    Nicely designed and in modern colours and equipment. Cooking facilities are very basic, but the bathroom top notch - with the very best shower ever!!!

    "Booked and confirmed but no room !!" This was given a review of 2 stars (Below Expected)

    We booked in advance, got an e-mail to confirm, but when we checked-in, due to computer problems, our on-line booking was not received/seen. The host lady just gave her last room away just before us. In these modern times, especially if you have to run a business, there are other means to check on-line bookings or you take care that your system is up and running.

    She rang another accommodation where we could get a room but not under the same condition.

    "A pleasant surprise" This was given a review of 5 stars (Excellent)

    Initially I made an error with my booking, by one month. I called the Motel and this was not a problem.

    I was very impressed with the unit it had been refurbished tastefully and was very clean and had all the appliances in good working order. The shower is one of the best that I have used in a motel. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    A very pleasant nights stay.

    "Value for money" This was given a review of 3 stars (Average)

    The motel is away from the main highway and was quiet at the time we were there. The two bedroom accommodation provided everything needed for a one night stay and was very good value for money. There were plenty of towels, electric blankets on the beds and everything was clean.

    "Most comfortable unit stayed in on trip to South Island" This was given a review of 5 stars (Excellent)

    Spacious room and super king bed a treat to sleep in.

    Everything in unit spotless.

    Mini kitchenette - microwave only - a little challenging to cook a meal, but owner very helpful and provided additional cookware

    Would stay there again

    "Very rude manager" This was given a review of 2 stars (Below Expected)

    We arrived to this hotel after a very long and exhausting day in Murchison. I made the reservation a week in advance after a diligent search and was willing to pay a bit higher than the average nightly price for this hotel because it looked really nice and also had a king size bed. But when we arrived there we were shocked to learn that the manager made a mistake by booking us to a different day and that they were fully booked for the night which we were supposed to stay. The lady at the reception (I am guessing she was the wife of the hotel owner/manager) called her friend who owns a currently non-operational B&B and found a room for us. All that was acceptable even tough we were going to spend the night in a place which we did not choose. The problem was with the unacceptable attitude of this woman who said that we were very lucky and should be thankful to her for finding us this room. Although the mistake belonged to them, this lady was acting as if we should be thankful. Then I asked the obvious question: is it still the same price? I certainly did not want to pay that much to a room which was not operational and which I did not see and approve before. At that point, she got furious and said to me "I cant deal with you" and called her husband in. Her husband did a much better job in handling this situation and acted in a much mature way by offering us the option to pay less if we don't like the alternative. At the end, the B&B was ok but definitely not worth the high price I was originally planning to pay to this hotel.

    Very sorry about the over charge Allan.Our prices went up in October to cover our gst increase. We did not see at the time that you had made your booking back in June. If you had pointed out the fact you had been quoted $130 we would have charged $130. We have your details & will be sending you a $10 refund.

    "poor customer service" This was given a review of 1 star (Poor)

    I was shocked at the lack of customer service at this motel. We had car trouble on our way to the motel, the phone number didn't work, and when we arrived at 10pm, they were closed and there was no way to reach anyone. We came back first thing in the morning to explain what happened (after leaving a note on the doorstep) and the woman was completely rude and unaccommodating. I would not recommend staying here to anyone. The lazy cow is a hostel a block away and is a million times better--totally accommodating and the price can't be beat!

    We are contactable 24-7. No contact was made. Your eta was 3pm. I watched a TV program that after checking finished at 10.30pm still no show.I spoke to Ali from The Lazy Cow she remembered you as very late arrivals but could not remember the time. Very sorry girls but it is not my fault you got lost. If you had made contact we would have directed you to your motel unit. As for the rudeness it is not the sole wright of guests to be rude.
