Beautifully clean. Very comfy bed. Lot's of personal touches. Generous quantities of deliciously scented bathroom toiletries 😊 Kitchenette adequate size with good quality accessories including an espresso machine! Upstairs unit 9 at the end was bright & airy. Very quiet ceiling fan. Outside balcony table & chairs to sit in the sun for breakfast 🌞 Has a wee pool for a dip.. 1m deep only..but nice to cool off in. Friendly & helpful reception from Peter.

Not much to not like! The shower was very small, larger would have been nicer. Also a movable shower head would have been good. Some noise from the main road.

We had a 3 bedroomed apartment for our stay. The rooms were a great size and there was a good sized kitchen and lounge area. The property was clean and the hosts were great. They have recently taken over the business. They were around and happy to speak and give advice or help when things were not working. (our tv needed to be reset). Nothing was too much trouble. We stayed here as a base to explore the wineries so it was a good base. There was a lovely restaurant called Gramado's a 2 minute walk away from the hotel that had a good menu and lovely wines.

The hotel is situated on the main road -SH1 and the apartment we had was on the side of the building so we experienced a great deal of traffic noise and building shuddering as big trucks thundered past at all times of the night. The windows had to be closed at night but it didn't help much with the noise. There was only one bathroom in the apartment and for a 3 bed it would have been good to have an additional toilet.

Fantastic host. Awesome location. This place has everything available for your use. Simon gave us whatever we needed to clean our gear after doing the Queen Charlotte walk. The room was spacious and well equipped. The facilities were incredible. Easy to walk to town and New World is just up the road. And the coffee cart was an added bonus. I can't recommend this property enough. Thank you so much for making our stay so special

The hosts here were exceptional and went out of their way to accommodate us. Especially at 5.30 on a Saturday when we needed to change the double bed to two single beds. We also needed some extra crockery and cutlery and this was supplied with with a smile and a request whether or not we required anything else. Our rooms and the living area were great and very comfortable.

A fan in the bathroom would be the only thing missing.

Check-in was quick and staff were friendly. It was a good sized room with a comfortable bed. The kitchenette had a good sized small fridge and an easy to use cooktop. Although it was upstairs the stairs are easy to negotiate & aren’t steep. We were very happy we’d chosen this motel. Very happy to have a later check out time as well.

The shower recess was small. Everything else was very good indeed.

Everything from the personalised touches to the rooms, the layout of the apartments, the cleanliness, the extremely well equipped kitchen, and a fantastic welcome from the owner, Simon. My family rested so well during our stay and were very comfortable. I have not met another motel owner who obviously takes pride in upkeeping his motel to ensure the comfort of his guests

We liked everything!!!

Super family friendly spot! Rooms feel just like home! Great service from Peter we booked the 3 bedroom unit and it was an amazing deal for the 6-7 of us! I couldn’t make it though my family said the room was clean, neat, smelt nice, and Peter was friendly. Not super fancy or maybe as modern but for family trips that value time over materials this is the spot to be!

The studio was equipped with everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. I loved the extra touches, like magazines, beautiful toiletries and a bonus coffee machine. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and had some great tourist tips for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Great nights stay, staff were excellent - so friendly and helpful with suggestions for the local area. The room was very spacious, clean and modern. Bathroom was spotless and had a powerful shower. Convenient location to visit the vineyards in Malborough.

Can hear the noise from the road slightly but didn't bother us hugely.

Super friendly and helpful staff, good facilities, comfy beds, and nice layout in the communal area. One of the best restaurants is only a few minutes walk away.

Sleeping in the alcove in the lounge meant a lot of road noise and I was woken by trucks during the night. Need good ear plugs!
