Alexander Motel
"The Alexander Motel served us pretty well for an overnight stay prior to a forgotten world tour. There wasn't much personality at check-in nor was the room as clean as it could have been but it was adequate. The walk to main street for a meal is easy. Would recommend the Monsoon Indian"

Central Park Motor Inn
"Very clean unit and our dishes were washed after our first night. (We had had a very early start that day and didn’t expect it!) Just a comment the soaps in the shower are hard to work when you have your glasses off and didn’t see the “press here” message written on them!"

Hukapapa Accommodation Teina
"This was a difficult stay. The house sits so close to the road that the whole building shakes when heavy vehicles pass by, which is often. It was hard to sleep under these conditions, and not very pleasant to be in the house when awake."
