Staff are very friendly. Room was very clean and spacious. Had all the thibgs you need.
Laundry service extremely well organised. Although there was not a supermarket close at hand (for foot traffic), there was a wonderful restaurant nearby. On the whole t motel is centrally located. E Hayes about 1.5 km away, and Bill Richardson Museum 3 km from town. The hostess and family were so helpful. Kitchen and facilities well appointed
Office staff amazing and very helpful. Heater was on and room very inviting.
We were going to Rakiura for only one night but were able to leave our main luggage with motel as we were coming back to them.
Recommendef restaurant, The saucy chef, was amazing.
Only downside was water pressure in shower.
