Old but tidy room. Bathroom was a let down - no towels and no shower curtain. Luckily we had towels with us after being on the road for 2 weeks around the South Island, but having no shower curtain in there meant, when we showered the bathroom flooded.
Nice quiet motel just off main thoroughfare, good accomodation and facilities within 10minute walking distance to several eating places and five minute drive to the ferry
Great stopover for a ferry crossing the next day. Massive double rooms and lounge so plenty of space and an easy walk to town for dinner and breakfast the next day
Very close to town and eating establishments. Visited our stingray friends cruising in and out of the boats and piers. Very close to the Ferries for an early morning sail.
Very conveniently located to the ferry terminal and minutes away from the harbour area. The staff was friendly and more than willing to supply what we needed.
Room was large and sufficient, a bit outdated but worked for our needs.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Was based on a close run to the ferry for an early morning crossing.
Nice place, great check in and friendly staff clean and tidy just a bit dated
A great place to stay for getting on the Interislander ferry in the early morning!
Comfortable, compact room - it was a studio room with microwave and fridge - no kitchen sink or cooking facilities. Bed and bathroom facilities good.
