Dated motel
Very dated motel. Uncomfortably hot during our stay but no fan or Aircon. A few insects inside but I know this sometimes can't be helped. There was an unexpected air fryer in the room but otherwise a basic room. Didn't like that they charged my credit card before I arrived which incurred card fees I could have avoided had they waited until I checked in. Of the multiple hotels we stayed in during our NZ trip this was the worst, but it'll do if it's your only option.

Comfortable beds. Property was clean. But I would have expected air con. Our room was 26 degrees at night with only the option of opening windows to cool the room, which I didn’t feel comfortable with doing on the ground floor given there were no security locks.
