Me and my girlfriend stayed 3 months in this motel The staff and the owners were awesome. They offered us a great deal (unbeatable) for a studio with all the facilities. We would definitely recommend this place because it's clean, they have big rooms and those people are really helpful (always there when we needed anything) and maintained the place... More

This is a very quiet and peaceful place to stay. Staff were very friendly, and even allowed us to have our dogs stay over night, after checking this with them when booking. Kindly gave us a motel with car park directly outside to accommodate our dogs. The motels are perfect for the price, and have everything you need for one... More

Very friendly and helpful staff. Studio was clean and very comfortable and had all the facilities we expected. Average price for this type of room, Only stayed one night after the crossing from Wellington, at the start of our marathon journey around South Island. It rated highly in our experiences.

The staff were really great friendly and welcoming. I had an older studio unit which was in need of updating, but was very clean. Actually thought it was relatively expensive for the type of room provided. Was a little concerned about noise as very close to the corner pub, but actually it was very quiet.

We had one night here. Our room, a luxury spa room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a nice view over the marina. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Havelock is a pleasant spot to spend a night or 2.

We stayed in a spacious family unit. This has upstairs for the kids. Clean and comfortable and largely updated. Some nice touches. Good view of marina from our unit and good if basic food at tavern next door. We stayed mid week, very comfortable.

I am in a Wheelchair. We had the chance for two days at HM&ML in a studio apartment yesterday. Clearly the best in Marlbourgh. We used it as a base for short runs to Picton Blenheim and the Great Marlborough vineyards. It was exemplary and while I could have said I passed the opportunity based on recent negative postings it... More

Stayed 2 nights recently while spending some time in the Marlborough sounds. Staff were really welcoming and full of information on things to do in Havelock and the surrounding areas. Our room was comfortable, clean and just what we wanted. Had a great sleep! Anything we needed was provided and nothing was too much trouble. Walked down to the Slip... More
