Beautiful villa with a very large bedroom, including two queen-size beds. Large kitchen and dinning room available. Large lounge with a comfortable suite and TV with Sky available. Leanne, the owner, was very friendly and had a great pride in the property.

Beautiful House! Gorgeous to sit in the guest lounge and absorb the beautiful ceilings and fire places.
I know keeping these older buildings is a labour of love & this shows clearly. Spotless motel room, very comfortable.
Host is AMAZING lovely lady to chat with about the house and life in general.
Not a single thing!

We stayed in Unit 2 which has been renovated - beautifully done.
It’s a compact two bedroom unit but it had everything we needed and a comfy bed!

Nice and clean. Neat and tidy.
No Air Conditioning. Mirrors in the rooms would be convenient due to shared bathroom arrangements.

It was clean. The bed was comfortable
I was expecting to stay in the beautiful house as per the photos. However, “a motel room” is actually one of the ugly old bungalows outside the house. It was a truly dismal affair. Worst place we stayed in New Zealand. No climate control in the bedrooms, just an air conditioner outside the rooms and it didn’t penetrate the bedrooms. It was all so primitive and old. I hated it. We left early morning. No garden - not even a tree to protect you from the sun and provide a bit of privacy. We had to keep the blinds shut for any privacy. You could hear trucks in the road and people talking. The bathroom was unbelievably primitive- something you’d see in a 50s caravan park. No water pressure in the ridiculous shower. No shelves to put your soap or toiletries just the stainless steel floor. The lighting was very poor However what really annoys me is the dishonesty. It should be clearly stated that you will have no access to the beautiful house and the “motel rooms” should be more aptly named

Loved the style of the house. Our room was quiet and kitchen facilities very good.
We were surprised the shower floor hadn’t been shaped by tiler so that the water flowed down the drain. Our floor got very wet which could have been a danger.

We love the old world charm of a beautifully restored heritage home. Our room was massive with two double beds and ensuite. Cooking and dining facilities are available if you want and the owners are always available and happy to help out with whatever else you want.
Nothing really.

service was awesome and the accommodation was prefect.
It not a biggy but no sky sports or tv that we could cast to. Only so we could watch the Kiwi's and All Blacks as both had games during the weekend.

A beautiful house, we stayed in the Heritage suite which used to be a ballroom. Everything of finest quality and very well set up kitchen. Lovely gardens
We liked everything, If we’re being picky maybe the shower in en suite could have door of some kind instead of curtain.

Beautiful property! The motel very comfortable and clean. Lovely host. Thank you
The only thing that would have added a bit of value would have been some info about local eateries, markets etc. - but I guess there is google for that lol

Great accommodation, location was perfect for us. Beautiful property, well cared for by the friendly management who were happy to show us around and share some of the history of the town/hotel. Would definitely recommend to couples or families.

We loved the heritage and history of the beautiful grand villa, well maintained and amenities were great. It was warm, cosy and very charming which was great, because there is always a risk with older premises being cold and creepy!
Nothing really, as long as you are aware that in the Villa you might have to share the kitchen, dining and lounge with other guests if you want to spread out. We were the only guest this night, but it wouldnt have bothered us to meet others in the shared spaces.

It is a beautiful property. We booked out the house for a family wedding weekend. It suited so well. Lots of space, and the ability to be self contained with a large kitchen, dining, and fabulous outdoor area. The host was so accommodating. Nothing was too much. I would absolutely recommend.

We booked a motel unit at a very busy time in Waikato, which suited the purpose.
We viewed the rooms in the villa, several of which would be great for a romantic night away.

A lovely quaint place to stay that was a little different to other motels. Leanne was a lovely host and we felt we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend going to T&S nearby (drive) if looking for gluten free fish and chips.

Great location. Unit 4. Warm. Full kitchen facilities but no couch, just 2 bedrooms. Perfect for a place to sleep
Bathroom ... great size although dated.
Curtains in kitchen need replacing.
Outside door in bedroom didnt have s curtain so street lights were shining in st night.
Nowhere to relax as a family as no lounge facilities in the unit.

Charming house with a homey feel. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were well kept. Nice property. Felt like we stayed in middle class Downton Abbey.
Wish they had breakfast available. But had facilities to be able to make your own
