Stayed for one night - room very well appointed and comfortable. Being a colder day I really appreciated that the heater had been turned on so the room was cosy. There was no traffic noise in the unit I was in, despite being on a very busy road. Great location with the proximity to the mall. Pleasant and professional gentleman... More

Great location, close to Porirua shops & Events Centre, only problem was crossing the road, it's really busy most of the time. Good lighting for a motel, plenty of power points, good size room & modern, but bed is really hard. Managers did add an extra underlay when we mentioned it. Not really set up for your own cooking as... More

We wanted to spend a couple of days in and around Wellington on north island vacation. Chose this place because the hotels in wellington looked to be expensive, and driving into a biggish city is always a "pain". The motel is 2 minutes off the highway into Wellington, 5 minutes walk from the suburban train station, a 20 minute 9... More

Thankyou for your review - on booking these guests did not have a Credit Card so we asked them to pay on arrival and a bond which was paid. They stayed 3 nights and every morning the cleaner was disgusted in the state of the room in the way it was left. They did not know what a rubbish bin... More

Absolutely wonderful accommodation, considering it is next to a busy road you don't hear a thing in the rooms. They are clean, have everything in them to make you feel pampered and the management are down to earth friendly people. I reckon the best motel in Porirua all rounder.

We booked two rooms over the phone from Auckland and upon calling initially, I asked Helen if I have to pay for extra for my 2 year old son who sleeps with me in the same bed and she very rudely said "yes you do. He sleeps with you doesn't mean he doesn't have shower or won't use our services".... More

Nice friendly hosts who walked us down to our room to show us how to work the key and power in the room. It was the first time I'd seen this sort of set up so it was very helpful.
