle trip, I...
