Nice motel at a very reasonable price for one traveller. Restaurants very close at hand. Room had a wet room, always an advantage! Ferries to watch along with cruise liners plus the Marlborough vineyards just 30km away for tasting and dining

Very friendly staff. Close to ferry terminal. Generally clean and tidy, but there was some mould on window frames in the bedrooms. This was a stand-alone family unit that had good facilities for a family of 5 or 6.
