The room was very comfortable for us , with a small kitchenette for a week stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, coming in to turn our heater on at the end of the day ready for our return. The room was exceptionally clean.

Really impressed with the overall experience. Our 1 bedroom apartment was like a home away from home. A good size, well appointed, modern, quiet and exceptionally clean. I would recommend to anyone needing accommodation at that end of town.

Apparently the rooms were renovated 5 years ago but they are still spotless. Real quality in the kitchen, wonderful comfortable bed and the first bathroom on our trip that didn’t have some sort of issue, in fact it was super. Great location, super friendly and helpful hosts , I doubt there’s much better comfort and value in Okakune .

This was the nicest motel anywhere we have ever stayed in. The rooms were a much higher level than you usually find in a motel. They were larger than expected and easily fit a family of four plus significant luggage with room to move. The beds were very comfortable and the double spa bath was AMAZING, we all had a lovely soak in it. The staff were lovely and helped us with washing facilities, and overall it was a very comfortable and pleasant stay, happy to recommend.

Great service. Jenny is very thoughtful welcoming and helpfull. She thinks of the little things that make a difference in comparison to other Motels I have stayed in such as turning the heat pump on so when I arrive the room is lovely and warm. I won't stay anywhere else when I'm working in Taumarunui. The unit is spotless, the bed is comfortable and the shower pressure is amazing. The unit has everything I need.

During his stay at the motel while working in the area, our data technician found plenty of positives: easy parking, felt safe and secure, a comfy bed, and the host was super helpful with a late check-out because of his late work hours. He'd definitely choose to stay there again in the future.

Very friendly cleaner who was most accommodating, but my idea of motels is not contacting the cleaner after 8.30am but reception when I want then. Nice bathroom products.

We have stayed in multiple motels like this where the rooms are a little dated. Don't let this put you off. The hosts are friendly, the rooms are very clean and well maintained, especially for their age.

Great motel, much bigger than expected. Room was lovely, away from the road. Comfy beds, huge bath - only disappointment was a late night ant invasion!! Also got the morning sun which the hotels over the road didn't!
