We loved the eels in the neighboring stream. The “good” overall rating is for small towns, not cities.

Just renovated -- we might have been first guests -- and immaculate condition. Everything new from unscuffed paint to kitchenette to shower to bathroom tiles to bed to carpet. Small, cozy unit -- has everything we need. Friendly owner and good value too.

10/10

Stayed in a room with a single queen sized bed. Extremely clean room. It was a little tight but you can make due with the microwave, toaster, and hot plate. At check in we got a small pitcher of fresh milk for tea and coffee that was a nice perk. Very quiet with a little rooster crow in the morning.

This was a quaint place to stay, room was a tad small but all good, minutes to drive to main shops and we loved feeding the eels and the lovely japanese garden type area, the owners should advertise these with photos would be a big pull for them, would recommend this motel

Loved the location. Wonderful views and lots of interesting places to look at in Murchison. There was a Hang Gliding Regatta going on there during our short stay and we met some neat people while staying at the Motel.

These quaint cabins are spectacularly clean with modern quality appliances. A perfect nights sleep in a secluded but convenient location. Try the The Cow Shed Restaurant! Never thought to find that good a dining experience in a little town like that.

The kitchen facilities are insufficient to cook a meal - only a microwave and toaster. Other places we’ve stayed in New Zealand had at least a portable hob

Not much spare room in the room. No tap in living area, had to fill the kettle in the bathroom.

6/10

No toiletries provided in the bathroom. No air conditioning. One reading light did not work. A bit of a problem with payment being taken out of our account twice which, by pure good luck, we found. Manager very friendly though. A bit overpriced for what it was. Average hotel, just ok.
