7.0 / 10.0

Good value for money, very basic but great size rooms

We booked two bedroom apartments and they were excellent sizes with full kitchens and big living spaces.

It was very dated, needs a lot of refurbishment but in saying that it was reasonably priced. The pool unfortunately had the cleaning equipment in it and lots of bugs and debris which put us off swimming in it.

peaceful, thank you

we had a pool side room but the pool was filthy. not usable. all outdoor furniture was dirty and cracked when we sat on it as it was weather worn badly. no place to sit outside or table for drink. The room as good. the bed was lovely and we slept well.

The pool condition. we chose this Motel from the list as it was very hot travelling all day in the car and we were looking forward to having a swim, the pool was outside our door which was wonderful but when we got changed and went outside, the pool was very dirty, debris and bugs on the water,, black lumps and mould on the bottom, all furniture outside was dangerous and should be removed. The pool vacuum was in the pool but was not turned on, nor the pump for skimming. Unhealthy all round

Happy with the location, easy to find, comfortable and convenient.

We appreciated the spaciousness.

There were some dodgy power points.

4.0 / 10.0

A very stressful night.

The room was spotless, well appointed and comfortable.

However the overall factor that disappointed us was at least 2 rooms of very noisy people. The noise started at about 4pm when they checked in and it kept going until midnight. Management were spoken to regarding this issue at around 8pm. We were advised that Management knew these people as they were regulars and that they were good people. Staff did speak to the group around 9.30pm, but it made little difference. Would I stay here again - yes - BUT NOT ON A LONG WEEKEND.

9.0 / 10.0

Easy recommend for family getaway

Check in and out was easy, we had friendly staff who upgraded our room and gave us tips about local sights. We liked the large bedroom with comfortable beds, kitchen facilities and spacious bathroom

Could have 2 bathrooms to help facilitate larger families with kids but not essential

It was very brief but lovely and comfortable.

We didnt have breakfast. Beds were lovely and comfortable. We were away early so didnt have a lot of time. My son had a few problems with the TV . Box fell down from under the Telly.

We were not there long enough to form opinions. We arrived at 10.30 pm and left at 8am. We went up to Dargaville overnight to pick up an elderly relative from the Rest Home and return to the South Island on the Monday.

8.0 / 10.0

Clean and comfortable.

Kitchen area was well resourced, everything you could need. Heater worked and having a couch is good.

The tv was louder in the bathroom than the bedroom. Slightly strange setup, probably because it is quite dated.

The bed could have done with a topper pad.

Love staying at Hobson Choice Motel and highly recommend this place to stay for a night or more

We have stayed here three times and found from the greeting in the office to check out, the manager is amazing, friendly and helpful. He upgraded us each time and the rooms were exceptional, plenty of room and a second room for my 16 year old granddaughter. The washing machine and dryer were an added bonus and saved me time at the laundromat plus reasonable priced. Would highly recommend staying here to everyone who visits Dargaville.

The internet is not the best but has been really bad since Cyclone Gabrielle two years ago, the town is in the process of installing 5G and hopefully this helps with everyone in the town.

9.0 / 10.0

Comfortable and great value for money

Very smooth booking in with a delightful young man, Luke, helping with the luggage. The rooms were immaculately clean, roomy and comfortable. The carpet, although clean as, was a little old, but that would be the only thing we could possibly comment on in the most minor negative fashion. I would book again here in a heartbeat - certainly value for money.

Loved it.
