We would recommend Celtic Motel to anyone requiring a motel in the Foxton area. The unit was spacious, very clean and very very quiet. Everything that we require in a motel. Paul and Lesley are the perfect hosts and very willing to help with anything they can. We had arrived with a frozen quiche and they had it heated and... More

I booked this as a stopover on our way to Wellington as we prefer rural locations in NZ. What a great surprise ... not what we expected of a motel Nice location away from the busy SH1 but easy to get to ... very good size rooms and well equipped ... very clean and comfortable. The room that we were... More

Started badly. I had booked in late arrival with the owners saying they would stay up for my arrival and deciding not to take up the offer to give me the room number in advance and leave the key in the door. A late ferry made it even later, so called 30 mins out from arriuval - no answer. When... More

We were on a four day break the night you stayed. Although we went through all your request with our motel minders so your late arrival would go smoothly there has obviously been some misunderstanding between us and our motel minders. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we will improve our hand over procedure. More

Picked at random, the Celtic Motel did not disappoint. Nice, quiet setting with open aspect to the front with easy parking outside room. Room itself was absolutely fine and was well equipped and clean. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Foxton Beach was just a 10 minute drive away and the town even closer. Will definitely stay here again.

With family owned motels, we don't expect the reception to be manned 24hrs. Expecting a late arrival, we called ahead. It didn't seem like any trouble to them, they told us they were right next door and to ring the bell when we got there. Paul, the owner, checked us in personally and showed us around the facilities which were... More

My Partner and I and Mother-in-law stayed here over two nights over the weekend. The room was spacious, very clean and modern with comfortable beds, kitchenette, and dining table and chairs. The breakfast was good and the peaches were great. Our Hosts, Paul and Lesley, were very friendly and gave good advice on restaurants in the area. A very welcoming... More

My husband and I had a stay in the Celtic Motel for a night and day. This motel is the cleanest we have ever experienced and it is tastefully appointed too. The bathrooms are large and convenient - in fact we could have held a party in the shower - they are really roomy. The charge is very reasonable and... More

The family unit we stayed in had been recently decorated and was very clean and modern. Celtic Motel is in a quiet, pleasant location. We were very impressed with the proprietor, who went out of his way to assist us on a couple of occasions. The only (minor) downside is that the cooking facilities are very basic - just a... More
