we recently stayed one night at the Fitzherbert Castle and it was very clean and comfortable. The room was pretty big and the bed was also quite large and very comfy! Plenty of parking and close to the town. good price (NZD115). We didn't try the 'spa bath' though! More

I dont usually complain ....Stayed one night here ...$115 a night for a good sized room with a king bed - spa bath advertised is just your usual sized bath with jets which was a bit misleading. In a room with an adjoining door to another room which sadly allowed us to hear every move and our neighbours made including... More

We were one of only two rooms being used at the hotel. Friendly reception, close to the town, clean spacious rooms, who could ask for more! :) More

Amazing place. Really clean and comfy beds. Great location to the square. Management were very friendly and helpful. I would definately recommend this place. Spongy carpet. Lollies and biscuits filled up each day. Stayed only 2 nights but would definately go back. More

It really looks like a castle. You may think this weird, until you've seen the room. Large is not the word... Sumptuous! More

Our stay at the Fitzherbert Castle Motel was an enjoyable one, and we would recommend this establishment to anyone. We stayed in a studio with a king bed and single spa bath. Our arrival was in the early evening, and the hosts had the heat on in our room to have it comfortable upon arrival. The hotel’s outside appearance is... More

I get to spend a lot of nights in motels around NZ and it is great to be able to check in and know everything is as it should be. Nice touches are the spa baths, the chocolates and cookies in the room. Hosts had been good enought to ensure the room had been heated before arrival. Cooked breakfast in... More

Stayed here just one night. On a busy and unattractive thoroughfare, but centrally located. The rooms display a rather tacky 80s interior, but offer enough room and the bathroom was pretty large. As can be expected for a motel, there's ample off street parking. The staff was helpful and friendly. More

In town to visit my father and then onto his subsequent funeral. Diane and the staff at Fitzherbert castle were great. 200Mb of free wifi through Zenbu allowed me to keep up to date. Our room is spacious and clean. It is a short walk to the square and my car is parked right outside. In fact, I am writing... More
