Overall nice stay
Nice lodge/motel, a little bit away from the city center. Quiet and peaceful. Owner/manager was VERY friendly and helpful. Room was serviced/cleaned each day with fresh towels and tea, etc. which was much appreciated. Future guests should know that the shared kitchen is not much of a kitchen; there is no oven and no proper stove (only a hot plate). This was not an issue for us, but it might be for others who are expecting to cook their meals. Overall a very nice stay and I would recommend the Aotearoa Lodge to others.

The place was very clean and quiet and the room large and comfortable. The room really needed a comfy chair though and the shower was very old fashioned but the water was nice and hot. The wi-fi was very good but the TV only had 3 watchable channels.
