Great Motel in Murchison -- Just Renovated
Just renovated -- we might have been first guests -- and immaculate condition. Everything new from unscuffed paint to kitchenette to shower to bathroom tiles to bed to carpet. Small, cozy unit -- has everything we need. Friendly owner and good value too.

Alex, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok for 1 night
The kitchen facilities are insufficient to cook a meal - only a microwave and toaster. Other places we’ve stayed in New Zealand had at least a portable hob

Perfectly situated in town, quiet situation
Sue, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a quaint place to stay, room was a tad small but all good, minutes to drive to main shops and we loved feeding the eels and the lovely japanese garden type area, the owners should advertise these with photos would be a big pull for them, would recommend this motel
Johan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the location. Wonderful views and lots of interesting places to look at in Murchison. There was a Hang Gliding Regatta going on there during our short stay and we met some neat people while staying at the Motel.

10/10 Exceptional

These quaint cabins are spectacularly clean with modern quality appliances. A perfect nights sleep in a secluded but convenient location. Try the The Cow Shed Restaurant! Never thought to find that good a dining experience in a little town like that.

Karen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was very small. If We stayed again would choose the dearer option. Nowhere to put suitcases except on the table
Carolyn, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not value for money washing dishes in a small basin in the bathroom not a good look Laundry was not available due to some breakdown with the motels Landry machine
Warwick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was small with no wardrobe or hanging space. Basic amenities in bathroom with tiny basin and no shelving. Shower was excellent. Kitchen supplies/utensils were meagre.
Ronald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not much spare room in the room. No tap in living area, had to fill the kettle in the bathroom.
Jillian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No toiletries provided in the bathroom. No air conditioning. One reading light did not work. A bit of a problem with payment being taken out of our account twice which, by pure good luck, we found. Manager very friendly though. A bit overpriced for what it was. Average hotel, just ok.
Penelope, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had to wash dishes in a small hand basin. There was only a shower curtain. Only two overhead lights. One in the living area and 1 in the bathroom. We had a wardrobe door key to our room which shows its age. This room was definitely not value for money. The heater was on which was a plus but why not turn the fridge on. Very disappointed with this accommodation

Sehr herzlicher Empfang. Bill hat sich um all unsere Wünsche persönlich und sofort gekümmert: den Pool abgedeckt, die Nutzung der Waschmaschine gezeigt, Restaurants im Ort (fußläufig erreichbar) empfohlen. Das Zimmer war sauber, gut ausgestattet.
