Pleasant receptionist & close to river walk, supermarket & cafes. Not all beds with electric blankets otherwise well equipped. There was no road noise, always a bonus & an extensive listing of takeaway & eat in restaurants menus.

Have stayed at Buller Bridge twice with our family, as they have large two bedroom units with extra beds available ( for the 3rd/ 4th child if necessary). Super clean, well-equipped motel units. Comfy beds, good shower pressure, easy parking in front of your unit, decent wifi ( a necessity with teenagers). Friendly management. A reasonable walk to the Denniston Dog for dinner, but easily doable. Would recommend and stay again. Thanks for your hospitality.

Best night's sleep of my week away in the north of the South Island, Buller Bridge Motel is clean, comfortable with comprehensive cooking facilities in the studio. Great shower, huge new fluffy towels and ideal location that is easy to find, quiet yet central.
Thanks Paula for a lovely stay and also for the recommendations of sights to see.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom unit, (just the two of us). Very comfy, with room to spare in all rooms (bedrooms, lounge/kitchen). Car park was right beside the unit. Large panel heaters in each room made it easy to warm the unit. Would stay again!

Coming from the south, very easy to find ( not far from the bridge) Friendly greeting from reception with helpful answers to our questions. The 2 bedroom unit was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Ours was only a short stay but very enjoyable

I arrived at the Buller Bridge Motel completely exhausted after biking the Old Ghost Road. The motelier was very friendly and welcoming and the room was spotless with everything I needed, including a lovely hot shower. It was an easy trip into town to get some takeaways, a quick meal in front of the tv and then I had an excellent sleep in the large comfortable bed.

On arrival we received a warm welcome and lots of information about places to visit in the surrounding area. Room exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean and the quality of the linen, towels and toiletries were more like those in a luxury hotel. Quiet location just off town. Shops, restaurants etc all within walking distance. If you plan to spend time in Westport than this is a great base.

Great stay and very comfortable bed. Extremely clean and very spacious.
Great location and nice walks nearby. This motel is very quiet, being slightly out of town was an excellent choice. We would recommend Buller Bridge

This motel was by far the cleanest we've stayed in, was very roomy and had everything we needed including a comfortable bed. Situated in easy to find position and close to all amenities. Right across the road from good river walks too. The host was a lovely friendly and helpful person.
