This motel, though a bit out-dated, was clean and comfortable for our family of 4 in a one-bedroom apartment. It was great to find a place to stay with our small dog with a garden right outside our door. The host was friendly and helpful. We could walk through the race course to Pukekura Park, which was lovely.

Great value for money and plenty of space for a family of four. Staff super friendly and helpful. Great location. A little bit tired, could use a bed upgrade and bathroom and kitchen upgrade, but fine for a one night stop over.

A great choice

We went to New Plymouth for our Easter break as we hadn’t been there before - it was great location - friendly helpful staff and we were able to take our dog which was wonderful ! Clean and comfortable but basic motel - we would definitely use again ! And it had an electric blanket !
