    All of the facilities are really good. Actually it exceeds our expectations. we haven't used the GYM and SPA . Had a lovely evening in the private jacuzzi. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and for your great hospitality. I would say it's next level staff service compared to other motels and hotels that I've been in New Zealand.

    The rooms were really comfortable, spacious and clean. While it's an older place, it's still quite comfortable and kept tidy and clean. We found the place so well located for our short stay in Hanmer. Dale who organised our stay and I believe owned the motel was also very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Loved it, thanks.

    Superb all round. Terrific friendly staff. And ... a rarity amongst NZ motels ... good coffee along with proper milk - so simple, yet so rare. Room was warmed in anticipation of our late arrival back from the pools.
