Giving motels a great name
This motel gives motels a good name. Very clean, comfortable, with parking adjacent to your motel unit. Warren at the front desk is both friendly and super helpful. He rearranged our following days plans with great ideas, and we were happy with the result. Great place to stay!

Clean, spacious, and friendly staff
Super friendly staff, easy check-in (also offered a bottle of milk for tea), and the room was spacious! Large living area with lots of seating, great bathroom, plenty of space in the kitchen, and separate bedroom. Check-out was easy as well. Great location for accessing Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.

What looks like an old motel from the outside first impressions turns out pretty damn good inside.
I had a one bedroom apartment and was really ok inside.
Had everything you needed. No oven but a double hob .
Plenty of pop up eateries just on the other side each evening and also coffee vans in the morning.
