Historical motel with a good description but the location is not close to the restaurant and supermarket. Good to stay for a night for a drive break on road trip.

We stayed in the Victoria suite, which was lovingly and thoughtfully restored from a former bank building. The wallpaper and furnishings and decor were quite impressive, as was the clawfoot bathtub in one of the bathrooms. Parking was available in the driveway right next to the suite. There was air conditioning that could be adjusted, and plenty of towels. A sink with provision to make coffee in the morning – would’ve been nice to have some glasses rather than just cups, but overall the place was lovely. There was a loveseat and several chairs in the living room, and the beds were made up beautifully and were very comfortable. There are glowworm caves at the back of the property, but we were slightly discouraged from going to see them by the gal who checked us in, so you might want to ask a few more questions. There is a glowworm wall just before you arrive in town on the left-hand side of the road, which is signed. You can have dinner or breakfast there – we chose to go into town which is about a 15 to 20 minute drive. It’s about 45 minutes plus to Hokitaka Gorge. Lovely place – I highly recommend it!

The restaurant on the property was great to have.

Not as good as when I stayed a couple of years ago. The room wasn’t very clean and the shower gel and shampoo had run out and not been replaced. Was quite musty smelling which wasn’t great for hayfever. Was quite disappointed.

The presentation made you go wow when you walked in.

Nice cabin setting with an outdoor deck with a large table and a natural view. Large rooms, well appointed for travelling. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was very good.

The decor was carefully restored to an early 1900 era. The staff was friendly. We were not aware that our room would be across the road but the key issue was that our suite (Seddon) had a musty smell more pronounced in the main area . We were not able to use that room and kept the bedroom door closed.

Room and adjacent living room were great and cool antique furnishings. Food at restaurant was delicious for dinner. Breakfast was okay. Staff extremely nice and accomodating. Loved the huge footed tub. Not crazy about the trucks going by our bedroom window on the main road. Might be good to reconfigure so bed on other side of wall and seating area on the street side.

Lovely place, cool decor, everything you need.

Rooms although a little cramped were clean and tidy
