I don't often write reviews but this motel was great; large room, all amenities, powerful shower, friendly owners, just wish we could take this room all around NZ on our travels

What wonderful people to stay with! Simon, and Nicola were so accommodating, and helpful. My accommodation was fantastic, and had so many special touches, that I wanted for nothing. Also, very clean, with a great bed. Thank you

It's more than a motel. We had a large sitting room and separate bedroom. Furniture was more upmarket than expected and the lady receptionist was friendly and engaging.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Everything was clean, convenient and comfortable.
Only 10 minutes easy walk from town.
Great location with parking right outside your unit.
Friendly, helpful staff.
Great location for exploring the location wineries.
Would definitely stay here again.
