Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The room was nice and spacious, there was a really nice cafe located at the motel as well and there was also a spa bath in our room which was excellent. Bed was comfy and spacious (bigger than mine) and with a TV and Sky provided, it's a great way to wind down after a long day. Also a huge thank you to the cleaning staff for servicing our room everyday, it is very much appreciated.

    My daughter & I stayed overnight the room was extremely clean, comfortable and quiet. It was just bliss to arrive at such a comfortable homely overnight place after a very long few days of travelling and driving. We would absolutely 💯 ❤️ encourage anyone looking for a motel to stay in so close to supermarket, and food outlets. Thankyou sorry it's taken so long to reply we have had whanau from Australia over. Definitely would stay again when back up that way.

    We enjoyed everything about the Complex Motel as it is in a great location, with plenty of parking, very central to the main street and within walking distance to everything. The unit was very comfortable and warm with everything needed for a memorable stay. Owners were so friendly and welcoming as well.

    Immaculately clean and well presented rooms. The bed was huge and super comfortable, and a nice big bathroom with a spa bath and shower. There is plenty of hot water and great water pressure. The motel is located on a main road, but with double glazing and blackout curtains, not a sound could be heard. Great motel managers who, on my arrival, gave me a room upgrade for no additional cost. I have never given such a good review like this to a motel before, but this one deserves it.

    We liked the location of the motel as we could easily walk into the centre of town or across to the river and the port area. We appreciated being able to walk into the town to check out restaurants. The fish and chips we bought from Gibbo's on the Wharf were superb.
