Nice enough clean motel. Pricey at $220 per night. Bit of a frosty reception on arrival. Restaurant was well priced and friendly but basically had 50% of the menu unavailable.

We were staying on the top level and our tv wasn’t working. Wasn’t bothered to go tell the staff cause we didn’t really use it, as we only came back to the motel to rest and than off to our next adventure. Stayed here for 5 days and cleanliness was 5/5. Always changed our towels and took out the rubbish and recycling. Would definitely stay here again next time we travel down from Auckland

ブルーペンギンコロニーに行く為にこちらに滞在しました。ペンギンコロニーやカフェやレストランがあるオマルー中心まで少し距離(車で10分前後)がありますが、スーパーのNew Worldやマクドナルド、テイクアウトのお店なども近くにあり便利な場所にありました。お部屋も広く、キッチンもあるので便利です。ただ備え付けのマグカップがかなりの茶渋で汚れたままなど気になる点も…
