    Loved that it was an extreamly quiet location but walking distance to the shops. The cleanliness of our room was great especially the bathroom and the little extras provided such as the mints, face wipes, cotton buds etc were a lovely touch.

    This is a gem. We chose this stop to make our way to Cristchurch a little bit easier. Modern, fresh motel with a lovely staff. Comfortable, clean with a great attention for detail. Real gem at the middle of the desert.

  • Are you pet friendly?

    We love pets and would not prevent anyone travelling with their furry friends, but we cannot allow pets into rooms - the next people in may have allergies. Hope you understand.
