Such a nice, modern and clean room. Really, one of the best rooms I have stayed in during my NZ travels. The room is well designed. When you enter there's a row of tiles in case you have dirty or wet shoes. Then there's very soft and comfy carpet. Bed was nice and the shower has a roof on it. Great way to prevent mold in the bathroom and keeping the heat and water inside the shower cabin.

Not a single negative thing.

Breakfast was not included. We were looking for a last minute, centrally placed, inexpensive stop and the motel exceeded what we expected. Far more spacious than we anticipated, we were not disturbed by any external noise and the location for walking to breakfast and dinner was superb.

The external surroundings are practical ie concrete everywhere and no gardens.

Was very spacious, bed was comfortable and great to have smart tv with Netflix. The motel was very accommodating and let us check in early as we had a family funeral to attend. Fantastic friendly staff 10/10

I would have liked more plunger coffee and milk provided, also conditioner for hair. We found the pumps for shampoo in shower hard to push down as bottles were big.

Very friendly welcome on arrival, with plenty of relevant material also available concerning local attractions. Lovely large studio style room containing an exceptionally large bed and comfortable furnishings which made working at the table or watching television both pleasurable. Wonderful; stocked kitchen which they ensured was provided with sufficient complimentary refreshments for the duration of our stay. Bathroom was sufficiently large enough, as was the shower, with towels replaced daily. Great location. Very close to the retail section of Gore. Despite being on a main highway, also a very quiet location. We are already looking at making a return visit.

Only niggle would be that the shower temperature fluctuated somewhat, although may also be due to the fact that the Motel was full, and it is just possible that many were using the shower at the same time. Only other niggle would be the very limited plunger mechanism of the complementary shower gel and shampoo bottles. In the end, we resorted to using our own supply.

Very modern and clean units. Nice and quiet. Very good value for money.

Thought for Gore, heat pumps would have been a better choice. We travelled in winter and gore has heavy frosts, so there was a lot of condensation in the morning. The wall heater just didn't do the trick.
