It was ok

Great location for Cornwall Park events

Not enough crockery and cutlery The venue was short staffed We weren't able to check in until 5.30pm

Awful experience

Mould covered ceilings, cupboard where plates and cups were kept smelt awful and made the drinking glasses smell extremely bad too and there was no dish soap to even clean anything. Aircon leaked out water when we used it and caused flooding right next to the bed which caused a slip, we had to use the pots and pans to catch the water.. Beds uncomfortable and old. Was not a pleasant experience especially paying $150 for 1 night Forgot to get photos apart from the water leaking

2.0 / 10.0

Poor attendance and did not even attempt to sort out the problem we had with no hot water available.

Bed and cleanliness was okay. Good location

The reception was really poor. The person then did not show interest in responding to our problem of not having hot water.

We asked for a refund and booked somewhere else at 8pm at night cause we didnt feel safe there. And we are still waiting

Curtains werent hung so there was no privacy from people walking past and looking directly into the room, there was blood stains on the carpet, and a table in the middle of the lounge with no chairs to sit at it.

Don’t stay

Location

Facilities. Went to unit. Had no tv. Second unit looked ok. But only 1 mug , a pot lid, no dishwash. No hairdryer. Had to get clean towels. Everything it advertised it had, It didn’t. Had to make do as we had better things to attend to

Stay away!

The location

The place and facilities need a serious overhaul and upgrade. The shower was broken. There was no handwash and shower gel. The staff provided a soap upon request, but we had to source our own shower gel. The facilities in the kitchen were outdated. The plates were actually saucers. Everything was for two persons even though the booking was for three persons. There was no dishwashing liquid, no spatula, ancient and mismatched cutlery, no lock in the toilet door, no hooks for hanging towels or clothes in the bathroom...and the list goes on and on. Two single beds in the living room had wheels under, so they would keep sliding while you were sleeping or sitting on them.

7.0 / 10.0

Good and cheap.

Good location, cheap but not tacky. They also had a separate bedroom which was good, less snoring while I slept in livingroom, so good for two friends.

Staffing shortage made connecting with them on the low side, but at least for us they were there when we arrived.

Tidy but lots of items missing

The motel was in a great location for where we wanted to go. The room was tidy and having a separate room was handy since we have kids. The heat pump/air conditioning was good.

This was our second time staying here. Our first stay was a few months ago and at the time we discovered there were a lot of things missing - not enough dishes or utensils but also nothing provided so we could wash the few things we did have, not enough towels, we couldn't watch the TV, iron provided but no ironing board etc. We emailed the property to politely inform them but never got a response, and unfortunately nothing was changed by the time we stayed the second time. Rooms all seem different - our first one had a bench top stove but the second one only had a microwave despite there being pots and pans for cooking. One of the kids beds also had a broken leg and would tip if you put pressure on that corner.

Terrible motel

Central to where my family lives.

Unkempt filthy grounds. Eg outside table was dirty with cigarette butt's everywhere. No reception had to ring owner for service. No daily services offered. No dishwash or cloth. No breakfast bowls. Ants in kitchen. Had to hoover our unit ourselves!. Extremely loud motorbikes coming in at 1am waking up everyone. No noise restrictions. Honestly the worst motel I have ever stayed in. I wouldn't recommend going here to stay😬

1.0 / 10.0

Didn’t end up staying because of the probelms but was still charged $160. Ridiculous.

Absolutely nothing

It seemed as it had been previously used as a homeless shelter and hadn’t been cleaned properly since. Advertised 24/7 service but we didn’t get assistance for over an hour. Staff were rude.

7.0 / 10.0

Large rooms, good kitchen, basic but great if you're sticking to a smaller budget.

Both the lounge and bedroom were larger than we were expecting, the kitchen had a fridge with a proper good sized freezer (not just an ice box in the fridge), the heat pump worked great, large mirror with a light and dresser was great to put make up on in front of, and the wardrobe also had a full length mirror on the door, the overall location was quiet. Communicated ahead of time about staff shortages & outlined their plan for this & provided two phone numbers if we needed to make contact if reception was closed, which I appreciated.

The right side of the couch could feel the springs and it was very uncomforatble. The wardrobe didn't have hangers. The plug outlets next to the couch didn't work, the lightbulb in the bedroom had blown (they were short staffed, and we didn't want to bother them & the light over the dresser drawers was enough.), light switch in the bedroom was dirty, when the other ones were clean - i'm guessing it's because its located behind the bedroom door that it gets missed?

6.0 / 10.0

Stay was ok for the price

Good price for the location

The motel really could do with some good old fashioned maintenance. I think they were under staffed and it did show. Our Unit 4 did not have breakfast plates, only one butter knife and the sink tap was loose and lawn needed mowing.

Would I go there again, yes, clean spacy and friendly staff.

I requested for a different room due to health issues, they provided a different room on the spot without hesitating. Staff very friendly easy to approach and communicate with. Thank you

Not enough pillows provided, however I could have asked but I didn't.

It was ok for the money we paid but the place needs a bit of refurbishing

Not applicable

No milk Curtain tracks unmaintained - ie come off tracks in bedroom and sitting room Fire alarm not fitted Insufficient towels four four people, was 3 only Was told on the Wednesday before there was a double booking eith dot com and they couldn't accommodate us. I said to the owner this was unacceptable and it was a people fault not a system or computer fault. I stood my ground and said I was not happy and would not accept what I was bring told and regardless was going to come to the motel and see him on the day to sort it out. Subsequently he advised my booking was now ok . It was a totally strange and bad situation to go through.

5.0 / 10.0

Value for money, but won't be back.

I liked the area the motel was, the beds were comfortable

The stairs were narrow and the railing moveable. The cleaner had left equipment at the bottom of the stairs making it dangerous. Didn't appear to have free TV (someone left their YouTube logged in so we just used that). The staff claimed we booked a different day until I showed confirmation.

7.0 / 10.0

Despite the shortcomings, good value for money and would probably stay again for an night

Facilities are fine, clean and tidy

There appears to be some kind of water pressure enhancing device in each room. Unfortunately this is hideously loud each time the upstairs room runs the tap/shower to the extent that it woke up an otherwise heavy sleeper. There is also no heating or extra blankets and the showers don’t seem to have a s trap preventing fumes from coming up, although that’s not an issue once you run some water

Would never stay here again.

The location was excellent.

When we arrived, there were some disheveled-looking people in the driveway pulling a car engine to pieces. They had a huge American Bulldog with them, which made us feel uneasy. Although the reception sign said "open," there was a note on the door stating: “We regret to inform you that due to the current challenging economic situation, we must take steps to minimize our operational costs.” A phone number was provided. When I called, the person who answered mumbled something inaudible—I assume it was a greeting. I had to ask, “Is this the Ranfully Evergreen?” They confirmed and said they would drive down to give us our key. So we waited, surrounded by rust, overgrown weeds, and a place that looked like it should have been bulldozed. Out the back window, there was an old, rusted fridge dump yard, adding to the overall sense of neglect. When the host finally arrived, he was unfriendly. He didn’t show us to our room or offer any information—just handed us a swipe card. Inside the unit, we found just two towels, two forks, one spoon, and one knife—despite booking for three people. We had booked a unit with a separate room, but it was poorly designed. Half the wall was glass, so light and noise passed through easily. It offered no privacy. The water pressure was almost non-existent—just a dribble from the taps. I couldn’t even rinse toothpaste off my toothbrush properly. The bed was the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept on. It was a mismatched double mattress on a queen or king base, with no mattress protector and only a single flat sheet. The sheet kept slipping off, revealing a mattress covered in yellow, brown, and red stains. Out of sheer frustration, we ended up taking the mattress off and sleeping on the floor. The base was missing legs and had been roughly patched with misaligned scrap wood. There were no power outlets near the bed, so I had to charge my phone across the room. The blanket smelled mouldy.

Very big rooms and very clean.

Depending on the room, the wifi wouldnt work properly

Overall very close to venue we were going to

Would of been nice to have a plate for each person staying, we used a plate from next door so our kids could have breakfast

Not enough plates for those who paid to stay

4.0 / 10.0

Lesson learned.

It was close to the event we were attending

I know management can’t predict who they allow to stay at the facilities on short term basis however the lack of noise control amongst a few things for the “long termers” was imminent. Sadly the fear of safety for management was more prominent than the safety of those actually paying for their stay. Not to mention a young family of girls. I did not enjoy my stay and I felt extremely unsafe for myself and my girls thanks to the neighbors in room 10. I had zero sleep and decided to vacate and travel back home on the 3 hour drive back and take the risk than stay another night. Management did however reimburse my last nights stay. They handled that part well. Just a shame the long termers have to ruin it for the people who purely just wanted a place to rest while enjoying Auckland on short term at the same time. The lack of tea/coffee facilities were up there too and clean dishes were limited for a family of 4. Overall the place wasn’t a bad stay however just lacked a bit of care and what they allow on their premises. It has potential for growth with the right mindset and support (that’s not govt funded)

5.0 / 10.0

It was fine.

Location was close to the venue as planned. Beds were comfortable, shower was decent.

Laundry was lacking no iron to tidy up shirts. Toilet had no locks nor sound proofing which is uncomfortable. About an hour before arrival we were rung up to say that they cancelled our booking. No plan to compensate us properly. That is terrible service, but we then got recalled to let us know they found a space for us. Very questionable booking systems, would not stay here again for that reason alone. No breakfast whatsoever.

Shocking!

The free packet of unused condoms we found under the bed

This accommodation is used as emergency housing, there is no free wifi as advertised, hardly no kitchen bits and pieces, there is no one on reception, they do not answer your requests, there is no mini mart as advertised in reception. Staff lie to you about fixing the free wifi by contacting the boss but actually driving of the premises instead of getting back to you. I travel around NZ quite a bit on a budget for sporting events so I don’t pay for 5 star accommodation but what I do pay for is what I read in there advertising from booking.com. This place needs to be blacklisted. We were there in May and the Xmas tree was still up in reception, when you arrive you need to call someone and they will be with you in 5 - 10 minutes, he drove up the drive to give me my key and for me to pay. The one thing I have learnt from this is to inspect what I have paid for before I actually hand over my money. We had to dine out each night as I refused to eat from the kitchen things. There were 3 of us staying with 1 glass supplied, 2 forks no cups and ……………..I’m too busy this place is just shit

1.0 / 10.0

Do not stay here

Nothing aside from the place giving us somewhere to sleep and it was close to where we needed to go

We paid top dollar for a family room, the TV was not working, the door was drafty, there was next to no dinner plates, there was no cutlery at all. We were kept up at night by revving cars and people in the early hours of the morning.

Horrible

Being only 10Mins drive from main city

Shocking service. Waited 30-40 mins to be let into our room. Had to call multiple times to get through to anyone to actually come down and let us in. 1st Room No working tv no working aircon Room was very unclean. Got moved to second room to A working tv and aircon but another mess was soon to be found. Very little cleaning done here at all. Shower won’t drain previous peoples hair all stuck in drain. Shower pressure very low and doesn’t take long before it’s ankle deap. Complex is very loud and messy lots of rubbish around the place. Other residents blocking stairs and being loud in general. would not recommend to anyone to come stay here. Will not be coming back!
