Having viewed a number of negative reviews moments before our stay, I would say the owners of this motel have taken those comments on board, and made some measures to improve the standards, and we were very satisfied with our accommodation. We stayed in room 10, 20, and 22 which all had fantastic shower pressure. I initially booked 3 standard twin rooms, but the owner upgraded one of our rooms to a room with a kitchen knowing we had 7 adults and two toddlers in our group which we were very grateful for. They never promised a 5 star facility, but we feel we were given 3 well presented, tidy rooms with comfortable beds, good showers and clean facilities. Despite the language barrier, the cleaner who we requested extra towels from was very pleasant to deal with and I witnessed him assisting other guests without a fuss with their requests. I honestly have nothing but appreciation to share to the owner and his team. Abundant blessings with your future travellers to Champers Motor Inn and thank you for the accommodation.

Probably the worst Motel I have stayed in. 1. Booked for 2 but cutlery 1 knife only 2. One dinner plate only. 3 Tried to contact reception but advised to phone a specified number - this an Answer Service covering many motels and couldn't understand my request. 4. TV wouldn't work. Again phoned Answer Service to be advised at 7.00pm nobody available to remidy my request. 5.In morning reception would not accept that me problems had not been solved.\ and passed the blame on the cleaners On arrival we were not shown to our motel but just pointed to Unit 5. Anyone staying here in future insist on being shown to their unit and check everything with Motel staff in attendance. They will not see us there ever again

Great staff member who came to open reception for me after 11 pm. Great friendly communication prior to arrival. I had room 5 and it was perfectly clean and comfortable. Good bed and shower and quiet neighborhood. Very convenient position when coming from the late ferry then travelling up north. It was appropriate for the price.

Went to check in on arrival. Reception was closed...sign on door states "Im away from Reception ring the bell or call this number" Number is answered by a random person who asks where you are ringing from. I tell them there is another customer thats been waiting for 30 minutes. The other customer could'nt understand the person on the phone. They then gave me a code for the lockbox to hand the keys out. I told them I wanted to talk to Reception..and when would they be back, I was told 4pm. Nobody turned up, the same sign was up for 2 days. How ridiculous to have no one onsight. What must our overseas visitors think. Great kiwi hospitality....NOT.
