Staff were friendly on arrival and provided guidance on activities and sights to see. Room was large and spacious for our family of 4 with 2 beds in one room and a separate bed in the main area. Bathroom had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Room heating was good. Great location within walking distance to Countdown.

Trivial things but did stop a perfect experience. 1st floor room but no balcony to sit outside. No lift to help with luggage to 1st floor, only stairs at each end of the complex. On the main road so getting out across traffic was a small issue, luckily not much traffic.

The apartment was quite modern, new, and of a very good size. It had all essentials, including a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. Especially, we liked the bathroom, which was quite luxury, with a spa bath and underfloor heating. The bedroom was good size and cosy with comfy beds. The staff were kind and welcoming. The motel is well-located in close proximity to the city centre. It's worth noting that it was one of few places in NZ that did not take the payment in advance (although we stayed there only 1 night). Also, we arrived quite late and overstayed by half an hour, but no one made a problem because of it. Definitely, a place to recommend.

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

Cleanliness was outstanding throughout the unit. Almost everything was supplied that we would need. The beds were comfortable and there was enough bedding.

The picture on the wall above the single bed should have been hung securely - it did fall down but luckily it wasn't a night when Mum was in the bed. I suggest this is hung in a better fashion. There was too much light pouring into the room at night through the glass door panels - the stairwell lighting was too bright. It was a bit hard to have a meal together since there was no table that the three of us could use. That was not really a major problem, but I didn't want to spill food on the bed.

This is a great motel on the western edge of the interesting little town of Stratford which does all the things it can to link it to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon. The motel is right next door to the Countdown supermarket and the kitchenette is well equipped and ideal for self catering. We were upgraded from a one to two bedroom apartment which meant a separate room for the cases but in fairness, all the apartments are a good size. As well as the kitchenette, there's a dining table and chairs and a good sized comfortable seating area. We were also kindly moved from Room 4 to Room 10 to be further away from the road and when we wanted an extra night, again the staff were prepared to do the extra jiggling in order that we could stay in the same room. We even got to see Taranaki from the garden - it's only the one premium room that would have the view of it but the gardens at the back are peaceful. Spa bath was excellent as was the shower. Good toiletries and clean and looked after.

The only issue in some rooms would be the noise from the road and they can't do anything about that.

We hoped for a good room but got an outstanding one! Spotlessly clean, modern and very well equipped. We had the Mountain View Studio which offered wonderful views of Taranaki from the bed, from the patio, from the 40 degree hot tub. We self catered and it was incredibly convenient to have a supermarket a 2 minute walk down the road. The bed was comfortable and there were 2 arm chairs with footrests. The room was very private and positioned at the far end of the motel. Housekeeping staff were very attentive with daily cleans and fresh towels on offer.

Nothing.

The rooms were spacious. The bathroom was fully equiped with excellent water pressure and a large shower space. There were good kitchen facilities as well. The bed was comfortable and the apartment also contained a spare single bad and sofa bed. Wifi was fast and free. The property was in easy driving distance of Egmont National Park.

The bars, restaurants and cafes in the town were not particularly exciting.

It's a fairly new motel. The rooms are well appointed, comfortable. Conveniently next to a Countdown so it is easy to grab a ready meal to heat in the microwave. Places to eat in the centre of Stratford may be reached on foot but you'd probably want to drive..

Just on the west side of Stratford on the A3. As it is built sideways on to the road, the traffic noise is lessened but is sometimes loud, though not intrusive.

First and foremost the truly magnificent view of Mount Taranaki at the back. Spacious room with excellent beds. Looked quite new. A little bed higher tech than other motels we had (heat pump, key cards, fancy switches, bubble bath). Easy parking and supermarket next door.

The motel is directly next to the SH3 and a railroad track next to that. So in early morning it was a bit noisy.

We arrived after a long and tiring drive. The weather was cold and wet. The room was a clean, comfortable, warm haven. Check in was quick and straight forward. Although the motel is on the main road, there was no road noise in the room.

IWe were in a second story room. I should have booked ground floor and I am elderly and struggled to carry my case up the stairs.

The Motel exceeded our expectations as the room was spacious and we had booked a twin room which included a single bed as well as a double bed. The bathroom was very clean and well-appointed with an excellent shower. We upgraded the room as we wanted to stay an additional night which was easily arranged. The rooms were cleaned every day and we were very happy with the service provided. The Motel contacted us after we left to let us know we had left a book and a sun hat in the room which I thought was great service.
