My colleague Jo and I stayed only one night on our way to a local noho marae (marae experience). We checked in late at 2300hrs (AirNZ night rider) and was welcomed with a warm hearty smile from Gary despite the time. We went up to our room and was pleasantly surprised with the standard of the unit (1 queen and... More

Spent to good nights at this motel. Was very clean ant tidy, Arrived alittle early but a room was found for us. Very close to petone . Right on beach fron which was great for walks. The actual beach not very attractive.Staff helpful & friendly. Bed firm and comfortable

Stayed here twice now on business. Cleanliness: perfect. Location: very good for where we needed to be. Very close to all the awesome cafes in Petone. Only downside is noisy main road (can't be avoided) and some kind of truck yard behind the motel. Best to bring earplugs just in case you need them. Rooms: large, adequate. Comfy bed. The... More

Was not given a refund even though a friend drove past two hours later and saw that my room had been rebooked and sold to another person. very disappointed. Cost this motor lodge 18 months of firm bookings from me as I worked... More

Location in Petone was great - Jackson Street was a short stroll away, and there were nice walks along the beach. Unit was modern and comfortable. The bed was firm - to our taste, maybe not to others'. There is a great Turkish restaurant nearby in Jackson Street - Kilim. Highly recommended to go there and eat. There is also... More

The owners where nice to make us an offer for the night when we really needed a good bed, a hot shower and some indoor time after more then 2 weeks in a small camper van. The motel is easy to find a a short driving distance from downtown. What can I say, we arrived with a bang... We managed... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed our comfortable, very clean room. Nice decor and motel is right across the street from the beach and pier. The room was bright and very well equipped. Besides receiving fresh milk we also received free bottled water, too. The owners were very friendly and helpful with our requests and directions or... More

Stayed here for two nights with my brother. It is a little on the small side but given the fact that this is reflected in the price it was ok. We originally booked a upstairs seaview unit but because apparently they can't accommodate twin configuration we ended up having a downstairs one instead (same price though). It is easy to... More

We had an upstairs Studio unit on the front with views over the bay. Great accommodation, well furnished and clean. We are Moteliers so can be very fussy about where we stay but we were very happy with the accommodation. Great service from the helpful owners, really appreciated the bottled water and would highly recommend "83" as a place to... More
