A great place to stay while catching up with friends in New Plymouth. Maybe a bit dated, the most important thing was friendly staff and very clean unit. Another place we felt happy parking the bike just outside our room. We would be happy to stay here again. More

Older style motel on two levels with plenty of parking. Friendly greeting from Mine Host. Large unit with kitchen facilities but the room had a musty / damp smell probably contributed to the fact that the bathroom area was on an inner wall with no windows and some mold on the ceilings. Apart from that the rest of the unit... More

I thought this place was great. If I'm being really picky, it is not brand spanking new in terms of decor but it is clean, and tidy and well furnished. I had a studio room with a double and a single bed. The room was large, with a table, a desk, chairs, and a kitchen area with toaster, kettle, fridge... More

Travelling with my elderley Mother isn't always easy but Tony was so welcoming & professional & very kindly upgraded us to a larger room which was very much appreciated. The Carrington is excellent value for money & conveniently situated. More

This motel is EXACTLY what you're hoping for when funds are tight. Your room is not going to be outfitted with luxury furnishings, but it is spacious enough, spotlessly clean, and conscientiously maintained. Tony at the front desk (management) is refreshingly professional. There is area information galore in your room. Food cooked on the premises is available to be ordered... More

The room was serviced every day. The Motel is a short walk into the heart of New Plymouth which can be done along the river. New Plymouth has... More

My family and I stayed for a weekend to visit relatives and have a break. Our family unit was adequate for our needs. The decor is older probably the 80's. It needs modernising and to have higher cleanliness. The complaint we have with the room was that the bed spread was old and dirty. More

Wife and I spent a weekend in New Plymouth and stayed here on the Saturday night as our usual accommodation was booked out.. The NP Tourist Information Centre was able to arrange this motel for us . The Carrington is an older style two story building . The grounds are neat and tidy with plenty of parking . Our twin... More

We needed accommodation close to Vogeltown in New Plymouth, and chose the Carrington due to its location. We booked a 'budget family suite' (unit 8) for two nights and were very pleased with our choice. Our room was clean and the motel-grounds were neat and well-maintained. Louise checked us in. She was as friendly and helpful in person as she... More
