Lovely stay in the Rainforest motel. Andy is a great host who made us feel very welcome. We sadly, were only there for one night, as we were passing through on our way to Queenstown, however if we are lucky enough to return to NZ we would definitely stay here for a few nights. The property is comfortable, clean and the unit we had was updated and had a great new bathroom / wet room. The whole motel complex has such a relaxed feel about it and we have no doubt recommending it as a great place to stay. Thank you Andy and staff .

Beautiful place to stay. Good help and advise from the owner. Beware!!! everything in the town closes at 9:30pm not even pack of chips is available past that time. Hotel facilities are modest but clean and well kept. Gets a little cold but I am not used to cold so even a little bit cold seems much to me. Overall a modest place with modest pricing, views are a real bonus!!!
