The unit was spacious and clean. The kitchen was spotless. However, we did find the unit was not equipped to handle wintry conditions. Main heater was blowing hot air but wasn't effective in warming up the room as the air was directed to the floor in front of it and it would shut off itself after some time. There was a small portable heater in the wardrobe/storage space which we tried to use in the room but it wasn't enough. We did not use the spare pillows in the wardrobe because they did not look like they were changed before our stay (looked dusty). Luckily, heated blankets were provided but we found that some were unplugged from the power sockets and we had to move the beds around ourselves a bit to get the power supply connected. The location was along a major road so there could be a bit of noise in the early night but nothing disrupting our sleep. I do think the laundry usage hours (1PM-7PM) was a bit too restrictive for short-term guests.

stayed here with the family for one night on our tour of New Zealand. Came to see the penguins. Owners were right on site to answer any questions and very informative. At the quiet end of town so no traffic but convenient to both dining groceries and shopping. Could walk to center of town in 25 minutes.

Great motel.
Good motel for a rest stop on our way to Dunedin. Nice clean spacious room. Comfy king size bed with good linen. Good sized bathroom with shelves in the shower! Very useful but rare! Although on the Highway room was quiet and good curtains cut out the light.
