We (a couple) stayed 2 nights, in Room 4. Amross Motel is probably the best motel we have stayed in across several continents, over many decades. Pride of ownership is obvious in the immaculate condition of the rooms and comprehensive furnishings. Even the parking lot was pristine! Barry and Donna were cheery, helpful and attentive. We heartily recommend staying there.

We had to detour to Dunedin and find a last minute hotel. We grabbed Amross last minute on Expedia. It was quite nice, would be expecially nice for longer stays as it has a full kitchen, large space, and parking. The owners, Barry and Donna, really showed pride in their motel, were very helpful, sent a welcome email and made sure that we booked the correct night. 5 stars aren't enough for them! Location is about 4 blocks from the main square and a couple blocks from the University. Very walkable and drivable town.

Amross Motel was a fantastic stop for us on our drive around the South Island. Barry and Donna are so friendly and helpful, have a fantastic knowledge of the local area. The motel is super clean and has everything you could possible need for your stay. Guaranteed parking with no extra cost to your stay is a major plus. We stayed in one of the balcony spa rooms. The spa was very enjoyable after a big day of walking. 10/10 for the Amross Motel
