We travelled down from the Bay of Islands to Palmerston North this motel is 30min drive out so not far at all. Its located just off the main highway, very quite but is close to Foxton shopping centre. The host that greeted me was very friendly, gave me an ensight of the area and direction to the beach, restaurants and local businesses. The room was very clean & warm, bed very comfortable which is a bonus if your on the road for hours. Although this motel is quite old style, it has all the essentials needed, double bed with a single situated side by side. Full kitchen with a breakfast bench, great shower. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this motel. It's not the fancyest but definitely was homely. If your a person or family of 3 and not wanting to stay in the city of Palmerston North this is definitely a quite location you're enjoy. Thank you for the hospitality 😊

I liked we could have our dog with us without any fuss. He was not allowed on furniture but that was ok. There is a grass area in front of our unit so was very easy to toilet him. Units are not super modern, but they had everything what we needed. I liked the unit was spacious. I would appreciate better rubbish bin in the unit and maybe some outside with bins for recycling.

Was surprised at how spacious the family room was as well as the overnight cost for 2 adults and 3 grandchildren. It was definitely in our price range. Would definitely stay again.

I have passed through Foxton so many times and always thought one day I must stay and look around. I was expecting a basic truck stop here but was pleasantly surprised. It is not for people wanting resort-style accommodation, but the unit was large, comfortable and well-equipped for all your needs. It was like having a personal flat for the couple of nights I stayed. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Mid afternoon passing trucks on SH1 can be a bit audible, though the units are set well back and I didn't find it intrusive. Afternoon/evening sun flooded in.
