We where looking for a one night motel and looked around. Indeed few others recommended on this site are more recent with that asceptic look but their price is also 40% higher.

This motel is situated just beside the Riverview Motel, opposite the river, near the old bridge to the Kuwai playground. It's not very modern deco, but it's clean, the rooms are bigger (than all others seen) with a big kitchen and people are welcoming.

We were wondering if the road noise would be annoying but traffic was actually minimum and we didnt hear anything.
The owner nicely offered us a further 10% discount.

If you are not fussy and like to save 40-50 NZD , I definitely recommend this motel. more
