This charming, family run little motel in Collingwood was one of my highlights during my stay in NZ. The owners are wonderful and know alot about the area, the highlight was whaririki beach,... More

I dont usually leave reviews but this place deserves one. We had the nicest time, the owners are really friendly and always seem so happy with their little motel and cute little family. Room was clean and comfortable and really well priced compared to the big motel next door. Free internet was great. Collingwood has a nice feel to it,... More

This is an old town police station converted into a motel. We stayed in one of the 2 units at the front of the structure. There are also 2 separate units on the hill behind the house. It was very cute, very clean, and well located. The hosts were the best. We slept very well on the bed and the... More

Hosts are really nice and helpful. Stayed in the caravan as the town was booked out. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a quite stay. Very competitive pricing. I was lucky to get a booking as there were several events on. The site is located on the edge of town is less than a minute’s walk.

We stayed in studio apartment at front of the house. It was very private, quiet and nicely restored and furnished. Collingwood is a little town and we were able to walk around it and to the beach from the motel. The couple that run it are lovely. We stayed three nights and had plenty to do. Collingwood is more remote... More

Thanks Marilyn for the review. Yes the DVD library is a bit of a hit gets a bit of a work out, usually more in the winter. Guest like that its free. We like our services to be free, like the internet, parking, late checkouts, BBQ, trampoline for the kids. Thanks again and see you next time. More

The Station House Motel, is a delightful building, the rooms are very well appointed (great shower) and has all modern amenities but with casual charm. The owners are very knowledgeable and helpful and we could not have wished for a better place to stay and enjoy the area. Aboslutley recommended 100% and would stay there anytime.
