The room we had was absolutely awesome.the lounge was huge for all of us to sit and talk comfortably. The beds were comfortable .our venue was very close ..Very happy with our stay..Would recommend to everyone..
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a very nice stay. The rooms are a great size and had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed the swing set out back. The pool isn’t open but we weren’t planning on using it. KFC and Woolworths are very close, which was convenient. There is no A/C but our room had 3 fans which really helped.
Gillian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was quiet with no road noise. The bed was so hard that it was like sleeping on the floor.
Brent, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room, bathroom and kitchen were clean. On the positive side we had booked a studio unit and got a full motel unit. On the negative side the bed was so hard that it was like sleeping on the floor. One of us didn't get much sleep because of that.
Lyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Just what was needed.

We stayed one night before our flight out of NZ the next day. I don't think I'd stay any longer. Clean, comfortable and convenient.
Ben, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Surprising.

Honestly i was very concerned from the previous reviews. However check in was easy as we were arriving late and we were emailed previously about instructions. The room catered for our needs, plenty of beds. Great location.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

This property was okay, and kept clean. The cleaning staff were friendly. Unfortunately our TV and oven didn't work and with no staff onsite it is a bit slower to sort.
Cindy, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disappointing Stay – Poor Maintenance and Lack of Basic Amenities The property was very run-down and not as advertised. Several key amenities were out of order, including the pool, spa, and washing machine. We booked the place for six people, but there were only five beds available, and no towels were provided. The overall cleanliness was lacking—the oven was dirty, plates were chipped, and the floors were sticky. The beds were old and uncomfortable, and my room had an unpleasant musty smell, like an old man’s lingering odor. The only positive aspect was the location, which was great. However, given the poor condition of the property, I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless major improvements are made
Denita, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I stayed with 3 x 15 year old boys; we were there for a sports weekend. Property was fine for us. Our unit had a very old stove in it with solid cooking rings that took forever to heat up to cook on. Needed a couple of decent size bowls in the pantry for a salad/pop corn etc. We had to ask for a kitchen sink plug and tea towels. Property is dated and possibly needs a new coat of paint but was safe and the beds were comfy. And yes we would stay again with kids. Easy to find location and central to all the stadiums the kids were playing at. Having no one in reception was a new experience for us but the people that answered my phone calls were great. We were allowed a later checkout of 11am too.
Sandra, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was un usual to not have a reception for checking in etc but the staff employed rose to the occasion and helped out. I had my elderly mother with me so needed to get into the room for her to use the toilet and i was assisted by cleaner on the premises. Thank you
