It was 200 meters from Highway one and close to the Dutch Molen restaurant and Foxtons fish and chip shop, both of them excellent. We took our fish and chips down to Foxton beach and watched the sun set. Our main like was our lovely hosts Leslie and Psul who wanted to make sure everything was satisfactory, which it was.

The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there and the staff were incredibly friendly and personable. When we arrived the owner was incredibly welcoming and told us places to visit, things to do and where to eat dinner. She was an exceptional host. Would definitely stay again!

10/10 for absolutely everything! First things first, Denis, our host was absolutely fantastic and accommodating for us to check in late so we can enjoy the lovely weather. He also gave us really good trail recommendations since our plans to do the Crossing have been cancelled. The room itself was big, clean, comfortable with a huge bed and new facilities in the bathroom and kitchen. The shower was a delight! And to top everything, there is a hot tub to enjoy after a long day of hiking. Best place in NZ so far.

Great service. Jenny is very thoughtful welcoming and helpfull. She thinks of the little things that make a difference in comparison to other Motels I have stayed in such as turning the heat pump on so when I arrive the room is lovely and warm. I won't stay anywhere else when I'm working in Taumarunui. The unit is spotless, the bed is comfortable and the shower pressure is amazing. The unit has everything I need.

During his stay at the motel while working in the area, our data technician found plenty of positives: easy parking, felt safe and secure, a comfy bed, and the host was super helpful with a late check-out because of his late work hours. He'd definitely choose to stay there again in the future.

Very friendly cleaner who was most accommodating, but my idea of motels is not contacting the cleaner after 8.30am but reception when I want then. Nice bathroom products.

We have stayed in multiple motels like this where the rooms are a little dated. Don't let this put you off. The hosts are friendly, the rooms are very clean and well maintained, especially for their age.

Great motel, much bigger than expected. Room was lovely, away from the road. Comfy beds, huge bath - only disappointment was a late night ant invasion!! Also got the morning sun which the hotels over the road didn't!
