Requested room off the road and was accommodated. Room was very quiet and clean. Staff were super friendly, loaned us a steamer from their house. Kitchen was great, unit was roomy, could use a bit of updating but comfortable and convenient.

We had booked a Standard Suite, 1 Bedroom, Non Smoking, Kitchen (unit / twin) but when we checked in we were allocated a different room - A Premium Room 1 King. The person at reception told us that "Last Minute" had advised him that this was the room that we booked. He couldn't do anything about it and to take the matter up with "Last Minute". CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED? We had booked accommodation via "Last Minute" several times during the previous weeks without a problem. In addition We had to wash the dishes in the bathroom hand basin because there was no kitchenette sink. We also used the bathroom handbasin to fill the kettle but the kettle was difficult to fill because it did not fit properly under the tap. The glasses were dirty and they stuck to the inside of the cupboard The cutlery and cups were also dirty, we had to wash these ourselves before using them. The doona covered just covered the bed. Face washers were not supplied. The "last Minute" website advertised “Laundry Facilities” however there was no laundry, We were advised that the Hotel provided a laundry SERVICE and would do a our washing for $10.00.

Comfortable, suited our requirements

Perfect for our needs. Nice to have pool on a hot day. Dated but comfortable. Would have been nice to have milk and ordinary teabags, only Earl Gray provided. Unfortunately very noisy people in unit next door, coming and going, very loud, until 4am. Would recommend

The motel is located next to the state highway, convenient to access, to 15 minutes from the Waitomo caves. The host, Margeret is very friendly and helpful. She provided milk when we checked-in, and also offered to dry our wet cloth that we got from the previous activity. Although the facility is not the newest but it's very clean and convenient. I am happy that we stayed there for the night.
