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.

Arrived with a confirmed booking to be told they were full. No apologies and no help. The owners did not even come out to talk with us. A night in the car at 60 is not fun

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.
