Riverside Motel

10/10 Excellent

151 on London Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very good. The room looked clean, the staff gave me a call and messaged me about the details of the room and required facilities prior which was actually very helpful, no problem with the parking at all, and we had a really good time. We were so tired but this stay gave us a good relaxation and sound sleep. Also, my husband left his jacket so I reached out them, I was really happy to see them responding very quick, friendly conversation, and very thankful for their help to get the jacket to Auckland via delivery. Overall, I loved the stay and will definitely come in the future."

"Super friendly host, responsive & on hand when we had a question! I would stay here again, it's quiet and secure, with a lifestyle block vibe. We arrived in the dark, found access easy, and the kitchen stocked thoughtfully with milk, tea & Nespresso, fresh fruit and snacks. Bear in mind this is a compact tiny house, not made for swinging cats ;)"
