Reviews
I stayed here with my bf and my dad after we walked the Abel Tasman. Lisa was super helpful and friendly, from booking through to checkout. The motel is a bit old and tired, but very clean and well cared for. Beds were comfortable and warm, shower was hot and good pressure, kitchen had everything we could possibly need, including fresh milk, comfortable dining and living areas. Thanks Lisa, for a very pleasant stay!
