Awesome hotel.
Fantastic motel with fantastic hosts. Another open plan, help yourself to anything place. No food or drink allowed in rooms but there is a huge kitchen and dining area and outside and multiple lounges, games rooms, studies, music rooms and hot tub. Guitars and a piano, table tennis, pool table and dartboard to play with as well.

Lovely stay in queen room with harbour view. Very quiet although noise from port can be disturbing early morning. Lovely property which is well kept and cared for. Some officious rules with food in rooms and lounges but understand why.

Don’t miss this motel
Hadn’t stayed at a backpackers motel before, couldn’t believe how good and varied the facilities were. Breakfast was homemade scones, or toast, delicious, and included in price. What a wonderful introduction to the South Island.

Quirky accommodation (converted caravan) which wasn't what I was expecting. Friendly, helpful staff. Distance from bathroom facilities a bit of an issue during the night. Very noisy with loading/unloading from the wharf - especially on a still night. But for $80 a night one has to be pragmatic.
