Clean and had a real homie feel to it

Not much everything was good

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026

The motel, though a little dated, was nonetheless extremely comfortable and well equipped, and we had a wonderful night's stay. We also enjoyed a glorious walk alongside the Tongariro River, which is a very short walk from the motel.

Nothing could have been better!
