The ladies at this motel went beyond in order that I had accommodation in my next saga
I was travelling alone with not very much knowledge of this area of New Zealand
Room was extremely clean and well appointed.
Thank you from Cheryl from Canada
The staff were super friendly, the room was spacious and had everything we needed, and the setting was lovely.
The price we paid through the Expedia app was more than we would normally pay for a property of this level. This place is fabulous if you get a good deal, and we would stay again if we were travelling to Thames.
The place is a little outdated but clean and spacious - it had a nice little kitchenette and everything we needed. We used the washer and dryer so that was convenient.
The staff were very helpful and friendly; room clean and safe. At best, I think the room was mid/average and at the current price a night, well, quite over-priced. Anyway, it is what it is.
This was a large room with a kitchenette which made it easy for us to organise our own breakfast. It was also within easy distance of the local restaurants, a laundrette and a petrol station which was very useful.

Not a bad place to stay but in the morning we found the toaster was broken (not the end of the world except we have a 1yr old who desperately wanted his toast for breakfast) it was too early to resolve but at checkout we let the guy on the front desk know and it sounds like it happens often and he didn't seem to care that it wasn't functioning. The shower pressure was a bit poor also.

Wonderful stay.
Exceptionally maintained, high end finishings, soft sheets. Friendly and Helpful staff.
A very pleasent overnight stay as we passed through. Comfortable, quiet, friendly staff/owner and a surpisingly nice view across the bay from our room.
I recommend the Avalon Motel.
