The size of the rooms was really great. Heating was lovely especially with the wet weather. Plenty of towels provided for both bathroom as well as the spa. The playground was also suitable for our two active grandchildren who love climbing..ages 4 & 7. The x2 laundry machines were a good size and the dryers were able to complete a cycle with really dry clothes. (powder supplied as well!) Mirrored glass windows ensured privacy.

Parking parallel was a tad tight... Noise/sound from upstairs t.v. (open plan) carried downstairs/ and vice versa. The spa plug is in the bottom/middle and hard to reach.... Had to physically get in to put plug in and when children had finished without pulling the plug, it required someone to get into the water to pull the plug... Last day - the staff doing service forgot to complete bottom room - bed/towels - check tea/coffee service.... (Great selection of items though) Could have told reception, but we managed!!

Conveniently located next to a Woolworths, around 5 min walking distance (same sidewalk). The free geo-therm park is 4 min drive, and other paid parks are fairly close by driving. The private hot pool was great, and the room was cozy, so we had a great overall experience here. The TV are recently renewed and are not only good quality but provide a built-in casting experience which was very convenient.

The hot pool area was not cleaned at all, there was dust and leafs all around. On our first day, there was a lot of group noise coming from other room(s) until late night. The bathroom could also use a renovation.

Location spot on to drive into town in a few minutes.easy access to local tourist attractions. Liked the accommodation spa area hidden and ideal for drying any washing on a rack, as it was all enclosed. Washing machine and dryers room on site.. Water or powder the clothes dried in rack in spa area and hardly needed an iron..must be that the water as clothes felt soft…. The patio windows were very private we could see out and no one could see in so very private a bonus! No view as it’s a motel but the shrubs were trimmed and very tidy some in flower….

Maybe some toilet cleaner and a scrub around the bowl..could be the water has minerals in it that stain easily and hard to remove ? Also the bathroom tap I felt needed some cleaner and elbow grease …only those two things were annoying to me..am I too fussy 😩 maybe 🤔

This was our 3rd stay as a family, and we absolutely love this place. The size of the rooms were generous, and the beds were cozy and comfortable. In the family room, all the beds were upstairs in the loft with the living room, kitchenette, and bathroom downstairs. There were 2 heatpumps. A separate spa room downstairs in a closed space was a bonus, and kids had fun. The place was pristine clean, dont forget to pat the friendly dwelling cat, Borris. Recommend this place for a family who'd like to have a comfortable stay and be close to the city center.

I don't mean the readers to see this as a minus as it's just an experience. The bathroom was clean and in excellent condition! The shower was separated by a rolling curtain. It's just my personal choice, but I would've liked a cubicle. The kids danced from right to left🙂 after opening the nozzle, which gushed cold water at first before turning all the way to hot.. But anyway, it's trivial compared to the awesome stay we had in the place.

Highly Recommend !! Our Loft was nothing but great for our small family of 3. We were kindly greeted by Maggie who showed us to, and around our room which made the stay that little bit more welcoming. Rooms and bathroom were clean, warm, spacious and cosy. Private Spa was such a win, we absolutely loved that. The location of the property is central and only a couple minutes walk/drive away from most activites, restaurants/cafes and supermarkets. On sight playground was a bonus for us and our toddler. We will definitely stay here again after this amazing stay🥰

Good location not too far from the city centre. Very friendly staff and several friendly cats around aswell. The room was clean and tidy with plenty of space and surfaces to spread out. Spacious bathroom. Loved the private access outdoor spa bath that was tucked away at the rear end of the hotel and very quiet. Kitchenette is reasonably well equipped and things like tea, coffee and hot chocolate are refilled daily. Large selection of channels on the TV

The mattress was, unfortunately, very soft and therefore not very comfortable. Casting onto the TVs was patchy and wouldn't work at all for me (Android) and only with issues for my partner (iOS). The internet, in general, was also quite slow. The stairs in our room were very creaky, which won't be an issue for most people, but it was difficult for us to walk the stairs without waking up our daughter.

Our room was exceptionally clean and it smelt beautiful when we walked in. The kitchen is sufficiently equipped with all kinds of utensils whereby you can easily cook a meal. Lots of space and storage room. Two televisions that actually work with lots of channels. Great location, close to supermarkets and restaurants. They clearly take pride in their work.

Our room (15) is right next to the smokers area. We were closing the doors every time someone was smoking. Heat pump wasn’t working but it wasn’t an issue. We had alternative means to heat the room if required.

Location is perfect! The place I normally go to was booked out and Arista kept popping up when I looked further. Your cat was very friendly gave us a welcome, came into the place with us when we arrived. Hung around, then left. Also just loved the Loft vibe, high ceilings, separate living space to the rooms. Because my mum started to get sick the last day, she could stay upstairs and rest while I did my work downstairs. I loved the journey your family have been on, its a beautiful story to how you all started to now😊Whanau vibes.

Everything was fine. If I were to add something it would be location of powerpoints were too far from the kitchen table when I had to use my labtop. But that was a easy fix and maybe just add a small table to go with the chairs outside by the spa. There's a lot of space outside. I like being outside as well.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the motel room was! The layout of the room was perfect. I slept best in bed, and the private spa was the icing on the cake. The room had everything one could ask for. It's the best location to access everything. If you get a chance to read the book about the origins of the motel do so! The cats are also a valued addition. I will be staying here again.

I know it's only one car park per room, and there was off-street parking behind the motel. My only suggestion would be that there is access from the off-street to the motel without having to jump the fence and that the additional car park be closed in. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my car parked in an area that wasn't fully lit up.

Loved the room set up !!! Was a gorgeous layout

I'd be happy if the cleaning service wasn't in my room while out. I don't like being wasteful with resources. I'd like a sticker that I can place on the door to say cleaning isn't necessary today just to save utilities such as water, power, cleaning products ect I'm a cleanly person so I keep things tidy clean and orderly a sticker helps those who are like minded keep rooms clean ourselves and those that prefer to have rooms cleaned do not have to display the sticker
