~hotelier was lovely! & thoughtful of our sad situation, genuine & hospitable on phone & in person ~loved size of rooms ~value for money ~spa & large mirrors in bathroom ~comfy beds ~clean ~warm with aircon, electric blankets ~enough tea, coffee etc ~felt nice & safe ~close to town ~other family members stayed in other apartments & we were impressed with how different & large all the apartments were

A couple of maintenance things in apartment but they didn't bother us (one spa jet didn't work, one venetian didn't open). I think the pool gate didn't lock fully? Please check.. The pool area is absolutely beautiful!

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional experience I had during my recent stay at Hobsons Choice Motel in Dargaville. From the moment we checked into their establishment, we were greeted with warmth from the lovely lady at the front desk. The room provided was well presented, comfortable and impeccably clean. The bed was very comfortable and so lovely to sleep on. What truly made our stay memorable was the peaceful environment the motel offered. It provided the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation that allowed us to unwind after a long day of travel. Thank you once again for providing such a wonderful accommodation option. I will certainly be recommending Hobsons Choice Motel to my friends and family, and I look forward to the opportunity to return in the future. Warm regards, Antoni & Henrietta TEPAA Room 12

We should have stayed longer, had to rush back to Auckland early. So sad...

A fairly typical NZ motel room, similar to others as experienced by us on our (so far) near six week grand tour. Well equipped, but becoming slightly worn and dated. Not be best, but by no means the worst, and we would happily stay here again. A nice welcome upon check in - we were shown to the room (only a few places go to the trouble).

Very little, and certainly nothing to complain about. A bit out of town, but still walkable. Some road noise, but not unexpected given that the motel is by a main road (shutting the windows and using the aircon resolved that issue!)

Easy to find, close to town, swimming pools, park Clean rooms, with good amount of towels Lovely clean bathrooms with working spa baths Nice size fridge and kitchen Tidy complex, love all the plant life around Friendly service. Very accommodating.

The bugs at night, bt I expect that by a large body of water. Otherwise nothing really. Bit tight for our mini bus to maneuver around complex bt that's about it

Nice Motel. Being an older design it meant our room (with spa bath) had more space than most modern motel rooms. Staff were friendly and when we checked out asked if everything had been to our satisfaction. It was also surprisingly quiet (although it was mid week). Also good price.

There was nothing we didn't like. Everything was clean, quiet and spacious. The only maintenance item was the main bathroom light bulb had blown but there was another light over the mirror so it was not a big deal.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. He let us know how to get on sky, when he noticed through the window that we had the screen on the wrong page for a long time. The spa was a bonus! We enjoyed it. Thank you.

They had everything we needed. A pair of scissors would have been more helpful in the kitchen. I had nothing else to add, apart from thank you for the lovely stay.

We had arrived early at 11am and we couldn’t check in but the lady at reception was so kind to quickly get a room ready for us which we really appreciated! Everything was so perfect! Comfy beds, clean sheets and pillow. Room was a good size. Pool was a bonus it was the first thing we went to once we checked in. Location was a bang as well! Literally the town centre is 1min drive down the road. Definitely recommend to family and friends and definitely will be back.

Parking can be abit difficult in front of your room as other guests park along as well but there are other parking on site which was still ok and still close to our room. We stayed in Room 20 so wifi was difficult. It wasn’t really strong lost connection most of the times that we had to use our own data.

room was perfect for two people, had everything needed for a 1-night stay. was clean and smelt fresh, bed was comfortable. my son,daughterinlaw stayed there the following week with their 3 children and were pleased.👍👍

Only issue which is very minor and probably a oversight there were no towels in our bathroom upon arrival. As we were next to the laundry the lady in there came in and fixed the issue straight away and was very apologetic. So I classed this as nothing of a concern.👌👌

Everything was everything and more. The staff and owners were extremely helpful. It made a refreshing weekend.

We would have liked breakfast but unfortunately, they stopped the offer now! Possibly because we could accommodate by making our own. Which was why we marked the above. Because it was our first time there and not knowing the system it would have been helpful to have let us know so that we could have brought food ourselves!

My kids loved it there, the spa bath was the best part. Overall we had a great week there and we do plan on returning in the near future. Thank you for having us.

There was nothing we didn't like. It was all a fun, enjoyable week had with the kids
