This place regretably takes pride of place on my list of worst places ever stayed. And I once stayed in a place in England that had a shower in the toilet, so that is saying something. The decor is horribly dated, the whole place is old and just not maintained well. I had dead bugs in my room and an... More

I havent had the need to comment on any accommodation before, but my experience here will be with me forever!! Where do I start. The rooms (whole property) is tired, it felt like either no one had stayed in our room or had been serviced for some time. There were dead bugs all through the unit, dust on the glass... More

I don't usually write these sort of things but the experience I had of this motel was pretty horrendous. Firstly on going in to our bedroom my husband asked if that was my sock on the floor! Of course it wasn't. No sockets in the bathroom to plug hairdryer (not available). One mirror - in bathroom face only!!! Not clean... More

Broken toilet, spiders and cobwebs in bathroom, grafitti on asbestos ceiling, just filthy??? I couldn't even face them the next morning to complain Photo above must have been taken when motor...

Dreadful. Insecure units - anyone could break in, beds that slope into the middle, heavy flat pillows, half the lights don't work, our unit smelled of stale sweat, graffiti on the ceiling, nest of spiders in the bath, old TV with broken remote, no smoke alarm, worn out towels. All this for 130 dollars. This motel hasn't seen a makeover... More

Thanks so much Riverside, you have helped me realise that I must ALWAYS check tripadvisor before booking accomodation. I arrived with my elderly father and young son for the weekend attending a football tournament. OOOOOWHEEEEE! I had no idea places like this existed in NZ! I have stayed in cleaner, nicer places in third world countries for a fraction of... More

We nearly turned around and left (should have actually). They had kindly supplied us with a jug of rancid, gelified milk in the fridge for our coffees. The bed was two singles pushed together. My electric blanket didn't even have any socket nearby to plug in. I had to use the iron to press a white shirt but didn't realise... More
