We were luckily upgraded as other guests stayed longer than expected. This was a real bonus. The units have been upgraded very tastefully and the bathroom was amazing. Great shower. Plenty of space in the bedroom and the lounge. We only stayed one night but wished we could have stayed longer at the motel and in the town.

WOW WOW...what more do you want. I stayed for 2 nights and it was so warm and beautiful. I walked in to brand new carpet, a large t.v. lovely framed photos on the walls and an assortment of teas and coffees to drink after my long journey. Later I had a shower with fantastic water pressure in a bathroom which... More

Stayed here for one night. The units are a decent size with really nice bathrooms with excellent water pressure. Nice big TV if you want to kick back, and there is a nice pool to cool down in. Maybe a little pricy but a very decent place to stay.

Two years ago, my wife and I stayed here and loved it. We repeated the exercise this year and felt the same thing. Murchison itself is classic rural NZ - small, friendly, local businesses useful for locals rather than just tourists. There are two pubs in the village serving meals - one is big and raucous with pile-em-high filling dinners,... More

Murchison Motels is a serviceable, average motel. It is overpriced but there seems to be relatively limited accommodation options in the area to provide competition. The bathroom was very clean and the rest of the unit was also fine in this respect. The bed was king sized which is a bonus. Unfortunately our unit did smell a bit old/musty. So... More

We spent only the one night at Murchison Motels, and were very happy with the quality of the accommodation. We booked one of the studio units and were impressed by its size, the comfort of the king size bed, and the tasteful, quality furnishings. The bathroom was fresh and sparkling, and every need was catered for - including a well-equipped... More

We arrived quite late in Murchison and this was the first place we enquired at. Wonderful welcome , luxury accomodation at an excellent price. King size bed, tea and coffee making facilities. TV, large bathroom and marvellous shower. Next morning greeted by the resident dog, Sydney. Would certainly go back again.

Tea, coffee (they provide you with freshly roasted and ground coffee on request) making facilities and utensils are in the room. There is a small pool too. Good quality... More

I wanted to stay in Murchison because, having passed through it in 2010, it struck me as the archetypal New Zealand country village. And so it proved to be - as far removed from the pace and stress of European life as a first-world village can be. But would there be somewhere decent to stay? This motel looked good on... More
