This is a very clean, comfortable property, close to town and in a safe area. The room itself was very clean and well provisioned for our purposes; we were an overnight stay and wanted to have a snack and heat up breakfast. The price is fair too. Overall, I would recommend staying here if you are in the area.

Great spot in Darfield

Great hosts. Room exceptionally clean. Great place to stay for the price. Walls a little thin, but my neighbours were well behaved, so not a problem. Motel is older, very clean and tidy. Would recommend.

Overall a very good stay. We had a 2 bedroom uni and requested an early checkin as we were attending a wedding and needed to get changed etc. On arrival everything went well and early checkin was granted. Rooms were clean and tidy. TV in min lounge a little small and the one in the main bedroom was very small. Beds were comfortable but a little hard, mattress topper might be a good idea. Overall I'd stay there again as hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
