All very clean, spacious and comfortable. It was also a kind thought to put an electric heater on and to find a small milk in the fridge.

This motel suited my needs well. After hiking at Mt Cook I needed a quiet place to get a good sleep and I found it here. The small town is full of friendly folk as well.

I was really impressed with the attention to detail. The room was beautifully presented and Erin (the owner) has obviously poured a lot of love into this place. Bravo. I stayed at the motel as a convenient/cost effective alternative to higher price Lake Tekapo accom and was pleased with my choice. Would stay again when visiting Tekapo.

Great retro motel, clean as a whistle, good sized room, parking at door. Our key was in the door on arrival. Five minutes walk into town. Dinning options are very basic on a Monday night. We would have been better off cooking in the units kitchen. Overall a great night.
