There was a heated swimming pool on site and childrens play area. It was lovely to be able to relax after a long car journey in a quiet, pleasent environment.... More

The new management have done an excellent job, in transforming this motel that had poor reviews to very good quality accommodation. The rooms are very clean spacious and well equipped, and represented one of the best value motels we stayed in throughout our 6 week stay in New Zealand.

It's old but refurbished. Kitchen good with table for two. Excellent air conditioning. Comfortable bed. Pool was luxuriously warm. Situated about three miles from centre along flat road. Polite service and for the money happy to recommend.

We only stayed one night at Eastland, but found it to be perfectly adequate for our needs. We had excellent value in one of the king studios, which had its own separate kitchen with full cooking facilities. The studio was lovely and clean with everything we needed. Powerful shower, toiletries provided, flat screen TV. There is a clean swimming pool... More
