Had one night here while in the area for work. I found the lady to be not very friendly and not overly helpful. Perhaps English was her second language, either that or she was mumbling and uninterested. The room was small, bed was okay and I slept really well. Good shower, clean room. No wifi picked up in the vicinity... More

Took a break for a night travelling from south and then return from north and was an more than suitable for a stop over for a mid way break. Units are small and compact but has all the facilities one needs and is handy to the shopping precinct. Was obviously quite popular as it was almost fully booked for both... More

We booked a small room for just the two of us and this is maybe where we went wrong. The room was tiny as was the en suite. It all looked as though it had not been refurbished for many, many years. There was no sink for washing up, just a plastic bowl. The free wifi was non existant unless... More

We stayed here as a stop-off between Motueka and Christchurch, travelling with our 3 month old son. Having travelled up to Motueka via Kaikoura and Blenheim, we wanted to return through the Kahurangi national park and the beautiful Lewis Pass. We'd heard bad things about Springs Junction and Maruia Springs, so chose Murchison as our half-way point. It's a small... More

We ended up here after our booking at the local holiday park was overlooked and left us without accommodation at the start of our family holiday. While it looks a little dated from the outside we were very happy with the unit we stayed in. The bathrooms have been recently refurbished by the looks, beds are reasonably comfortable, rooms spacious... More

We booked the family unit, which was very clean, tidy, spacious and suitable for a family. Upon arrival the proprietor was welcoming and removed the pool cover for the teens to have a swim. Motel is convenient to amenities, value for money and we would definitely return. Thank you

My husband and i got a family unit as we were travelling with my parents. Some of the unit has been refurbished like the bathroom and bedrooms, but the kitchen was a little outdated. However is was very clean and for what we paid for it, it was excellent value for money.

We stay there for one night from Nelson to Greymouth. For the standard studio, it is very small. It may be the smallest room I have been stayed in NZ. The pillow and the bed has a smell, which took me 2 days to wash out. No shampoo... There are not a lot choices in that little town. So if... More
