Guest reviews

"Room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the Spa. It was close to the function we attended"

Avis de Laura Burgundy Rose Motel

"Room was extremely clean, lots of towels, pillows and spare blankets. The hosts were amongst the friendliest and most helpful I've ever experienced. The bed was comfortable as were the couch and available chairs. The whole motel was well laid out and beautifully organized. A real home away from home."

Avis de Rob Kapiti Lindale Motel and Conference Centre

"The location is excellent - well within walking distance to everything we wanted to get to. This is an older motel, but the renovations and the decor were just fine. Clean, tidy, with everything we needed to cook our own meals. If you're after ultra-posh, this isn't for you, but if you're after a unit that is clean, tidy, comfortable and well located, this is great value."

Avis de David Amber Court Motel

"Everything was perfect. We went with our kids and we found it a perfect place to stay with them"

Avis de Guadalupe Parklands Marina Holiday Park

"The location is excellent, close to the boat stop for Abel Tasman National Park, restaurants, and supermarkets, making it very convenient. The rooms are clean, and the kitchen facilities are small but convenient. The front desk staff are very friendly and patiently resolve any issues you may have. This is a suitable place to stay if you are planning to visit Abel Tasman National Park."

Avis de Kuo Kaiteri Lodge
