NauMai Motel
This place was very easy to find, we were traveling down from Auckland and needed somewhere to stay. This was the perfect spot for needing a quick shower and overnight sleep. Front desk was super helpful and ready for our stay even tho we reserved the room online a couple hours before arriving.
