What a great place to stay! We booked 3 units for a family get-together and had a wonderful weekend at the Malfroy Motor Lodge. The units were all excellent, very clean and well-appointed, warm and comfortable. The hot pools were a bonus, and the outdoor setting was great for our Sunday BBQ brunch. Great Kiwi hospitality from our lovely hosts,... More

We originally were to spend 3 nights at Malfroy Lodge but we enjoyed our stay so much we extended it to 5 nights. A lot of this decision was due to our hosts, Ron and Mariri who helped us with sighseeing tips, restaurants and even booked an evening of entertainment for us.

Its a motel, the accommodation is quite close to the road, and the parking is adequate if a bit tight, but that's about as far as it goes on the potential downside. It's clear that the hosts have put a lot of hard work into making what we understand was previously an average motel into something special. Nice units, suprisingly... More

We stayed at Malfroy over the Easter weekend and were really pleased we did. The hosts Ron and Mairi were so very helpful. We used their suggestions for dining and holiday attractions, and they were spot on. The unit was spotless and the bed very comfy - we slept like babies. We would stay here again.
