We stayed here for 6 nights in a ground floor 2 bedroom unit with our 15 month old. Very clean. Small kitchen, good bathroom. Nice linen and local decor. Very modern. Busy road during the day but nice and quiet at night, and we had the closest room to the road. The SKY guest select with all the SKY channels... More

Hi. Thanks for the kind review - much appreciated. Just for your info the rear 2 bedroom suites are a little bigger with bigger kitchens. Hope you are well on the way with a speedy recovery with your ankle. What rotten luck and bloody hard work for everybody with small kids! Cheers. Colin More

We stayed one night here and were extremely impressed! The motelier was very friendly and helpful. We had an upstairs room which was pristine - clean, modern and comfortable. It was close to the main road which was a little noisy but not major enough to be an issue. The spa bath was an added bonus and very welcome after... More

We stayed in March 2012 and booked a king room with private balcony. The decor and bed was excellent as the place is new however i do feel that if you advertise a private balcony it should be and not a common walkway. Other than that the rooms are very nice and owners welcoming at a reasonable price. There are... More

Thanks for taking time to post a review. Your comment regarding the balcony is quite appropriate. Whist we do have a large balcony area upstairs for guests, it is not private. Some sites have "balcony" which we have ticked the box. I will track down the sites that has "private balcony" and delete. Thanks for staying with us and the... More

We only stayed in Oamaru 1 night but the Motor Lodge was lovely. Very comfortable and modern, plenty of car parking and friendly owners. I think it was double glazed because we had no traffic noise although the main road was right there. I would recommend this to all. More

Will definately stay there again More

This is a really basic, but amazingly well kept hotel. From the exterior, although it's not bad, I hadn't expected it to be nearly as nice as it was. It was easily one of the best values (other than our Napier hotel which was also a fair amount more expensive) that we experienced in New Zealand. The management appears to... More

We first stayed here in 2008 soon after they opened and were impressed by the range and quality of the facilities. The return visit did not disappoint. Everything you need for self-catering, spacious living area, two good bedrooms and a well-equipped bathroom, all for NZ$130 a night. Perhaps the one downside is that it is not walking distance to the... More
